Get the Post-Fartum Depression mug.The error of declaring certain claims to be facts and others to be false based on nothing but personal preference or tribal allegiance, ignoring evidence, expertise, and consistency. This fallacy is how someone can believe that vaccines are dangerous despite overwhelming scientific consensus, or that an election was stolen despite dozens of court cases and audits. Facts become a la carte: you pick what's true based on what feels good, what your team believes, or what serves your interests. The fallacy of arbitrary factuality is the death of shared reality, because if facts are just whatever you want them to be, then we're not having a conversation—we're just yelling at each other from different dimensions.
Example: "She committed the fallacy of arbitrary factuality in the group chat, declaring that a viral TikTok was 'facts' while dismissing a peer-reviewed study as 'just someone's opinion.' When asked why, she said the study 'felt wrong' and the TikTok 'felt right.' Facts, for her, were feelings, and reality was whatever she felt like believing."

Get the Fallacy of Arbitrary Factuality mug.The principle that factuality exists on a spectrum between absolute and relative, with infinite gradations and multiple dimensions. Under this law, a statement isn't simply factual or not factual—it's factual to some degree, in some frameworks, under some interpretations, for some purposes. The law of spectral factuality recognizes that factuality is not binary but continuous, that claims can be more or less supported, more or less independent of perspective, more or less universal in their validity. This law is essential for understanding debates where both sides claim facts—they're often occupying different positions on the factuality spectrum, not disagreeing about the same facts.
Law of Spectral Factuality Example: "He analyzed the climate debate using spectral factuality, mapping claims across dimensions: empirical support (high for mainstream science, low for denial), framework dependence (some claims hold across frameworks, others don't), interpretive flexibility (data can be read multiple ways). The spectral coordinates explained why both sides felt factual—they were, just in different senses. The map didn't resolve the debate, but it showed why it was so persistent."

Get the Law of Spectral Factuality mug.The principle that factuality operates in two modes: absolute facts (statements that are true regardless of perspective, context, or interpretation) and relative facts (statements that are true within a framework but may not hold across frameworks). The law acknowledges that some facts are universal—the Earth orbits the Sun, water is H2O—while others depend on conventions—"this is a meter long" depends on what a meter means. The law of absolute and relative factuality reconciles the reality of objective facts with the observation that many facts are framework-dependent. It's the foundation of scientific realism tempered with sociological awareness.
Law of Absolute and Relative Factuality Example: "They argued about whether the company's success was a fact. Absolute factuality: revenue numbers were real, measurable, undeniable. Relative factuality: whether that counted as 'success' depended on profit margins, market share, and what you valued. The law of absolute and relative factuality said: the numbers were absolute; their interpretation was relative. They stopped arguing about facts and started arguing about values."
