Psychology of Evidence, Science, and Logic

A field that studies how human minds actually engage with evidence, science, and logic—including cognitive biases, motivated reasoning, the role of emotion in scientific judgment, and the psychological appeal of conspiratorial thinking. It examines how scientists themselves are subject to the same cognitive limitations as everyone else, and how the ideal of pure reason is never fully attainable.

Example: “The psychology of evidence, science, and logic research showed that even expert scientists exhibited confirmation bias when reviewing papers from competing labs—the brain does not become purely rational with a PhD.”

Critical Analysis of Evidence, Science, and Logic

A methodological approach that applies critical theory to the concepts of evidence, science, and logic themselves. It asks how these concepts have been used to exclude, silence, and naturalize power. It reveals that appeals to “evidence” can mask epistemic injustice, that “science” can function as a gatekeeper for colonial knowledge hierarchies, and that “logic” can be weaponized against those whose reasoning does not fit classical norms.

Example: “The critical analysis of evidence, science, and logic revealed that the demand for ‘evidence’ from indigenous communities was often a demand for assimilation—proof according to Western standards became a tool of epistemic violence.”

Logie Special

When an individual (a male) wears a shirt and shorts combo, where the length of the shirt surpasses the length of the shorts. It appears that the individual is only wearing a shirt but in reality, they are also wearing shorts. It's not just a fashion, it's a lifestyle.

1. Guy 1: "Are you only wearing a t-shirt?"
Guy 2: "Nope, there are shorts under there."
Guy 1: "Ahh, nice."

2. If an NBA player's jersey were to untuck, pre-90s, they would be sporting a 'Logie Special.'

Login Syndrome

Adding unnecessary features to a project, normally in programming, with the purpose of padding out the project and making it look like you've actually done something. Can be extended to video games adding unnecessary content that no one asked for to make it look like they care about their product.

Bro 1: "Bro did you see they added new skins to Halo."

Bro 2: "Yeah bro 343 have login syndrome bro that shit looks wack."
