Silencing Psychology

The tendency for the field of psychology to remain silent about the internal practices that silence diverse viewpoints, and frames of reference through which phenomena may be understood. Many of these tendencies come from practices that claim to be "Critical," and without contest.

The professor was practicing silencing psychology as he professed hard and fast viewpoints that increased discomfort among his students, leading to their total shut down in the class discussion.

Aardvark of Silence

The Aardvark of Silence is based on one of the Rorschach inkblot images and refers to any post made by a moderator on an internet forum which, while innocuous in content, is interpreted as insensitive, silencing, or mocking of a member or members.

The moderator has no idea when she has posted an Aardvark of Silence, because the Aardvark of Silence is a member's projection onto the hapless moderator her own inner fears and conflicts. There is no way to not post an Aardvark of Silence. The Aardvark of Silence is inevitable.

Member1: I'm feeling happy today.

Moderator: Yay!

Member2: WTF did you mean by that?

Moderator: Aardvark of Silence.
