It's a Fact Card

The tactic of ending debate by loudly declaring one's own position as an indisputable "fact," thereby framing any further disagreement as irrational denialism. This move aggressively shuts down nuance by claiming the mantle of objective truth, often by cherry-picking a single statistic or a broadly accepted premise while ignoring context, interpretation, or counter-evidence. It's a power play to position oneself as the voice of reality and the opponent as a "fact-denier."

It's a Fact Card *Example: In a climate change discussion: "CO2 levels are rising. That's a fact card. If you disagree, you're anti-science." This ignores the nuanced debate about impacts, mitigation strategies, and economic trade-offs, reducing everything to a single, weaponized data point to foreclose all further conversation.*

Theory of All Facts Are Cherry-Pickable

The formal sociological and epistemological principle that because human knowledge is vast and fragmented, and because all narratives require selection, any political, ideological, or marketing campaign can and will build its case on a foundation of carefully chosen, verifiable facts. The theory states that the battle is never over "facts vs. lies," but over which curated subset of facts achieves cultural dominance and gets woven into the accepted story. Truth becomes a matter of narrative victory, not just verification.

Example: The Theory of All Facts Are Cherry-Pickable explains how two historians can both use authentic archives to "prove" diametrically opposed views of an empire—one highlighting its architectural achievements (cherry-picked facts of grandeur), the other its slave ledgers (cherry-picked facts of brutality). Both are factual, but the chosen narrative defines the "truth."

Bias of Fact-Checking

The inherent skew introduced when the process of verifying factual claims becomes institutionalized, gatekept by specific media or tech entities, and is applied disproportionately. This bias isn't about truth vs. falsehood, but about which truths get scrutinized, how context is framed, and whose statements are subjected to a forensic audit while others enjoy implied credibility. It often reflects the political and cultural priorities of the fact-checking institution.

Example: A fact-checking organization rigorously rates a progressive politician's minor statistical exaggeration as "Mostly False," while using a more charitable, context-laden analysis to rate a conservative ally's demonstrably false claim about election integrity as "Lacking Context." The bias of fact-checking lies in the uneven application of scrutiny, shaping public perception of credibility rather than merely dispensing truth.

Fallacy of Arbitrary Factuality

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."

Law of Spectral Factuality

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."

Texan PB&J Factory

The Texan PB&J Factory is a sexual move performed between 2 consenting partners. It requires immense rectal strength to properly perform. In the first stage, one partner must assume the piledriver position and point their ass directly at the roof/sky, while the other must procure at least 50 peanuts, 10 packing peanuts, 50g of butter, two slices of bread, and 500mg of jalapeño blackberry jam. The partner with the ingredients must first probe the other partner's rectum until the anus is loose enough for insertion, then lather the asshole with butter. Then, they must insert one slice of bread, followed by 250mg of jam, then packing peanuts, then regular peanuts, then 250mg of jam, then bread again. Afterwards, it must marinate inside the partner's gut for 24 hours before being shat back out, then enjoyed as a delicacy between both partners. Then they must both jerk off and eat that for dessert.

Guy A: Carl just Texan PB&J Factory'd Jessica!
Guy B: I am going to give that lousy, lowdown fucker a Glasgow Smile.
Guy C: Haha Joker!
