Neoliberal Orwellianism

The linguistic and managerial toolkit of neoliberalism: calling citizens "customers" or "stakeholders," recasting public goods as "investment opportunities," and framing massive inequality as "talent retention." It uses the language of freedom, choice, and efficiency to justify the consolidation of power and wealth, making exploitation sound like empowerment and extraction sound like growth.

Example: "The corporate memo was pure Neoliberal Orwellianism: 'We're empowering our associates with a dynamic career transition opportunity (mass layoffs) to streamline our talent ecosystem (cut costs) and enhance shareholder value (boost stock price). Your severance is an investment in your future journey (you're on your own).' It translated human devastation into the sterile, positive-sounding jargon of a business school case study."

Neorationalism

A modern revival of extreme rationalist philosophy which posits that reason and rationality are the only tools capable of determining objective reality. It explicitly devalues empirical observation, intuition, and embodied experience as unreliable or secondary. Reality is what can be deduced, not what can be sensed.

Neorationalism Example: An online community that tries to deduce the principles of a perfect society entirely from first philosophical principles and game theory, dismissing historical examples and sociological data as “corrupted” evidence. They believe pure reason, from an armchair, can blueprint reality.

Neologicalism

The belief that formal logical systems are the fundamental substrate of reality, and that logical consistency is the primary criterion for truth. If something is logically coherent, it is considered real or valid, even in defiance of empirical evidence. It’s logic as ontology.

Neologicalism Example: A person arguing that because the concept of a “perfect being” is logically coherent (in their view), such a being must therefore exist. They prioritize the airtight nature of their syllogism over the lack of any observable evidence, making logic the creator of facts.

Neon Saturday

A micro-visual-novel storytelling format consisting of extremely short (5–10 second) narrative clips that deliver a single emotional or philosophical beat using retro visual novel aesthetics.

Common traits:
• 5–10 second runtime

“That clip felt like a Neon Saturday — short, nostalgic, and straight to the point.”

Neoclassical Postmodernism

A contemporary revival and reinterpretation of classical postmodern themes, adapting them to 21st-century conditions. Neoclassical Postmodernism returns to the founding insights—the critique of grand narratives, the deconstruction of binaries, the emphasis on difference—while applying them to new phenomena: digital culture, algorithmic power, platform capitalism. It's postmodernism for the age of surveillance, of social media, of artificial intelligence. Neoclassical Postmodernism honors the classical tradition while refusing to treat it as scripture, updating its tools for new tasks.

Example: "He'd studied classical postmodernism and loved it. But the world had changed—Foucault hadn't imagined algorithms; Derrida hadn't deconstructed Twitter. Neoclassical Postmodernism gave him tools to apply classical insights to contemporary conditions. The spirit remained; the applications evolved."

Neoclassical Relativism

A contemporary revival of classical relativism, adapting its insights to modern conditions while avoiding its pitfalls. Neoclassical Relativism accepts the core relativist insight—that truth and values are context-dependent—while rejecting the extreme conclusion that all views are equally valid. It develops criteria for evaluating perspectives within contexts, for comparing across contexts, for making judgments without absolutes. Neoclassical Relativism is relativism with standards, pluralism with teeth, the recognition that different doesn't mean equal.

Example: "He'd been attracted to relativism but troubled by its 'anything goes' implications. Neoclassical Relativism gave him a way forward: different contexts, different truths—but within contexts, some truths were better than others. He could respect diversity without giving up on judgment."
