Soyphisticated

Share definition
A highly biased, and mostly unintelligible attempt at sophistication, relying mostly on buzzwords, slogans, and hashtags, with no actually logically deduced opinions.
The protestors were chanting a lot of buzz words about "Patriarchal Capitalist Oppressive Systems", but it was just another Soyphisticated word salad.

Yes! And it's funny that the guy that both thinks loud mouths need to shut and that you're a sophist shut up immediately when when asked specifically what. I had a response. Technically I had several.
Hym "But that's why they're there. The are tomato-cans who's sole purpose is to look stupid until it's time for you to engage with an 'expert' at which point your job is to break even for the audience and make it look like you both have really good points and oh boy of geez everything is just so nebulous. No concrete conclusions can be drawn but at least you both had a chance to spit out your talking points. So, yeah. You're a sophist with a fake and manufactured personality you were likely paid or promoted to imitate. Zizek is right. The one purpose your online debate racket serves it to prevent anything from happening. You prop up 2 ideologically possessed 'experts' who's entire career hinges on the validity of their position on a singular topic they dance around the topic for a bit and inevitably break even because IF THEY DON'T... They stop getting invited to debates. Like Matt Dillahunty. Or they don't get invited in the first place. The problem isn't the debate. It's the dishonest and sophistical people engaging in the discussion. Or (in your case) entirely fake. Like, you're pretending to be me actively. Less intelligent. Less attractive. Inferior in every way."

anthro-sophistry

Share definition
- derogatory slang for "anthroposophy," a loosely-anthropology-based psuedo-academic cult formed in the 70's.

- a practice that utilizes archetypal characteristics to exploit an individual's weaknesses; establish that individual as a passive subject rather than a conscious, volitional actor; alienate; subvert and erode an individual's sense of self, particularly in relation to others; engage in character-sabotage; also to pass and/or gather (often very private) information for any variety of reasons, ranging from personal revenge to broad-based politics.
yeah, i steer clear of that prof; he claims to raise consciousness, but he's in deep with anthro-sophistry.
