Sokalism

A cognitive bias, meta-bias, and logical fallacy named after the Sokal Affair, where one dismisses an entire field or area of knowledge as wrong based on the existence of hoaxes, bad scholarship, or fraudulent papers within that field. Sokalism is a form of academic Bulverism: instead of engaging with the actual arguments and evidence of a discipline, you point to a hoax or scandal and declare the entire field invalid. "Postmodernism is worthless because Sokal hoaxed them." "Gender studies is pseudoscience because of hoax papers." The fallacy ignores that every field contains bad work, that hoaxes reveal weaknesses in peer review but not the worthlessness of entire disciplines, and that dismissing a field based on isolated incidents is itself unscientific. Sokalism is the favorite fallacy of culture warriors who want to dismiss entire areas of inquiry without doing the work of understanding them.

Example: "He'd never read a word of postmodern philosophy, but he'd heard about the Sokal hoax. 'Postmodernism is all nonsense,' he declared, committing Sokalism. The existence of one hoax paper proved nothing about an entire tradition of thought. But he didn't need evidence; he had a story. Sokalism had done its work: dismissing a field without engaging it."

Sokal Bias

A form of cognitive bias and meta-bias where you dismiss all criticism, questioning, and opposing positions by labeling them under a single, easily attackable category—typically "postmodernism" or "relativism"—inspired by the Sokal Affair. Sokal Bias is the intellectual equivalent of putting everything you disagree with in a box labeled "nonsense" and refusing to open it. It allows you to maintain your worldview without ever engaging with alternatives, to dismiss complex arguments with a single word, to strawman entire traditions of thought. Sokal Bias is particularly common in online debates, where "postmodernism" has become a catch-all insult for anything the speaker doesn't understand or doesn't like.

Example: "Every time she raised a critique, he called it 'postmodern nonsense.' Sokal Bias had reduced all complexity to a single label, all challenge to a single dismissal. She could have been making the most rigorous argument in the world; it wouldn't matter. The label did all the work."
