informicide

When someone communicates in a way that actively reduces the amount of information in existence.

Usually occurs when a person talks for a long time, uses many words, and yet leaves everyone else knowing less than they did before the speaking began.

Unlike misinformation, nothing said has to be wrong; it just erases understanding.

Commonly observed in meetings, presentations, emails, and “quick explanations”.

“Ten slides, thirty minutes, zero clarity. Absolute informicide.”

Informal Laws of Logic

The unwritten, socially negotiated rules that actually govern how arguments play out in the real world, far from the clean rooms of formal logic. These include principles like the Law of Charity (interpret others' arguments in their strongest form), the Law of Relevance (stay on topic, Karen), and the Law of Proportional Response (your counterargument should match the scale of the claim). They're not mathematically provable, but violate them and you'll find yourself talking alone in a room, wondering why no one will engage with your "perfectly logical" points.

Informal Laws of Logic "He kept demanding I prove a negative, then changed the subject every time I got close to a point. Someone get this man a pamphlet on the Informal Laws of Logic—specifically the section on 'How Not to Debate Like a Gremlin.'"

projectile information

Information violently thrust information on someone, usually during instruction, or in the context of a training class. Delivering projectile information is generally the result of instructor poor planning and/or instructor experience.

My instructor wasted so much time in class yesterday that today was basically projectile information.
