Get the Krusty Krab Special mug.A conceptual split, borrowing language from relativity, to categorize ecological thinking. General Ecology deals with the universal laws and principles that apply to all systems—the "theory of everything" for interconnectedness, like thermodynamics or network theory. Special Ecology deals with the specific, unique rules governing particular types of systems—like the ecology of a coral reef versus the ecology of a desert versus the ecology of an online community. General Ecology gives you the grammar; Special Ecology gives you the vocabulary for a specific place. You need both to speak the language of the planet fluently.
General and Special Ecology "General Ecology says every system needs an energy source. Special Ecology says the energy source for this coral reef is the sun, filtered through symbiotic algae, and if the water warms by two degrees, the whole thing dies. General gives you the big picture; Special keeps you from killing the thing you're studying."

Get the General and Special Ecology mug.A fallacy where someone applies standards of privation—demands to account for harm, suffering, or failure—selectively, demanding that one system or idea be judged by its worst outcomes while exempting another system from the same standard. "Religion has caused wars, therefore religion is evil" from someone who ignores wars fought for secular ideologies. "Science has been wrong before, therefore science isn't trustworthy" from someone who trusts science when it confirms their biases. "Your side has bad people" from someone whose side also has bad people, but that doesn't count. Special Privation is hypocrisy in logical form: the harms that matter are the harms your opponents cause; your side's harms are justified, minimal, or irrelevant.
"He spent an hour listing every harm caused by organized religion throughout history. When I mentioned secular atrocities, he said 'That's different—those weren't really about ideology.' That's Fallacy of Special Privation: one standard for them, another for us. The privation is special because it only applies to people we don't like."
