Narrative construction

This (Jordan Peterson's most recent video with the military strategist) is the most blatant example of propagandists narrative construction I have ever seen.
Hym "And the purpose of narrative construction is to convince the audience to believe your delusion. So, let's take a look at the axioms of the narrative Jordan Peterson is trying to construct..."

Dr. JeepJorp "Hamas is using a human sacrifice strategy and making us violate the international rules of war."

Hym "No. It looks like Hamas' strategy was to take hostages and negotiate for rights and prisoners and it looks like the jews have been caught on several occasions lying about Oct 7, their goals, and their methods. They're not making you do anything. People either have to follow the international rules of war or the don't. Unless the rules are unjust in some way there's no reason for the Jews to be given an exemption."

Dr. JeepJorp "The Jews are a successful minority and are therfore a proxy for all successful people."

Hym "No, no one conceptualize the Jews as 'The quintessential successful minority' except for Zionist and their shills (Which is clearly Jordan Peterson). They invented their own morality, are the sole arbiters of when exceptions are allowed, and it's predicated on the blatant lie that they spoke to the creator of the universe. And NOW... They are actively running a propaganda campaign to ACTUALLY take credit for all of the 'good' things in society as though they aren't a delusion, genocidal, incest, slavery cult."

Scientific Constructivism

The position that scientific facts are not simply discovered waiting in nature, but are actively constructed by scientific communities through their practices, instruments, theories, and social negotiations. This doesn't mean facts are arbitrary or "made up"—it means that nature doesn't come pre-packaged into facts; we have to build the packages. A quark is real, but "quark" as a category required accelerators, detectors, mathematics, and conferences to agree on what was seen. Constructivism studies how these packages get built, whose labor builds them, and what gets left out of the final product.
"Before the microscope, 'cells' didn't exist as facts—they were constructed when lens-grinders, biologists, and specimen-stainers created the conditions to see them. Scientific Constructivism just asks us to remember that facts have factories, and the factories matter."

The theory that knowledge is not discovered ready-made in the world but is actively constructed by knowers through their interactions with reality, their communities, and their tools. We don't find facts lying around like rocks—we build them through observation, interpretation, negotiation, and consensus. This doesn't mean knowledge is arbitrary or "made up"—it means that knowledge is made, not found, and understanding how it's made is essential to understanding what it is. Constructivism studies the workshops where facts are built.
"You think scientific facts are just out there waiting to be found? Epistemological Constructivism says: no, they're constructed through instruments, theories, funding decisions, and lab meetings. They're real, but they're also built. Respect the construction workers or you don't understand the building."

jamesian construction

the maladaptive daydreams of an insecure boy, personified by anyone with the name james. this type of person invents stories to make himself seem more interesting to those who surround him, but these know they are fake. the stories fail spectacularly
“james said he was getting it on with another girl. is it true?”
“nah that’s just another jamesian construction

The act of diminishing or destroying the original meaning or purpose of an entity (be it individual, location, building, group, etc) during the act of building it up (building up the image, adding to the building, adding more rules to a group, etc). Not to be confused with hype, which is the building up of expectation.
Guy 1: “Man the club used to be so fun, now its just a drag, what happened?”
Guy 2: “Destruction through construction, id say it happened when that one guy came in and added all those rules.”

The perspective that technologies are not neutral tools with inevitable effects. They are built by people with specific values, assumptions, and worldviews embedded in their design. A social media algorithm isn't just code; it's a constructed technology that embodies theories about human attention, social interaction, and value (e.g., engagement = profit). These embedded constructions then shape user behavior, often reinforcing the very worldviews used to build them.
Example: "The dating app's 'matching algorithm' wasn't magic; it was a Theory of Constructed Technology in action. It was built on a model of human attraction as a checklist of preferences, which then taught users to see themselves and others as checklists. The technology didn't just find love; it constructed a new way of looking for it." Theory of Constructed Technologies

The sociological view that scientific knowledge, while aiming for objectivity, is inevitably a human construction shaped by social factors: funding priorities, institutional power, peer review culture, dominant paradigms, and even the personalities of leading scientists. This doesn't mean science is "just an opinion," but that the path to reliable knowledge is paved with social negotiations, controversies, and the gradual construction of consensus, not the simple revelation of pure nature.
Example: "Studying the Theory of Constructed Science, she saw the Nobel Prize not as a divine award for truth, but as the pinnacle of a construction process: decades of building a persuasive narrative, converting peers, winning grants, and marginalizing rival theories until one framework became the 'obvious' truth etched in textbooks."
