evol

a synonym for queer. and xlov's fandom name. lgbtq community alternate title. an identifier xlov's community can use to encapsulate what being evol is for people who question our identity and our appearance but who aren’t safe to say queer to.

EVOO

Extra virgin olive oil. Because simple virgin olive oil is apparently not good enough (not to mention slutty olive oil).

I've had the biggest nightmare yesterday, I've run out of EVOO!

Ecological Posthumanism

A close cousin to environmental posthumanism, ecological posthumanism emphasizes the interconnections between all living beings and their environments, viewing humans as one node in vast ecological networks. It draws on ecology's insights about systems, relationships, and emergence to rethink what it means to be human. Ecological posthumanism argues that our identity, our health, our future are inseparable from the health of the ecosystems we inhabit. It's the philosophy of interdependence, of the recognition that no being exists alone—that we are all, always, in relation.

Example: "He thought he was an individual, separate and self-contained. Ecological posthumanism showed him otherwise: he was a walking ecosystem, a node in food webs, a participant in nutrient cycles. His 'self' extended into the soil, the air, the trees. He wasn't less individual; he was more connected. The philosophy made him feel like he belonged to the world, not just in it."

Ecological Cyber-Nihilism

A variant that applies cyber-nihilist logic directly to ecosystems, arguing that the fusion of technology and the natural world will produce a new, inhuman ecology that is fundamentally hostile to hierarchical life. Drawing on cyber-nihilism's recognition that "Nature is neither static nor kind," ecological cyber-nihilism welcomes the transformation of the biosphere through technological contamination—genetic engineering, synthetic biology, networked environmental manipulation—as a force that will destroy the conditions for civilization and perhaps all complex life. It rejects the primitivist desire to "save Nature" as a romantic fantasy; the Nature to be saved was always a human construct. Instead, it embraces the emergence of a post-natural, post-human ecology that no system of control could survive. This variant finds grim poetry in events like the "death" of the Great Barrier Reef, seeing them not as tragedies but as milestones in the planet's transition to an inhuman state.

Example: "Watching the forests burn, he felt not despair but a cold clarity. Ecological cyber-nihilism had prepared him: this wasn't destruction; it was transformation. The bio-mechanical landscape rising from the ashes would be as alien to human hierarchy as the burning was. He wasn't mourning; he was watching the birth of something that would have no use for him—and that was the point."

Ecology of Science

A metascientific framework that studies science as an ecological system—a complex, interdependent network of organisms (scientists), populations (disciplines), communities (fields), and environments (institutions, funding landscapes, social contexts). The ecology of science examines how scientific niches emerge and evolve, how resources (funding, attention, prestige) flow through the system, how competition and cooperation shape research agendas, how species (theories, methods, paradigms) adapt or go extinct, and how disturbances (discoveries, scandals, funding shifts) ripple through the ecosystem. It reveals that scientific change is not just rational progress but ecological succession—driven by interactions between organisms and their environments, by adaptation and selection, by the same dynamics that shape any living system. The ecology of science treats laboratories as habitats, journals as ecosystems, and scientific communities as biomes, each with its own internal dynamics and relationships to the larger environment.

Example: "Her ecology of science analysis showed how the rise of molecular biology created a new niche that drew resources away from traditional organismal biology—not because molecular biology was better, but because it occupied a new ecological space that flourished in the changing funding environment."

Evolirism

A modern belief system by Ray j it is combining Deism, Spiritual Humanism, and Transhumanism. Evolirists believe a higher power created the universe but doesn’t interfere, and that humanity’s purpose is to grow, unlock the universe’s secrets, and evolve through knowledge, inner light, and advanced technology.

"I don’t follow any religion — I believe in Evolirism. I’d rather evolve, explore the cosmos, and unlock truth through science and inner light than follow ancient dogma".

Evolutionary Empathy

The biological principle of commutative support across life forms, where organisms help, protect, or share resources with others to increase collective survival and evolution.

Trees use Evolutionary Empathy by sending nutrients through their root networks to support struggling neighbors.
