Model peddlers are people who hide behind models and theoretical frameworks because they are unable to think for themselves. They argue with you and defend their viewpoint citing academic models. They describe themselves and the world in terms of models like Clifton Strengths, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), DiSC and other models.
Why are they peddlers? Because they are trying to sell you on models to avoid having you discover they can't think for themselves. They are hiding their insecurities, personality deficiencies, and are intellectually disingenuous. Also known as a model whore or model guy.

Get the model peddler mug.The insight that what we observe in science depends critically on the models we use to observe. Our instruments are built on models. Our data analysis assumes models. Our theories are models. We never access reality raw—we access reality filtered through models, and different models reveal different aspects. This isn't idealism (reality exists) but dependency: what we can say about reality is always mediated by the models we've built. Scientific progress is partly about building better models, but also about understanding what each model hides along with what it reveals.
"You think climate models are just predictions? Scientific Model-Dependency says: they're also what makes climate visible at all. Without models, you have weather, not climate. The model isn't just representing reality—it's creating the conditions for you to see it. Respect the dependency."

"You think you know someone through their social media. Epistemological Model-Dependency says: you know the model they present, filtered through the platform's algorithms, shaped by your interpretive framework. That's knowledge—but it's model-dependent knowledge. You don't know them; you know them-as-filtered-through-your-model. Respect the dependency."
