A close variant of Low Defense Bias, emphasizing the process of defense reduction. It posits that each encounter with non‑scientific ideas incrementally reduces a person’s resistance to pseudoscience, eventually reaching a threshold where critical thinking collapses. The bias is often used in discussions about public science communication, where advocates treat any engagement with alternative medicine as a step down a slope toward total rejection of evidence‑based medicine. Like its counterpart, it assumes a linear, inevitable progression that research does not support.
Example: “He claimed that using acupuncture for back pain would lower her defenses against homeopathy, then against vaccine denial—Lower Defense Bias assuming a chain reaction that rarely happens in real life.”

Get the lowercase mug.Honestly this place has got some weird characters. You got pedophiles to professional morons. D1 morons. However most people are chill. I feel like this school doesn’t really have bullying with like big kids slamming the nerds up against lockers demanding lunch money. However deep down the worst part about people here is the competition. Competitiveness is just so prominent at Lower Merion. The average PSAT score here is like 80th percentile. It’s crazy. However again we have weird people. If you know someone that goes to LM that lives near Merion Elementary School they want to skin you and your family. Or rape you. Diddle you as we say. One kid almost took off another kids ear at his birthday party with an axe. Insane. Weirdly enough some of the coolest kids are the frisbee- acting kids. It’s one big group and you got actors that can play some damn good Ultimate Frisbee. The rest of the actors however just she sex after rehearsal. Mono is rampant in the acting club. Most teachers are pretty good unless you take Integarted Math 2 in which case tough shit. I survived it and so will you. Everyone won’t shout up about the Eagles or Phillies and nobody ever talks about the Flyers. 76ers are brought up. We hate Radnor so much we have a entire school week dedicated to kicking their ass in sports besides football. The school thankfully is very inclusive which is nice. All and all it’s a good school as long as you keep your head straight.

Get the LOWERCASE mug.The inverse of an upper decker. The act of unbolting and lifting a toilet from the floor and shitting directly into the flange pipe. An upper decker is an annoyance. A lower decker is a deliberate act of sabotage.
