empipebombification

The heavy DIY modification of an item, particularly an electronic device, to the point that one may confuse it for a pipe bomb. Particularly prevalent in hobbyist communities, such as the VR/AR community.
The empipebombification of my personal headset continues, as I have attached a full DAC to my headset to use with off ear headphones I have disassembled and affixed to the side of the headstrap.

emphasista

A 'lady' who is confident and everybody sees it. She can walk into the room and is acknowledged immediately, even when wearing subtle garb. She isn't extra. She is who she is and doesn't need to flaunt or front. She doesn't need the attention, but it WILL be given without warrant.
She emphasista'd in and I blanked.
I examined my being when that emphasista entered

Empirical Sophism

The use of empiricism in bad faith—demanding empirical evidence for things that cannot be empirically accessed, or dismissing non-empirical knowledge as worthless. Empirical Sophism treats "empirical" as a magic word that ends inquiry: if it's not measurable, it's not real. The sophist ignores that empiricism itself is a philosophical position, not a self-evident truth, and that many important domains (ethics, mathematics, experience) resist empirical methods. It's sophistry in a lab coat: using science's prestige to dismiss everything outside science.
"You can't prove consciousness empirically, so it must be illusion. Empirical Sophism: demanding empirical evidence for the very condition of having experience. The demand is absurd, which is the point. Empiricism becomes a weapon against the empirical world's own foundations."

Empirical Contextualism

A philosophical framework holding that empirical knowledge is context-dependent—that what counts as empirical evidence, how data are interpreted, and what conclusions are warranted vary with the context of inquiry, the available methods, and the theoretical frameworks in place. Empirical contextualism challenges the idea of brute, context-free facts. What counts as data in one context may be noise in another; what is considered well-established in one field may be preliminary in another. Contextualism demands that scientists and philosophers attend to the contexts that shape empirical knowledge and recognize that empiricism is always empiricism-in-context.
Example: "His empirical contextualism meant he didn't treat data as simply 'given'—he asked how it was produced, what assumptions went into its collection, and what context made it count as evidence."
