Jester's Privilege

The ability to basically say whatever you want without repercussions, such as insult the king. A jester would have legal protection and permission to make such jeers, as his purpose was simply to entertain and was often not taken seriously, but despite this, often was one of the more important members of the King's Court, and was given high status.

"He just insulted the king! He should be punished"
"Its fine, he's a jester. He has Jester's Privilege"

Law of Logical Privilege

The principle that certain logical systems, methods, or positions are granted unearned authority—privileged not because they're superior but because they're associated with dominant institutions, cultures, or power structures. The Law of Logical Privilege argues that logic is not neutral: some ways of reasoning are privileged, others marginalized. Western formal logic is taught as "logic" while other logical traditions are ignored; scientific reasoning is treated as "rational" while indigenous knowledge is dismissed. The law doesn't say privileged logic is wrong; it says we should examine why it's privileged, who benefits, and what's excluded.

Example: "He'd always assumed that the logic he learned in school was just logic—the only way to reason properly. The Law of Logical Privilege showed him otherwise: this logic was privileged because it came from the dominant culture, because it served dominant institutions, because it was taught in dominant schools. Other logics existed, but they were marginalized. He started asking why his logic was on top."

Law of Scientific Privilege

The principle that certain scientific methods, institutions, and knowledge systems are granted unearned authority—privileged not because they're inherently superior but because they're associated with dominant power structures. The Law of Scientific Privilege argues that science is not neutral: Western science is privileged over indigenous knowledge, quantitative methods over qualitative, funded research over community inquiry. This privilege shapes what counts as knowledge, who gets to produce it, and who benefits. The law doesn't say privileged science is wrong; it says we should examine why it's privileged, what interests it serves, and what's excluded.

Example: "She'd been taught that science was simply the best way to know things. The Law of Scientific Privilege showed her otherwise: this science was privileged because it came from wealthy nations, because it served corporate interests, because it was backed by state power. Other ways of knowing existed, but they were marginalized. She started asking who benefited from her science's dominance."

Theory of Logical Privilege

The systematic elaboration of logical privilege as a framework for understanding the politics of reasoning. The Theory of Logical Privilege argues that logic is not a neutral tool but a field of power—that some logical systems are privileged, others marginalized, and that this privilege reflects social hierarchies, not cognitive superiority. It traces how Western logic became dominant, how it was used to justify colonialism and exclusion, how other logical traditions were suppressed. It doesn't reject Western logic; it calls for examining its privilege and opening space for other logics. The Theory of Logical Privilege is the foundation of logical decolonization.

Example: "He'd thought logic was above politics—pure reason, universal truth. The Theory of Logical Privilege showed him otherwise: logic had a history, a politics, a relationship to power. Western logic wasn't logic; it was a logic—privileged because of colonialism, not because it was better. He started learning other logics, other ways of reasoning, other tools for thought."
