instagram positivity

When someone describes a product or action that in reality is completely useless but somehow they can still find something positive to say about it; an instagram influencer describing literally any product.

Instagram model: “I love it when my boyfriend cums on my face! There’s so much protein in semen and it makes your face so soft. Who needs real face masks!”

Follower: “wow I love her instagram positivity!”

Positivist Moralism

A form of moralism emerging from positivist philosophy—the view that only scientific knowledge is genuine knowledge—where those who rely on other ways of knowing are treated as morally deficient. The positivist moralist insists that science is the only path to truth, and those who walk other paths are not just mistaken but irresponsible, lazy, or irrational. Knowledge gained through tradition, experience, intuition, or revelation is not just different but illegitimate, and those who claim such knowledge are not just wrong but blameworthy. Positivist moralism transforms a philosophical position about the nature of knowledge into a weapon for judging persons, using "unscientific" as a term of moral condemnation rather than descriptive classification.

Example: "He dismissed her grandmother's healing knowledge as 'unscientific'—not just different, but morally suspect. Positivist Moralism: using a theory of knowledge as a tool for character assassination."

Positivist Puritanism

A purity culture within communities committed to positivist views of knowledge—the belief that only scientific knowledge is genuine—where adherence to this principle becomes a test of virtue. Positivist puritanism demands that true members reject all non-scientific knowledge claims absolutely, never acknowledge value in other ways of knowing, never entertain questions that can't be scientifically answered. Members are judged by the purity of their commitment to science as the sole path to truth, and any deviation—any interest in philosophy, any respect for tradition, any acknowledgment of experiential knowledge—becomes grounds for exclusion. The result is a community that claims to value evidence and reason while being utterly closed to evidence about the limitations of science or the value of other approaches.

Example: "He was expelled from the group for suggesting that maybe poetry could tell us something science couldn't—Positivist Puritanism, where any deviation from scientism is heresy."
