Bi-lite

A slur originating from a discord server.
This is used towards people who say they're bisexual but actually just love women and ''femboys'', this is commonly due to a lack of exposure to regular male interaction and an abundance of porn.
Ultimately this is gynosexuality, the attraction to femininity.

Person 1: God I could really go for some men right now, fuck I'm so hornyyyyyy.
Person 2: Ok here you go *handing them a folder of attractive men of various ''types''*
Person 1: Nono not that kind, I want femboys.
Person 2: Oh, a bi-lite... straight in denial.

(This is an extreme example, most of the time they just have a preference)

Scientific Literalism

The mistaken belief that scientific models, theories, and concepts are literal descriptions of reality rather than useful approximations. The Literalist thinks an electron is "really" a particle, a gene is "really" a discrete unit, a map is "really" the territory. Scientific Literalism forgets that science builds models, not mirrors—useful fictions that help us predict and intervene, not photographs of the noumenal world. It's the error of confusing the menu for the meal, the map for the landscape, the model for reality.

"You're arguing about whether light is 'really' a particle or a wave. Scientific Literalism: it's neither—those are models we use because they work. The map is not the territory. Your literalism is preventing you from understanding what science actually does."

Epistemological Literalism

The naive belief that language can directly capture reality—that words mean what they mean, that concepts correspond to things, that truth is a matter of matching statements to world. Epistemological Literalism ignores the mediated, constructed, interpretive nature of all knowing. It's the epistemology of the confident, the unreflective, the certain. It feels like common sense but is actually a sophisticated philosophical position that most of philosophy has spent centuries dismantling.

"Just tell me the truth, directly, no interpretation." Epistemological Literalism: as if truth came pre-packaged in language, as if words weren't interpretations, as if you could escape meaning-making. There is no direct—only mediated. Grow up."

Scientific Literacy Biases

The collection of biases that arise from having some scientific literacy without sufficient depth, nuance, or contextual understanding—enough knowledge to sound authoritative, not enough to actually evaluate claims properly. Scientific Literacy Biases include: overgeneralizing from one study to universal truth, mistaking introductory textbook knowledge for expertise, treating simplified explanations as complete accounts, assuming one's lay understanding trumps expert consensus, and using scientific-sounding language to lend credibility to unscientific claims. These biases are particularly dangerous because they look like genuine scientific literacy—the person can cite studies, use terminology, reference concepts—but the literacy is just deep enough to be confidently wrong.

Scientific Literacy Biases Example: "He'd read a pop-science book on neuroscience and now thought he could dismiss decades of clinical psychology—classic Scientific Literacy Bias, enough knowledge to be dangerous, not enough to know he was dangerous."
