Psycho-Orthodoxy

The established, institutionalized set of beliefs that dominate mainstream psychology—the often-unexamined assumptions about how to study mind, what counts as psychological knowledge, what methods are valid, and what theories are acceptable. Psycho-orthodoxy includes commitments: that quantitative methods are superior, that laboratory experiments reveal psychological truth, that statistical significance matters more than effect size, that Western populations represent humanity, that individual behavior is the right level of analysis, that psychological findings are universal, that replication crises are methodological rather than theoretical. Like all orthodoxies, it provides a framework for psychological research, but it functions as gatekeeping—determining what research is published, what theories are taught, who gets tenure, and what questions are worth asking. Psycho-orthodoxy shapes not just what we know about mind but what we think it's possible to know, making certain approaches feel scientific and others "soft" or "unscientific."
Example: "Her qualitative research on lived experience was rejected as 'not real psychology'—psycho-orthodoxy, where method defines the field rather than questions. The orthodoxy's power is making its preferences feel like standards."

Psychedelosophy

A blend of psychedelic and philosophy — the art of pondering the mysteries of the universe while high as hell. It usually happens during altered states of consciousness brought on by mushrooms, LSD, weed, or just vibing too hard with a lava lamp. Psychedelosophy is the first step to spiritual enlightenment.

Think "What if time isn’t real and the universe is just one big song?" but said while wearing sunglasses indoors at 2am.
After one heroic dose of shrooms, Maya unlocked a new level of psychedelosophy and decided her houseplants were sentient.

We didn’t even light the joint yet and Jason already started his psychedelosophy about how dogs are time travelers.

Dude, your third eye is leaking. Take a break from the psychedelosophy and drink some water.

He said ‘the universe is just one big cosmic rug,’ and I felt that. Deep psychedelosophy, bro.

She can be described as quiet and usually stays to herself. She often listens to Lana Del Rey and wears black, wearing little to no colorful clothing.
