Social Sciences of Anti-Pseudoscience
A meta-field that studies the anti‑pseudoscience movement as a social phenomenon—its history, institutions, strategies, and effects. It examines how the category “pseudoscience” is used to police boundaries between legitimate and illegitimate knowledge, who has the authority to apply the label, and what social interests the label serves. The social sciences of anti‑pseudoscience ask: why do certain beliefs get labeled pseudoscientific while others, equally speculative, escape? How does anti‑pseudoscience activism sometimes become a form of scientism? It critically examines the social dynamics of demarcation, revealing that the fight against “bad science” is also a fight for institutional power.
Social Sciences of Anti-Pseudoscience Example: “His work in the social sciences of anti‑pseudoscience traced how the term ‘pseudoscience’ was historically used to dismiss non‑Western knowledge systems—not because they failed empirical tests, but because they threatened Western epistemic authority.”

abandonware
n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!
