Bulver-Sokal Effect

The union of bulverism and sokalism as a unified cognitive and meta-cognitive bias, where you dismiss an argument by psychoanalyzing the arguer (bulverism) while simultaneously dismissing their entire field based on hoaxes or scandals (sokalism). The Bulver-Sokal Effect is a powerful one-two punch of intellectual dismissal: first, you explain why your opponent believes what they believe (they're postmodernists, they're relativists, they've been brainwashed by their field), and second, you declare their entire field invalid because of hoaxes or bad actors. The combination is nearly impossible to counter because it doesn't engage with arguments at all—it explains them away and dismisses their source simultaneously. The Bulver-Sokal Effect is the signature tactic of culture warriors who prefer dismissal to dialogue.

Example: "She tried to explain her position, grounded in contemporary gender theory. He deployed the Bulver-Sokal Effect: 'You only believe that because you've been indoctrinated by gender studies, and we all know gender studies is a pseudoscience because of that hoax paper.' Her arguments were explained away (bulverism) and her field dismissed (sokalism). There was no room for actual engagement."

I don't buy the schmegegge about Morty sleeping with Moira.

Stroad

Noun. Portmanteau of "street" and "road": it describes a street, er, road, built for high speed, but with multiple access points. Excessive width is a common feature. A common feature in suburbia, especially along commercial strips. Unsafe at any speed, their extreme width and straightness paradoxically induces speeding. Somewhat more neutral than synonymous traffic sewer.

Did you see what the traffic engineers want to do to our street? They're going to turn it into a total stroad!
