A type of resentment for out of area/newbie surfers felt by "natives" of the area. May also be called Native-ism.
I went to go surf a ::insert beach that is not in your area:: but i was threatened and shunned becuase there's such high localism.

Scientistic Logicalism

The belief that the combined authority of Science™ and Logic™ forms a transcendent, perfect system that exists above and should govern the flawed physical world. It assumes that if something is scientifically described and logically consistent, it must be morally right and practically imperative, dismissing material constraints and human costs as irrelevant.
Scientistic Logicalism Example: A technocrat arguing for mandatory genetic screening and selection for “optimal” traits because “the science of genetics and the logic of maximizing health outcomes are irrefutable.” They see ethical objections about eugenics as sentimental noise interfering with a pristine, hyperreal plan.

Scientific Logicalism

The narrower application of formal logic as the supreme framework for validating all scientific inquiry. It holds that any scientific claim must be reducible to a syllogistic argument, and that empirical data is subordinate to logical proof. It fails where science often succeeds: through abductive reasoning and iterative grappling with messy evidence.
Scientific Logicalism Example: A researcher rejects a groundbreaking clinical trial result showing a drug works because “the mechanism of action isn’t logically deducible from our current biochemical models. The data must be flawed.” They privilege the internal consistency of their logical model over empirical, observed reality.
