Positivist Moralism

A form of moralism emerging from positivist philosophy—the view that only scientific knowledge is genuine knowledge—where those who rely on other ways of knowing are treated as morally deficient. The positivist moralist insists that science is the only path to truth, and those who walk other paths are not just mistaken but irresponsible, lazy, or irrational. Knowledge gained through tradition, experience, intuition, or revelation is not just different but illegitimate, and those who claim such knowledge are not just wrong but blameworthy. Positivist moralism transforms a philosophical position about the nature of knowledge into a weapon for judging persons, using "unscientific" as a term of moral condemnation rather than descriptive classification.

Example: "He dismissed her grandmother's healing knowledge as 'unscientific'—not just different, but morally suspect. Positivist Moralism: using a theory of knowledge as a tool for character assassination."

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