Theory of Recursivity and Generativity of Biases and Similar Issues

The idea that biases, logical fallacies, and similar cognitive and rhetorical distortions can be generated recursively and generatively from virtually any starting point. Because humans are pattern‑seeking, self‑justifying, and social, we can construct accusations of bias against any claim, and those accusations themselves can be accused of bias, ad infinitum. The theory explains why online debates often spiral into endless meta‑discussion about who is committing which fallacy, and why attempts to purge “bias” from discourse tend to produce new biases rather than eliminate them.
Theory of Recursivity and Generativity of Biases and Similar Issues Example: “He accused her of confirmation bias; she accused him of fallacy fallacy; he accused her of bias imputation. Theory of recursivity and generativity: once you start calling out bias, you can generate infinite layers.”

Theory of Logical Recursivity and Generativity

The idea that it is possible to construct formal logical, rational, philosophical, and scientific structures from practically any starting assumptions—given enough ingenuity and a willingness to accept the resulting systems. There is no single “correct” foundation; rather, the space of possible logical systems is vast and generative. The theory challenges foundationalist projects that seek a unique, self‑evident starting point for reason, showing instead that reason can be productively plural. It explains why alternative logics (paraconsistent, intuitionistic, etc.) coexist and why different philosophical systems can be internally consistent yet mutually incompatible.
Theory of Logical Recursivity and Generativity Example: “He insisted that only classical logic was rational; she invoked the theory of logical recursivity and generativity to show that intuitionistic logic was also rational—just starting from different axioms.”

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
