Scientistic Aristocracy 

Scientistic Aristocracy is a social and political stance where positivism, scientism and new atheism tend to lead into an aristocratic organization of science, education, technology and society. Scientistic aristocracy mainly used to refer to the social organization of a cultural atheist society and of a state atheist society. Scientistic aristocracy is usually culturally centre, centre-leaning and supports scientific centrism and state atheism.
"Scientistic Aristocracy is the social and political organization of the academia and of science nowadays. Scientism and neopositivism always lead into aristocratic organization of society, since the goal of scientism and neopositivism is to make charlatanism tor aristocratic proposes, and anyone with basic knowledge on philosophy of science can realize it."

Scientistic Shillism 

Scientistic Shillism, also refered as Scientific Shillism, is an ideology that unites Scientistic Aristocracy and Scientific Centrism with Shillism, it basically supports that science dissemination on Internet and science disseminators on Internet should be most neo-positivist as possible and use of science for attack religion, spirituality, esoterics, occultism, metaphysics/extraphysics/nonphysics, multiverses and so on calling all of them as "pseudosciences" and often comparing them to pseudosciences like Flat Earth, Climate Denial, Antivax and so on. Scientistic Shillism is often characterized by it's heavy support on material reductionism and by creating strawmen about science as if all scientists were extremely material reductionist, physicalist, neo-positivist, anti-spiritual, anti-religion, anti-esoteric, anti-occultist, anti-metaphysical and as if literally all atheists were material reductionism and that metaphysical beliefs and philosophy were harmful to society and pseudoscientific and only analytical philosophy is the correct one.
"Scientistic Shillism became a really problem nowadays, mainly among scientific community online, it's really hard to search for scientific things online that don't fit on scientistic shillism category. It only shows that how much we need to protect science, and not just that, also protect philosophy, religion, spirituality, esoterics and occultism of scientistic shillists and all of them unite themselves to avoid things like scientific shillism to become a thing."

Scientistic Neopentecostalism

The specific worship of scientism—the ideology that science is the only valid way to understand anything—as a fervent belief system. It applies the language and rituals of science to domains like ethics, art, and spirituality, claiming they are meaningless if not “scientifically proven.” It’s a crusade to forcibly convert all human experience into data.
Scientistic Neopentecostalism Example: An online commentator argues that love is “just a neurochemical cascade for reproduction” and that a poet’s description of heartbreak is “objectively inferior” to an fMRI scan of a sad brain. They evangelize for this reductionist view with religious fervor, treating anyone who values subjective experience as a primitive heathen.

Scientistic Dogmatism

The rigid, uncritical adherence to scientific claims as absolute, immutable truths. It confuses the current scientific consensus (which is provisional and always subject to revision) with revealed dogma. This mindset fossilizes knowledge, stifles curiosity, and attacks new evidence that challenges established paradigms.
Scientistic Dogmatism Example: In 1900, a physicist declaring, “Physics is essentially solved! Newton’s laws are the complete truth, and any talk of ‘quantum’ effects is mystical nonsense.” This dogmatism treats the scientific understanding of the day as the final word, blinding itself to the coming revolution.

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.

Scientistic Purity

The obsessive enforcement of ideological and methodological conformity within scientific communities. It focuses on rooting out “contamination” from non-approved ideas (e.g., philosophy), rival disciplines, or socially “impure” motivations, often through gatekeeping and moral panics about credibility.
Scientistic Purity Example: A grant committee rejecting a cross-disciplinary project blending neuroscience and contemplative traditions because it’s “tainted by spiritualism.” The pursuit of methodological purity (“real science”) overrides potential innovation, protecting the tribe’s borders more than pursuing knowledge.

pod person 

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
