Scientistic Totalitarianism

A totalitarian regime that legitimises itself through the ideology of science, claiming to rule not by force of arms but by the inevitable march of rationality. Opposition is not merely illegal; it is “irrational,” “unscientific,” or “pathological.” Education, media, and even private thought are monitored in the name of “epistemic hygiene.” Scientistic totalitarianism replaces traditional religious or nationalistic dogma with a secular religion of Progress, Efficiency, and Objective Truth—where the Party (or the Expert Council) is the sole interpreter of what counts as scientific. It is 1984 rewritten by tech billionaires.
Example: “The regime didn’t need secret police parades; it used social credit scores ‘scientifically’ calibrated by algorithms. Scientistic totalitarianism: control without ideology—except the ideology that ideology is dead.”

Scientific Consensus Totalitarianism 

Scientific Consensus Totalitarianism, also Scientific Consensus Authoritarianism or Scientific Consensus Dictatorship, is a political and anti-scientistic stance where the scientific consensus, as the way it exists today, is a form of totalitarianism and that seeks to eliminate any other opposite view to it and that also promotes scientism, anti-theism, physicalism and new atheism as well. The Scientific consensus totalitarianism concept was not created as a way to deny the climate change or the shape of Earth, but more as a way to criticize the several attacks scientific community usually do to religion, spirituality, supernaturality, astrality, afterlife, mediumship, extraphysics, multiverses, post-empiricism and all other themes related or derived from those, and it also seeks as a way to alert people and open-minded scientists, thinkers and philosophers to protectt themselves from the scientism, physicalism and anti-theism that are promoted inside science.
"Scientific consensus totalitarianism shows so well how can science be totalitarian and how powerful science is nowadays, that's the why we shall be careful with the promotion of scientism and physicalism inside science and how opened we should be to new ideas and new concepts and how the scientific consensus should be more open-minded and less authoritarian, mainly about spiritual and extraphysical things."

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.

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
