Social Sciences of Reason and Rationality

The study of how rationality is socially organized, institutionalized, and contested. It draws on sociology, political science, and economics to analyze how organizations define what counts as rational behavior, how professions (like law, medicine, management) instill their own rationalities, and how social structures can systematically produce irrational outcomes. It also examines how appeals to “rationality” are used to legitimize policies and exclude alternative viewpoints.

Social Sciences of Reason and Rationality Example: “Social sciences of rationality research traced how the concept of ‘rational choice’ in economics was translated into public policy, redefining citizens as self‑maximizing individuals and thereby dismantling social welfare institutions.”

Theory of Rational Social Control

Closely related to logical control, this focuses on the application of "rationality" as a governing principle for social organization and individual behavior. It examines systems (like bureaucracies or economic models) that claim to optimize human activity based on cost-benefit analysis and instrumental reason, often at the expense of human values, ethics, and spontaneity. Control is achieved by making everything subject to a cold calculus of efficiency.

Theory of Rational Social Control Example: A university replaces small, discussion-based humanities seminars with massive, standardized online lectures graded by AI. Administrators justify this as the "rational" choice—it's scalable and cost-effective. This rational social control prioritizes metric-based efficiency over the unquantifiable educational value of personal mentorship and dynamic debate, reshaping the institution's human purpose to fit a sterile, calculable model.

Socialpath 

The modern definition of a Social Media-addicted, narcissistic, self-centered, egotistical, sociopathic dummy who has stopped caring about anyone else but themselves ever since they got five online accounts and figured out how to airbrush.

Mindless WiFi sheep whose brains have been disillusioned into thinking they are now the singular most important thing on earth.

Armchair activists who pick fights on social media without any knowledge of subject matter, who also possess questionable key-tapping abilities, carpal tunnel and a bent neck.

“She’s a total Socialpath... just look at all the selfies she posts. No photos of her husband or kids anymore, just her in a tiny bikini winking at the camera for somebody else.”
