Sokalification

Named after physicist Alan Sokal’s famous hoax (1996), in which he submitted a deliberately nonsensical paper to a humanities journal to expose what he saw as intellectual laxity. Sokalification is the act of using a single hoax or isolated case of fraud to dismiss an entire field, discipline, or mode of inquiry. For example, citing the Sokal hoax to claim that all social constructivism, postmodernism, or qualitative research is “nonsense.” Sokalification is a form of hasty generalization: one fake paper “proves” that an entire field is worthless. Critics argue it is an anti‑intellectual shortcut that avoids engaging with actual arguments.

Sokalification Example: “He Sokalified the entire sociology department by saying ‘remember Sokal? Your whole field is a joke.’ He had never read a single book on social theory, but the hoax was enough for him.”

Soulification 

To justify ones soul purpose, the feeling of knowing what your purpose is and then being able to have it justified with tangible proof.

My purpose in life is to write music and now I have soulification because I finally have an album out.

somalification 

Abandonment and deterioration of once thriving cities and civilizations, as warlords, drug lords and warring factions tear them apart. The definition is based on the example of modern Somalia as an impoverished, refugee-abandoned African nation without a working government and ruled by anarchy.

A description of the process destroying San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Baltimore and other major blue-run cities in the US.

Person 1: Did you see the San Fran "Poop" app, this morning? Yeah, The whole Tenderloin district is shaded brown!

Person 2: The Somalification of Bagdad by the Bay; predictable. such a sad fate for a once beautiful city.
