A framework describing the uncritical acceptance of scientific consensus as beyond question, combined with the dismissal of any scientific inquiry that challenges dominant paradigms as “pseudoscience” or “denialism.” Scienspiracy theory treats science not as a fallible, self-correcting process but as a monolithic source of revealed truth. It discourages genuine scientific skepticism by labeling any questioning of orthodox views as anti-science. Unlike science itself (which thrives on challenge), scienspiracy theory is a faith in the current consensus as final.
Example: “He presented a legitimate methodological critique of a widely cited study; the response was ‘you’re just a science denier.’ Scienspiracy theory: treating scientific consensus as dogma immune to critique.”
