A particularly aggressive form of scientific sophism that insists only science can produce knowledge, dismissing all other ways of knowing as worthless. Scientistic Sophism uses the prestige of science to police the boundaries of legitimate inquiry, excluding philosophy, art, experience, and tradition from the realm of knowledge. It's sophistry dressed as rigor: "not scientific" becomes a magic phrase that makes any non-scientific claim disappear, regardless of its validity or value.
"Philosophy is useless, art is decoration, experience is anecdote—only science matters. That's Scientistic Sophism: using science as a cudgel against every other way of knowing. The irony is that this claim isn't scientific; it's philosophical. Scientism eats its own tail and calls it progress."
