Theory of Scientific Privilege

The recognition that science, for all its power and validity, occupies a privileged position among ways of knowing that isn't purely meritocratic. Scientific methods produce certain kinds of truth brilliantly, but the privileging of science—the assumption that scientific answers are always the best answers to every question—is a social phenomenon, not a scientific one. This theory examines how scientific privilege shapes policy, marginalizes other knowledge systems, and sometimes overreaches into domains where science has no special authority. It's not anti-science; it's pro-humility.

Theory of Scientific Privilege "Science can tell you the chemistry of this plant, but it can't tell you whether it's sacred. When you act like the chemical answer is the real answer, you're not being scientific—you're exercising Scientific Privilege."

Theory of Logical Privilege

The critical insight that formal logic itself carries cultural and historical baggage—that what counts as "logical" is shaped by who got to define logic in the first place. Western formal logic, with its excluded middle and its linear deductions, isn't the only possible logic system. Indigenous logics, Eastern logics, feminist logics—these aren't illogical; they're differently logical. The Theory of Logical Privilege argues that elevating one logical system as universal and objective is itself a power move, not a discovery about the nature of thought.

"He keeps saying my argument isn't logical because it doesn't follow his syllogisms. But I'm using relational logic, which values context over categories. Your Theory of Logical Privilege is showing—you think your logic is the only logic."

Vagina privilege

This is what you would call a woman, generally in some sort of authority or higher profession, will use "vagina privilege" to make it look like she knows what she's actually talking about. The idea is that no one will fight her on her opinion or judging because she's a woman and she has "vagina privilege"

A young congresswoman who had no experience in politics, decided to join a group of Congress people in a radical fight against climate change. When it came her turn to ask the witnesses that they were talking to, she had to hold up a piece of paper and could barely read some of the words that was on the piece of paper because they were very technical. She thought that nobody would notice that she was using her "Vagina Privilege" being so inexperienced
