The enforcement of a specific scientific worldview—empirical, materialist, quantitative—as the only legitimate framework for any serious discussion, often paired with the dismissal of other ways of knowing as “unscientific” and therefore invalid. Being scientifically correct means demanding that all claims conform to positivist standards (measurement, reproducibility, peer review) regardless of domain, and treating those who work outside those standards as irrational or dangerous. It functions as political correctness by establishing an orthodoxy—here, scientism—and using the authority of “science” to exclude alternative perspectives, all while claiming to be merely objective.
