TRP in rigid description is : Rational, ontological, epistemology, specialized in male happiness through sexuality with an in group lexicon\jargon omenclature\terminology, that participates in non-credentialed peer review to practice the scientific method to test a hypothesis which is roughly women's sex lives deviate markedly from widely held conceptualizations and they often act in ways inconsistent with this widely held understanding (understood as a "blue pill view of the world.").

It argues from within a woman's short term mate preferences and constructs a minimax\maximin (minimize loss by forming of a system from the understanding that women will to a significant degree, prioritize short term mate features, to the detriment of long term relationships by maximizing sexual access through attractiveness and amorality).

Definitions

  1. Scientific : Based on or characterized by the methods and principles of science.
  2. Rational : Based on or in accordance with reason or logic.
  3. Ontological : a set of concepts and categories in a subject area or domain that shows their properties and the relations between them.
  4. Epistemology : the theory of knowledge, especially with regard to its methods, validity, and scope. Epistemology is the investigation of what distinguishes justified belief from opinion.
  5. Pseudoscience : A collection of beliefs or practices mistakenly regarded as being based on scientific method
  6. Scientific Method : systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses"
  7. Empirical Evidence : Also known as sensory experience, is the information received by means of the senses, particularly by observation and documentation of patterns and behavior through experimentation
  8. Jargon is a type of language that is used in a particular context and may not be well understood outside that context. The context is usually a particular occupation (that is, a certain trade, profession, or academic field), but any ingroup can have jargon. The main trait that distinguishes jargon from the rest of a language is special vocabulary—including some words specific to it, and often different senses or meanings of words, that outgroups would tend to take in another sense; —therefore misunderstanding that communication attempt. Jargon is thus "the technical terminology or characteristic idiom of a special activity or group".
  9. Peer review : Is the evaluation of work by one or more people of similar competence to the producers of the work (peers). It constitutes a form of self-regulation by qualified members of a profession within the relevant field. Peer review methods are employed to maintain standards of quality, improve performance, and provide credibility.

Alpha\AF is in scientific terminology a man who embodies short term mating preferences for a woman. You can read my AF\BB post about this, pinned in my profile.

Beta\BB is in scientific terminology a man who embodies long term mating preferences for a woman.

The entire hypothesis is subject to the scientific method, which is easily observable, and can even be participated in (since it is no credentials are needed.)

So while skeptics of the system, its practices and discourse could correctly posit "they have loose peer review practices, and have no credentials." They can not claim it is not scientific or pseudoscience.

TRPs discourse goes through these standard scientific steps.

Conjecture is a conclusion or proposition based on incomplete information, for which no proof has been found.

Which over time becomes a hypothesis.

Which eventually with enough evidence becomes a theory.

At this point, it's fairly easy to see if you have the correct lens that TRP's conjecture has made it's way to a well validated hypothesis but as a group we doubt will ever be given the credence of theory.

The "disproofs" offered are merely women practicing standard LTR selection (selecting for BB) and the "unicorns" are covered in my nAWALT post, which I recommend you read if you believe you, or your partner, is a unicorn, and that it explains the rest of this away. As well as men who are being used as useful idiots from women who are unaware of how they will operate when or if they lose attraction.

Lastly, claims to authority, the requirement of credentials etc. are just a way to handwave inconvenient truths, if such things are even understandable to the person reading it.

And so they claim "it's pseudoscientific bullshit."

Yet the only person practicing pseudoscience, is the "skeptic" who is instead just dismissing their cognitive dissonance, by misunderstanding the hypothesis, relying on institutionalized science to tell him the "truth" and disregarding any other scientific endeavor not for science itself, but for his\her ego.

So ultimately, the argument is ego defense through affluenza\elitism because they believe science should be a certain thing.

And frankly, even if you get to that point. Then the person will just shift their skepticism to the science itself. Even if, the science was done in exacting standards in the way they believe it would be fair and proper, they'd just exclaim that we don't yet know the true cause for these results.

So ultimately, the reply that anything "isn't science" or "isn't scientific enough" is bullshit.

Being a skeptic doesn't make you right or TRP wrong. It just makes you a skeptic. Furthermore, the idea that TRP isn't populated with plenty of skeptics is just as laughable.

Or else the anger phase wouldn't exist. Failed unpluggings wouldn't exist.
