Princess Märtha Louise

Princess Märtha Louise of Norway (1971-) is the daughter of the current king and queen of Norway. Fourth in the line to the throne, she is fortunately unlikely to ever inherit the kingdom. As an avid proponent of holistic medicine and all things woo, she believes she can communicate with both animals and personal fairies angels.
==God save the Woo==
She is among the world's most famous proponents of angel therapy, and has established her own 'angel school'Soulspring (formerly Astarte), her "school" where students are taught, for a nice price, how to get in touch with their own angels. She has also worked with Lisa Williams, communicating with the dead.The Local: "Norway's Princess of the Paranormal under fire"
Unlike Snåsamannen, another notable Norwegian woo-meister, she has received much criticism and ridicule nationally - and some interest internationally. The most notable critic is perhaps the state church,The King is the official head of the . as it does not condone belief in spiritualism or the paranormal. Many critics also claim she uses her inherited fame, her royal title, to make a quick buck, even though she doesn't really make that much money from the business.NOK 631,000 (~$71,000) per 2014 VG.no: "Salgsrekord for engleskolen" (Norwegian)

Principalities and powers

"Principalities and powers" are a commonly used biblical descriptor for demonic forces that are infesting the physical plane. The phrase originates from the book of Ephesians in the King James Bible (KJV). 
''
This is taken by certain Christian sects (especially King James only sects) to mean that they are in a literal struggle against a group of actual evil spirits who compose the Principalities and Powers.
Principalities can also be defined as a political territory under the jurisdiction of a prince. Therefore some interpret the verses to mean that the world is actually controlled by a cadre of demon princes, each of whom controls a certain region or people.http://www.battleinchrist.com/principalities_powers_world_rulers_of_darkness_spiritual_wickedness_in_spiritual_warfare.htm
The Principalities and Powers are also the 7th and 6th rankings of angels, respectively, just to make things more confusing (since some believe all demons are fallen angels, one might guess that the ones referred to derive from these rankings).
==The inevitable implication==
This verse is a lynchpin in the mindset of many hardcore Christians who are also conspiracy theorists. The idea that the world is run by powerful people, secret organizations, or aliens pales in comparison to the concept of a world directly ruled by demons who are both all powerful and literally invisible. It also has a nice military flavor to it, with the whole "armor of God" thing going on. It makes people feel like they're war heroes, except instead of dodging bullets, fighting for their lives, and surviving in hostile terrain, they fight by believing and praying and their enemies are invisible. 
It's a universally applicable ad hominem attack that can be applied to any government personality, branch, or action. Even Glenn Beck has claimed that his opponents were principalities and powers while he was still pushing his badly researched Boston Marathon bombing theories.http://www.examiner.com/article/glenn-beck-vs-satan

Prioritarianism

Prioritarianism, also known as "priority view" is a modern variant of the Utilitarian school of thought which represents the most popular attempt to reconcile results-based consequential ethics with equality. Prioritarian ethics improves on Hedonic Calculus by synthesizing utility with priority, judging an action first and foremost by its effect on the well-being of the worst-off rather than all people equally. Some of its chief proponents include Derek Parfit and Harry Frankfurt,Prioritarian Welfare Functions - An Elaboration and Justification Christoph Lumer (author of On Bullshit).
== Basic concept ==
Prioritarian ethics gives more moral weight, or "priority," to the benefit of the needy, so what one deserves is inversely proportional to what one already has, addressing the problem that measuring welfare alone can lead to great disparity. Prioritarian beliefs are often summed up as follows: "Benefiting people matters more the worse off these people are." In this way, Prioritarians are rather unique among consequentialists: they believe in two, rather than one, sources of intrinsic good: utility (pleasure/flourishing) and priority (equality).
Prioritarians are distinguished from other related schools of thought by the way they handle inequality. Imagine three scenarios involving a majority and a minority: in the first, the majority is modestly well off and the minority is just a bit better off; in the second, both are equally poor; in the third, the majority is extremely well off and the minority is much worse off. A prioritarian would prefer the first scenario, which is intuitively the best, while a strict egalitarian would choose the second because of the equality and a utilitarian might choose the third because the majority and minority combined would have a greater total. Prioritarianism is very appealing because its conclusions almost always "feel" right but do not rely on faith, duty, or intuition.Consequentialism
==Applications and criticism==
Prioritarianism is especially appealing to socialists and progressives because of its redistributive and egalitarian nature. As a secular ethical system, it is also sometimes associated with Secular humanism and atheism. One might say that prioritarianism is the philosophical/ethical equivalent of social democracy in the way that Ethical egoism is the equivalent of Objectivism.
Prioritarianism is criticized for some of the same problems of utilitarianism, most importantly the practical difficulty in determining what outcome an action will produce. It is also unable to explain exactly how much more weight to give benefit to the less well off. Although it is the most popularOther Goods To Be Promoted variant of consequentialism, it is nonetheless one of the least well known and thus only occasionally comes under the usual attack from crazed proponents of Divine command theory. It is not very popular among the religious because it presents an alternative to God-based morality.

Priory of Sion

The main point of the most popular version of the Priory of Sion conspiracy theory dating from the 1980s (and having no relation to the original group founded in 1956) is that Jesus Christ married Mary Magdalene, and that they had children and moved to France. Their descendants became French kings, while the Catholic Church sought to suppress the information. Various bodies, groups and persons throughout history were possessors of this secret knowledge - which was never leaked to outsiders, despite the amount of paperwork that would be needed to keep track of who the heirs were and the likelihood of people gossiping or letting slip information on the subject. These include the Cathars, Leonardo da Vinci (when not inventing flying machines), Father Bérenger Saunière (of Rennes-le-Château, to whom the Vatican was allegedly prepared to pay blackmail monies, rather than have sent to the local institution for the heretically delusional), and the Priory of Sion.
==Revelation==
The truth of the tale was, seemingly, revealed in Holy Blood, Holy Grail/The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail. Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code also tells the story in a fictional form.
==History==
The Priory of Sion was founded in 1956 by Pierre Plantard, in order to claim that Plantard was of Merovingian descent, as well as a grand monarch from one of the prophecies of Nostradamus. Unfortunately, some people took the man's claims seriously, and started believing the made-up history Plantard spouted.
==Rennes-le-Château==
Rennes-le-Château is a castle village in the Aude département in Languedoc, France, and is the centre of various conspiracy theories.
It is claimed that Father Bérenger Saunière, a 19th century priest, who had undertaken an extensive restoration project on the local church, had financed his activities through blackmailing the Vatican after finding information on the bloodline of Christ. Links were also made to the Knights Templar, Priory of Sion and various other subjects of conspiracy and creative history.
==Marketing pitch==
It appears that the story was a marketing pitch by a local hotelier, Noël Corbu, in the 1950s, further developed by Pierre Plantard and subsequently others, and the actual source of Saunière's money was the selling of masses (at an inappropriate level).

Prisoner of conscience

A prisoner of conscience is someone who is being held prisoner for their political/religious beliefs and/or their advocacy thereof. As originally defined, that person had to be arrested and held for the non-violent expression of their beliefs, or for reasons of a protected status (race, religion, sex, orientation, or language.) The very term was created by Amnesty International; when used by AI, and in most uses around the world, this is a significant human rights violation.
To a certain extent, however, it has become a loaded word, because it implies that the person is being held unjustly for the sole reason that they hold certain beliefs. However, there have been cases of people who have espoused violence against other groups (or even engaged in it) who have then been arrested as a danger to the public. While technically they do not qualify for "prisoner of conscience" status (as defined by AI), many claim it anyway. This is similar to how homophobic preachers scream "religious discrimination" when others push for civil rights for homosexuals. Many violent racists try to claim this status when they are put away for plotting violence.

Prius rebound effect

The Prius rebound effect, called the Prius fallacy by its detractors, is an assertion that savings accrued by owners and drivers of hybrid or electric automobiles are lost by increased energy consumption through increased driving or by other high-carbon purchases, thus negating any benefits of purchasing a Japanese car fit with regenerative braking.
==Origin==
The term was coined by David Owen, an author for The New Yorker, in his book Conundrum,The book on Google booksA somewhat centrist book reviewA more liberal book review which details the Red Queen's race between advancements in energy efficiency and increasing energy consumption. It fairly is a moderate piece, despite the fact that the Wall Street Journal lapped up every word because it decried attempts to kickstart renewable energy development and the abandoning of fossil fuels (since they ain't all been used up yet!) as expensive and premature.
==Criticism==
Unsurprisingly, scientists and statisticians greeted Owen's assertions (on just the Prius rebound effect) with skepticism. One analysis, later republished in Scientific American, thoroughly debunked the Prius rebound effect through examination of the actual driving habits of hybrid and non-hybrid drivers.
"Non-Conundrum of the Prius Fallacy", CO2 Scorecard.
The results showed that Prius drivers were not more likely to drive farther because of their increased gas mileage and that Owen (or anyone else for that matter) did not have any way of showing that Prius drivers took their savings and spent them on higher-carbon purchases, the conceivably worst of which would entail having a charcoal-grilled steak dinner every evening of the week.

Pro-family

Pro-family is a code word coined by the religious right. It is a subset of family values and is used by politicians wanting to earn points with the families that they are supposedly for.
==Interpretation==
What they really mean by this is pro-one particular configuration of the family. It is quite best summed up by the words of Dan Quayle:
Homosexuals, feminists, divorcees, widowed parents, confirmed bachelors, hippy communes, and uppity punk kids disrespecting their elders need not apply, apparently.
It is also interesting how the same people who claims to campaign for family value are awkwardly silent (or even supportive of) the separation of family occurring at the US border.https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/KIND%20-%20Betraying%20Family%20Values.pdf Family for me and not for thee would be a better description, one can presume.
==Other uses==
This concept is also used, for example, in religious right claims that the "family" is the fundamental unit of society. This can even be found in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which has almost global coverage, where it says that "The widest possible protection and assistance should be accorded to the family, which is the natural and fundamental group unit of society".Text of the ICESCR, Article 10(1). Wisely, the Covenant does not say what constitutes a family. This is in opposition to other ideas that perhaps the individual is the fundamental unit and that larger groupings also have a key impact. For example, Hillary Clinton's book It Takes a Village, which focused on individuals outside the family and their effects on how a child is brought up, was met with ire from the religious right. Shortly after the book was released Bob Dole publicly disagreed, stating that "it takes a family to raise a child" and in 2005 Rick Santorum countered the argument with the book It Takes a Family.

Probiotics

Probiotics are supplements containing bacteria. Research has found probiotics good for certain conditions (such as antibiotic-induced diarrhea),Probiotics, Mark Crislip, Science-Based Medicine. but woo-meisters frequently make extravagant and unsubstantiated claims about probiotics' ability to "boost the immune system" and "replenish the gut flora" and the like. A 2018 study concluded that probiotics were largely useless.https://www.bbc.com/news/health-45434753
Since probiotics, like many other nutritional supplements, are practically unregulated, the actual contents of the pills can differ substantially from what's on the label. One study has shown that probiotics often contain bacteria not listed on the label and do not contain species that are listed on the label.
Rapid determination of the bacterial composition of commercial probiotic products by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2008 May;46(5):608-11. doi: 10.1097/MPG.0b013e3181660694.
== Prebiotics ==
Prebiotics are nutrients selectively used by beneficial microbes that occur naturally in the gut, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria. Unlike probiotics, prebiotics do not need to contain live bacteria, making them easier to store and formulate. Instead, they are usually "fermentable fibers", i.e. particular oligosaccharides or polysaccharides, which are indigestible to humans, but digestible to these bacteria. Natural sources include for example onion, wheat, barley and asparagus.https://www.prebiotin.com/foods-containing-prebiotics/ However, they may be also added to foods. While there is some promising preliminary research on their effectiveness for some conditions, hold your horses: clinical evidence is still scarce and derived from a small number of patients. This applies to inflammatory bowel disease,Hedin, 2007. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0029665107005563 prevention of colon cancer,Geier, 2006. https://doi.org/10.4161/cbt.5.10.3296 reduction of infections in infants,Lohner, 2014. https://academic.oup.com/nutritionreviews/article-abstract/72/8/523/2749229?redirectedFrom=fulltextLomax, 2009. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0007114508055608 and hypertension.Yeo, 2009. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms10083517 Results for irritable bowel syndrome and prevention of infections in adults are unconvincing, and prebiotics have no effect on blood glucose levels in diabetics or on cholesterol. Nevertheless, while there is some science behind this, adding prebiotics to food products and selling them as "health foods" would be very easy and cheap, and would make a good business.

Professor of nothing

A professor of nothing is a fallacy that occurs when a source is introduced as a "Professor" or "Doctor" or similar (and thus authoritative), yet either they are not a professor or doctor or their field of expertise is not the topic at hand.
The fallacy is an argument from authority and thus a conditional fallacy.
==Form==
==Examples==
The vast majority of the "positive" reviews of Michael Cremo's Forbidden Archeology: The Hidden History of the Human Race are introduced as "Dr."Reviews/Comments yet are not qualified to speak authoritatively on archaeology.
Young Earth creationist Ian Juby has also occasionally been introduced as "Professor Juby", at least by Carl Baugh,See for instance Potholer54's YT video nominating Juby for the 2011 Golden Crocoduck. Calling Juby "Professor" might be a mistake by Baugh who is such an awfully incompetent apologist/creationist that Ken Ham(!) has warned his followers not to rely on Baugh's BS. However, Juby didn't actually correct Baugh. despite not having any semblance of qualification in paleontology (or any other scientific field).
Even worse, it is common in some countries for those with merely honorary degrees to refer to themselves as "Dr," often for pure clout. https://newsday.co.tt/2022/11/19/stop-abusing-the-title-doctor/ 
==Problems==
Simply put, if someone's not an expert in a field, they can't be cited as one.
Every time an "expert" is touted with a title but without their area of expertise, be wary. If the quoter cannot provide the field in question, the source's authority can also be questioned.

Progressive creation

Progressive creation is a form of old earth creationism proposed as an attempt to find a middle ground between scientific fact and Biblical creationism. It holds that the world is billions of years old, and that the universe began with the Big Bang, but that the entire process was controlled by a God, who had a direct and active role in the whole affair. This is different from theistic evolution because in progressive creation the God explicitly creates many of the new forms, rather than allowing them to develop through evolution. In particular, in progressive creation, God came down and took two hominids and literally breathed a soul into them, to create Adam and Eve.
==Creationist backlash==
Young Earth creationists (YECs) have been treating this as a Trojan Horse of evolution and just about the worst assault on Christianity since Darwin. Most of the criticism comes from a theological rather than a scientific perspective. One interpretation of the "Fall of Man" is that it introduced spiritual death into the world, as distinct from physical death, but YECs do not make this distinction, claiming instead that there was no physical death before the Fall (which leaves them in a bit of a tricky position when it comes to creatures like venomous snakes).
Progressive creationists maintain that there was physical death prior to the Fall, which to YECs is tantamount to believing that death and suffering are not explicitly the fault of humanity, hence that the mission of Jesus to redeem the world is unnecessary. As they find this unacceptable, they condemn progressive creationism.
YECs also claim that progressive creation contradicts "science," but rarely bother to explain that part (presumably they're referring to creation "science"). Instead, they just castigate progressive creationists for wanting to fit in with the "world", using that particular fundamentalist definition of the word that means "all that is evil and wicked" and disagrees with them.
