Metaphysical worldview

Statisticians are supposed to represent facts and not impose a hyponym/suboption as the hypernym/generic spectrum of options.

* German: metaphysisches Weltbild, metaphysisches Weltanschauung
* in Italian: cosmovisione metafisica, visione metafisica del mondo, Weltanschauung metafisica, mondovisione metafisica

The hypernym of all metaphysical worldviews is metaphysical worldview[s].

For example atheism doesn't meet the prerequisites for religion; it doesn't include the supernatural; but it is a metaphysical worldview.

The maximal hypernymic/wide/maximally superordinate hypernym "philosophical belief" is too wide to describe specifically the metaphysical worldviews. A hypernym must exactly describe its hyponyms; its should be a close hypernym, because maximally hypernymic/afar hypernyms do not convey specific information. Language is a tool for communication. It is supposed to convey meaning and not consciously avoid it for disparaging reasons (most "mistakes" on the description of social groups are not innocent mistakes; most statisticians falsely/biasedly title their surveys on national metaphysical worldviews: Religion in Sweden, Religion in Ireland but they actually survey all metaphysical worldviews [we aren't supposed to statically boost a social cohort hyponym]; thus the correct survey title is: Metaphysical Worldviews in Sweden, Metaphysical Worldviews in Ireland).

metaphysics: the branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things, including abstract concepts such as being, knowing, identity, time, and space.
[Oxford Languages]

The UK, the US the EU and many organizations, biasedly ascribe hypernymy to "religion" even when they refer to all "metaphysical worldviews". It's only unethical to distort the beliefs of others; it is also a psychological harassment on personal beliefs which is illegal.

I repeat, the term "philosophical belief" is correctly use for generic philosophical beliefs; we should continue using it. But philosophy is a huge field of study. The term "philosophical belief" is maximally hypernymic, and it cannot replace the term "metaphysical worldview", because language is supposed to convey specific meaning and not avoid it, particularly when officially describes social cohorts.

Is it possible to find the absolutely correct hypernym for social cohorts? This is a set theory problem. Imagine each personal label/view/opinion/characteristic being a set, and the hypernym of all these sets being also a set. Some sets are mutually exclusive; and it is very common in sociology (social cohort labeling). For example I am a nonracialist (I love statical genetics, and science in general, but I don't ascribe physical characteristics to social cohort labels; my race is none for deeply philosophical research and not because I reject scientific facts [many nonracialists have antiscientific views, but certainly not all]). Thus "Race Statistics" as a survey title might hurt the feelings of nonracialists (the UK and the US when they record race, they don't allow the option "nonracialist", which is totally different from the term "other [race or reason oppressed by the government]"). The term "metaphysical worldview[s]" is a more inclusive hypernym (hypernyms must be inclusive) than the pseudohypernym "religion" (atheism doesn't include the supernatural; religion is a biased pseudohypernym when used to describe all "metaphysical worldviews"). Still no social cohort hypernym can be perfect (mathematically [if we adhere to mathematical rigour] any social category has some attributes, and sometimes its impossible to create a rigorous hypernym which still isn't maximally hypernymic [and includes unintended notions]). Some people (metaphysically indifferent/nounified: metaphysical indifferent[s]) don't care at about metaphysics, and some people don't even have a worldview ("world view" is the usual UK form). Statisticians and sociologists are supposed to find the best possible hypernym, not the worst biased option (religion) not an impossible one, and not a maximally hypernymic (nounified: distant hypernym [nondescriptive for its purpose]) (the term "philosophical belief" is correct when referring to philosophical belief[s] but a "distant hypernym" when referring specifically to "metaphysical worldviews").

Atheism isn't a nothingness; it is a metaphysical worldview. Atheism isn't a religion because it doesn't include the supernatural. We should use the term "metaphysical worldview[s]" as the hypernym of both atheism and religion. This is important because statisticians use "religion" as the hypernym (superordinate term) of itself and atheism. The term "philosophical belief" is a distant and maximally wide hypernym, because philosophy includes too many topics. The role of a hypernym is to appropriately describe (religion is a biased pseudohypernym).

Also without the usage of the inclusive hypernym "metaphysical worldview[s]" governments will continue to discriminate against atheists by promoting the culture and some of them paying with state money only the supernatural metaphysical worldview[s] of their preference. Without the correct hypernym, atheism is less visible, it cannot be appropriately categorized, and it will continue to be discriminated.

## L'hyperonymisation biaisée de la religion

L'hyperonyme de religion est **cosmovision métaphysique**. La métaphysique est la philosophie sur les premiers principes, et la vision du monde (cosmovision ; « conception du monde » [Le terme Weltanschauung n'est ni le bon français ni le terme générique et neutre.]) est moins analytique sur la nature du monde et plus analytique sur la position de l'individu envers le monde. De nombreux statisticiens hyperonymisent de manière biaisée la religion, qui est un hyponyme métaphysique. Par exemple, l'athéisme ne remplit pas les conditions préalables à la religion car il n'inclut pas le surnaturel.

Dans les statistiques sociales, il est parfois impossible de trouver un hypernyme approprié. Si nous voulons appliquer la rigueur mathématique ( théorie des ensembles ), chaque idée différente doit être traitée comme un ensemble avec de nombreux ingrédients. Certains ensembles sont mutuellement exclusifs ; par exemple, certaines personnes ne se soucient pas du tout de la métaphysique et n'ont pas non plus de vision du monde ( cosmovision ) spécifique. Dans les statistiques sociales, nous devons faire un compromis avec un hyperonyme qui est assez bon. La religion étant un hyponyme n'est en aucun cas un bon compromis, car elle néglige une grande partie de la population. La religion doit être utilisée comme hyperonyme des croyances religieuses. Une autre dyshyperonymisation ( sélection erronée d'un hyperonyme ) est l'utilisation d'un hyperonyme très inclusif, qui inclut des choses que nous n'avons pas l'intention de mentionner. Le terme *croyance philosophique* est très utile en philosophie générale, mais très vague lorsqu'il est utilisé pour décrire des *cosmovisions métaphysiques*.

## Titolo parziale/prevenuto

Il titolo esistente promuove il soprannaturalismo come centro dell'attenzione. Il titolo non è neutro.

La religione non è l'iperonimo di ordine superiore per la visione metafisica del mondo (cosmovisione metafisica).

Non confondere la metafisica con il soprannaturale.
