Nobel Savage Fallacy

Nobel Savage Fallacy (not to be confused with the Noble Savage Myth) is an error in reasoning by which incidental commonalities between modern scientific theory/technology and ancient cultural expressions are claimed to support a conclusion that the ancients must have had access to modern knowledge.

The fallacy is usually committed by those with an at best shallow understanding of either modern science, ancient cultures, or - frequently - both.

It is commonly committed by those seeking to bolster the foundations of their modern cultural hegemony by arguing that the purported central tenets of its ancient precursors were rationally developed, and any deviations from those traditional norms are movement away from the ostensibly scientific ideal.

It is also frequently deployed by charlatans attempting to sell products or services derived from ancient techniques, who wish to gain a veneer of scientific plausibility for their offerings - that they in no way deserve.

"No, dude, those symbols do not mean they had spaceships, even if they look a little bit like that rocket Bezos made - mistaking what is obviously a poorly-drawn penis for a spacecraft is just the Nobel Savage Fallacy!"

"Babe, Gwenyth can say whatever she likes - but stuffing that crystal up your coochie is not gonna cure anything, even if the Biddelonians have been doing it for centuries... yes, I've heard of phototherapy, but that crystal isn't gonna refract any light up there, it's just another Nobel Savage Fallacy!"

Nobel Pieces Prize

The Nobel Pieces Prize is the opposite of the Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to those who have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congress.

To the contrary, The Nobel Pieces Prize is awarded to those who have done the most or the best work for turning nation against nation, for the abolition or reduction of human and animal life as well as the infrastructure that once supported said life, for increasing standing armies and the weaponry that they use to blow everything to pieces and for the holding and promotion of war congress.

Dude 1: “Obama is so awesome. He’s totally proven that he deserves that Nobel Peace Prize that was awarded to him. He really wants to help people in the Middle East.”

Dude 2: “Really? If by 'help' you mean blowing Middle Eastern people to bits with an ongoing illegal US drone campaign. Then oh yeah! Jeez man. The only prize Obama has proven that he deserve the Nobel Pieces Prize.”
