Ontological warfare

Ontological warfare is a kind of information warfare that engages the enemy with a series of attacks against its 'Being' or ontology.

One such attack is namespace pollution.

Another is a protocol attack known as 'embrace, extend and extinguish'.

Example: A hypothetical attack against the scientific method might attempt to alter its tests for success[?]. This would lead a culture down a slippery slope of pseudoscience until any scientific progress becomes something no human can do.

Example: political correctness. Post-traumatic Stress Disorder is the eventual term for what was originally known as shell shock.

See also: the propaganda machines of the USA and the former USSR, reality enforcement.
