(48,165 posts)"Emoto-sophist" " likely refers to someone who uses Masaru Emoto's ideas about water and consciousness in a way that is misleading, deceptive, or poorly reasoned. Masaru Emoto was a Japanese businessman, author, and scientist who claimed that water could be affected by human consciousness, thoughts, and words. He claimed that positive words and thoughts created visually pleasing ice crystals, while negative thoughts created ugly ones.
Some people have criticized Emoto's work for being pseudoscience and lacking scientific rigor. A "Emoto-sophist" would be someone who, like a sophist in ancient Greece, uses persuasive but ultimately flawed arguments to support their claims, often drawing on Emoto's ideas. In essence, they are using Emoto's work in a way that is not supported by scientific evidence and is perhaps intended to mislead or manipulate.
This is The Sophist: which ( IMO would be a better description for Rham if one wanted to use part of "Emoto-sophist"
.
In ancient Greece, sophists were known for their skillful use of rhetoric and argumentation, but they often lacked genuine knowledge and were more concerned with winning arguments than with truth.
