I came across this Latin term while reading a Supreme Court case (I lost track of which one it was). I think it captures most conversations about politics and economics, as well as any other current event discussion, as of late.
"Ipse Dixit"
Ipse dixit is a Latin term that translates to "he himself said it." In legal contexts, it refers to an assertion or statement made by an individual based solely on their own authority , without any supporting evidence or proof. It is often used to criticize arguments or claims that rely solely on the speaker's authority, rather than objective evidence or reasoning.
