== Origin and Development == The term “totalizing ideology” in its modern, operational sense was developed by '''Eric Weinstein''', who introduced and elaborated the concept across podcast appearances (notably ''The Portal'', Ep. 41), essays, public lectures, and online discourse. His framing distinguishes totalizing ideologies from merely strong belief systems by emphasizing their '''incompatibility with pluralistic coexistence'''. Weinstein's central thesis is that the '''primary threat to open societies''' comes not from cultural difference, but from any ideological formation that demands exclusive control over meaning, morality, or legitimacy.
