I thought of “awesomeology” a while ago, and someone else in the NY group independently proposed the same, so it must have some appeal...
(Someone else mentioned that “scientology” would actually be a decent possibility if it weren’t already taken.)
I’d like “cognician”, if not for the fact that it would sound identical to “cognition” when spoken aloud.
The general problem with coming up with a really cool word for something is that other people might notice that it sounds cool and will try to steal its connotations for unrelated concepts.
