—“Popper holds that there is no unique methodology specific to science. Science, like virtually every other human, and indeed organic, activity, Popper believes, consists largely of problem-solving.”—

All human activity consists of problem solving. The method of thinking, acting and speaking developed by scientists is merely the most truthful method of thinking, acting, and speaking man has developed. Empiricism (observation), instrumentalism, Operationalism, and performative truth constitute the most truthful means of thinking, acting and speaking we have come to understand. The reason being that empiricism, instrumentalism and operationalism require us to demonstrate existence proofs rather than mere tests of meaning. The point of demarcation then, is not between science and non-science, but between truthful speech and non-truthful speech. Where the criteria for truthful speech, is the promise of that any other observer of the same actions would experience the same measurements (results).

Furthermore

1) science is a luxury good. 2) there are fewer incentives to lie in the physical sciences precisely because it is a luxury good, and luxury goods reward us with status signals, not material things, 3) There is a very human need to explain – a fear of vacuum – and it is this vacuum that we try to fill, with untruthful thought action and speech. 4) But until we can construct truthful speech, we cannot make a truth proposition, only imagine hypotheses (4b) and our imaginations are guided by our genes: with biases we must seek to escape lest we cause harm to others. 5) Propertarianism them, demands of us an even higher standard than falsification. Propertarianism does not limit how we inquire into science, only what we can claim to say truthfully in any walk of life – including science. Just as falsification places a higher constraint on the scope of truthful propositions in science, Propertarianism further increases the constraint upon truthful propositions in science. It is an ethical mandate that man does not harm, as an explicit constraint upon the many scientists and philosophers that have done harm by pseudoscience and pseudo-rationalism: speaking untruthfully, and causing harm. 6) Propertarianism holds scientists and philosophers accountable for their public speech – and public actions – if not private thoughts, and demands that speakers warranty that they speak truthfully: Operationally. 7) Scientists, academics, public intellectuals and philosophers, in the 19th and 20th centuries, have struggled to restore mysticism using the one success that the academy can claim: physical science, and caused millions of deaths with their words, and destroyed our civilization. 8) if you are not willing to warranty that your speech is truthful, then you may be punished by the rest of us for the harm it has caused. 9) In order to prevent harm of the 19th and 20th centuries, we must create the moral standard, and embody that moral standard in law, that intellectual products brought to the market are no longer able to cause harm because they are either defective, or that they serve as vehicles for fraud – which is endemic to the cosmopolitan and anglo programs.
