HONESTY, TRUTHFULNESS AND TRUTH VS PARASITISM AND DISCOUNTING.

Honestly, truthfulness, and truth are three different things.

Honesty is what you believe prior to criticism, truthfulness is demonstration of scientific warranty having performed thorough criticism, and analytic truth is something we are likely prohibited from knowing, except as tautology. It is extremely difficult to make fallacious arguments if they are stated truthfully.

People want to rely upon religious argument, moral argument, and rationalist argument, instead of scientific (truthful) speech: because it allows them to lie. Religious argument is an authoritarian mythos – often for the common good, because it allowed us to overcome tribalism – but just as often not. Moral argument without Propertarian criticism is an excellent means of lying because it forces guilt and shaming into the conversation. Rationalism is an exceptional means of lying because it forces verbalism into the argument. Postmodernism is the most masterful lie ever constructed after religion.

—“But, … are you lying if you think you are telling the truth?”—

This in itself is a verbalism: imprecise language that permits deceit through obscurity. The correct statement is, “if I fail to warranty by due diligence my statements, I am engaged in an act of willful ignorance.” Most of us engage in willful ignorance in order to use deceit to justify our discounts (parasitism). All language is negotiation, and all moral argument is justification. Truth isn’t kind to our justifications. But truthfulness is as necessary a commons as is property.

– Humans acquire. We attempt to obtain the greatest benefit, in the shortest time, with the least effort, with the greatest certainty, at the lowest risk.

– Cooperation is a multiplier on acquisition.

– Parasitism in all its forms is a disincentive to cooperate: murder, violence, theft, fraud, fraud by omission, fraud by indirection, fraud by obstruction, free riding, privatization of the commons, socialization of losses, conspiracy, invasion, conquest, and predation.

– Parasitism is an unearned discount (theft) on cooperation. Commons are a premium on cooperation.

– Cooperation, norms, truth telling, and property are costs – the premiums we pay for cooperation.

– Everything else is theft.

– Economic velocity and group production, acquisition and consumption are the result of the total suppression of parasitism in all its forms. The greater the suppression of parasitism, the greater the warranty of truth telling, the higher the economic velocity.

It’s just math really.

Humans are entirely algorithmically expressible creatures.
