WHAT IF YOU JUST BEAT LIARS?

(testimonialism)

Would you stop interpersonal harm? Would you stop harm against a monument? Would you stop someone polluting the water? They why won’t you stop liars from polluting the informational commons?

The problem is in knowing a lie – claim of common good – from statement of preference. And knowing advocacy of parasitism from one that is not.

Is the individual promoting a productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange free of negative externality? Or is he arguing in favor of ‘takings’ for the common good – or some other act of parasitism?
