Q&A: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY LOADING, FRAMING, AND OVERLOADING?

—“Curt, you talk about ‘loading and framing’ a lot. I have an idea of what you are talking about, but I’m wondering if you could provide a link to something to help me flesh out my understanding of the topic.”— Ed Hertzog

Ed Hertzog:

Great Question.

-Framing:-

There are a limited number of causal axis the mind can resolve into a consistent judgement without falling back on introspection – in other words, it is easy to overload our ability to reason with causal density.

When we are overloaded by the frame, we abandon reason and resort to intuition – moral intuition.

When we resort to moral intuition we resort to our metaphysical value judgements.

This is a form of suggestion. Humans are very suggestible. Tremendously so. Do some research. Reason is limited. That’s why we had to invent math, logic, and science.

(Hence why I constructed Testimonialism scientifically)

-Loading-

Loading is the art of attaching value judgements to facts. This is another form of suggestion. Because communication requires we use a sympathetic process, it is possible to use suggestion to load an argument with value judgements.

(Hence why I constructed propertarianism amorally.)

-Overloading-

Saturating the discourse, or environment, with propaganda, or false-evidence. False propaganda is inexpensive under mass communication, and defeating fallacious arguments is expensive. We are subject to environmental suggestion.

(Hence why I have outlawed unscientific political speech from the commons.)

Protect the informational commons using the same rule of law we use to protect all other commons – including property rights themselves.

You can research Chomsky and Lakoff (both masters of lying, which is why they understand the topic). But you will find that they seek to USE it rather than prohibit it. I do the opposite. Prohibit it. Fraud is fraud. No matter how elegant.
