TRUE ENOUGH – FOR THE CONSEQUENCES
We are limited by physical reality, and the limits of our biology and technology within that physical reality, because of costs. Costs of time, energy, and resources.
True? Truthfulness is costly. So, True enough for what?
1) … The Transfer of Meaning (understanding without harm)
2) … … Taking Personal Action (utility without harm)
3) … … … Taking Interpersonal Action (avoiding harm to others)
4) … … … … Providing Dispute Resolution (imposing harm on others)
When we discourse or debate? True enough for what?
1) … To convey meaning?
2) … … To obtain agreement on categories and values?
3) … … … For the purposes of subsequent deduction? (sufficiency)
4) … … … … For the purpose of falsification? (removing argument)
5) … … … … … For the purpose of coercion? (removing choice)
6) … … … … … … For the purpose of prosecution? (imposing harm)
‘Deflationary Truth’ refers to the absence of ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism and deceit.
‘Science’ refers to the process by which we produce deflationary truth by the systematic elimination of ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism and deceit. Not meaning, not sufficiency for individual action, or interpersonal action, but for the provision of agency(limitation of choice), and dispute resolution (reduction of choice), or punishment (elimination of choice).
“Agency” refers to the condition under which an individual acts having eliminated ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, and deceit, so that individuals may act in perfect concert with the universe. Perfect Agency exists in a condition of perfect Truth, and Perfect Truth exists only so far as it is created by science.
“Sovereignty” refers to a condition of agency when acting in reality amidst the limits of physical and cooperative reality. PerfectSovereignty exists in the condition of perfect agency.
