TRUTH IN PUBLIC IS EASY.

All ‘should’ or ‘is’ statements implicitly begin with “I promise that you will find….”. It is very hard to make promises when you lack the information to operationally state them. It’s far harder when you also have to demonstrate rationality of choice due to incentives, reciprocity, and fully accounting.

Now, I have been talking about this for years now, and I have observed that very, very, very few people can state their cherished beliefs under operational, rational, reciprocal, fully accounted language.

It’s very difficult to come to terms with the fact, that you in fact, in all but the rarest of cases, have no idea what you’re talking about. And instead everything you think you know is just a hodge podge of sayings you’ve heard from others.f

It is very easy to require truthful speech. It’s almost impossible to state without knowing the truth. The simple fact of trying to state something truthfully in an operational, rational, reciprocal, fully accounted set of statements will demonstrate fairly rapidly whether a proposition survives even the most trivial of tests.
