DISTRIBUTING DEFECTIVE SPEECH?
If you sell a product that’s defective, or deliver a service that was defective, were you responsible for the consequences? Of course you were. Because you failed to perform due diligence.
how do we know whether you failed to perform due diligence out of deception, out of laziness, or out of incompetence?
This is the basic question. Does it matter if you cause damage intentionally or unintentionally? No. We still hold each other liable for the damage we do.
What percent of people’s speech (bullshit) do they know is false or half true, or immoral or just wrong (bullshit) but they do it anyway to see if they can get away with it?
Conversely, what percent of people’s speech have they done sufficient due diligence to insure that they do not spread a falsehood, half truth, immoral, or just ‘wrong’ information?
What percent of people cannot be trusted to perform that due diligence – simply because they lack the ability?
How would the world differ if we learned to speak truthfully along with our learning reading, writing, grammar, and arithmetic?
It would be a very different place.
