Speaking a lie does not require intent, but a failure of due diligence not to lie. Speaking the truth does not require one intends to.

Intent determines punishment, harm does not, and so restitution does not. That’s the difference between permissive ingroup moral and scientific judicial.

So it’s that I do understand – that most lies hide under cover of moral pretense w/o intent, but is always failure of due diligence, assumed or by intent, that are the basis for sophistry, plausible denial, and esp abrahamic deceit.

Positivism is dead. Science = falsification. Truth = falsification. Intent is irrelevant in crime.

Harm exists whether you intend it or not.

If you don’t want to pay for your unintended harms, don’t take actions the consequences of which you don’t understand.
