PROVIDE RATIONAL INCENTIVES FOR MORAL BEHAVIOR

—“My question regarding your website: Is it reasonable to expect humans to weigh integrity higher than greed? These values are what restricts or allows a person to LIE.”— Nina

Very, very, smart question.

Instead, is there a means by which to construct a law such that we produce a market for the suppression of falsehood, deceit, and fraud, that provides sufficient incentive to avoid greed and demonstrate the pretense of integrity?

… Law not belief. …

Only via positivas are useful to the masses. We can know the via-negativas (harms, thefts, costs). But we cannot know the range of via positivas – only the market can determine them. If we institutionalize the via-negativas, people will develop and market via-positivas (virtues).
