I do research on human perception, cognition, valence, and means of expression and negotiation. In social media I use what I call king of the hill games. I created these games in order to bypass the enduring problem of demonstrated behavior vs reported behavior in behavioral sciences.

The method is simple. Try to use a current event as a platform, and make a statement that provokes moral outrage. We can provoke one side or the other. But the best provocation consists of causing people to interpret your statement according to their bias. So both left-feminine-empathizing-short-term-consumption, and right-systematizing-long-term-capitalization will react to the provocation with equal moral outrage.

We collect these responses. We identify patterns. We reduce the patterns to first principles, where first principles are biological constraints. And then over time we develop a terminology of categories of differences in perception, cognition, valence, expression and argument.

The end result is that we create a science of lying. Where lying means the transfer of false, irrelevant, or manipulative information whether intentionally or not. This is because the law of tort in public matters does not care about intentions, only if you caused harm, and by harm we mean deception. Your realization that you’re transmitting a lie is irrelevant. Most people use selection bias or motivated reasoning to accumulate arguments and most results of selection bias are lies. So people largely argue with lies. If enough people use the same lie it becomes normative. It is still a lie, but it’s a widely accepted lie.

My work, our organizations work is the development of a science of lying and our efforts to incorporate that science into law.

We hope to reverse the industrialization of lying largely by the left because of the marxist sequence of techniques. The European model of lying by Fictionalisms: occultism > sophistry > pseudoscience is consistent with the masculine demand for systematizing, which is overloaded by these Fictionalisms. Meanwhile the feminine > abrahamic > marxist sequence is by accusation, undermining, and reputation destruction using gossiping, shaming, ridiculing, rallying, psychologizing and moralizing and rolling accusation as a means of avoiding argument and overloading emotions.

So you see, for those of us in our organization (and soon our field) people’s arguments are as transparent as the denials of toddlers.
