REPEAT AFTER ME: The Warranty of Truthfulness
1) Internally Consistent – meaning “logical”
2) Externally Correspondent – meaning “observably predictive”
3) Voluntarily transferred – meaning “ethical and moral”
4) Parsimoniously Stated – meaning “the limits are defined”
5) Operationally Defined – meaning “existentially possible”
6) Thoroughly Falsified – meaning you have tried to demonstrate these statements are false, and failed.
If you cannot demonstrate these, then you cannot warranty your statement is free of imaginary content, error, bias, obscurity, misrepresentation, and deceit.
REPEAT AFTER ME: The Hierarchy of Logical Claims
1) In the choice between meaningful and logically consistent, meaningful fails.
2) In the choice between logically consistent and externally correspondent, logical consistency errs.
3) In the choice between externally correspondent and operationally possible, external correspondence errs.
4) I the choice between operationally possible and objectively moral, operationally possible errs.
