“How does one construct a polity around truth telling which is competitive again

—“How does one construct a polity around truth telling which is competitive against more demagogical ones, given that all populations exhibit variations in predisposition and ability for truth telling, or for scientific thought and speech?”— Eli Harman

1 – A rule (non parasitism), a book (articulation), a plan (of implementation)

2 – A minority of males who demand it via violence (use the same strategy the opposition does).

3 – Raise the cost of the status quo until the demands (rule, book, implementation) are met. (the same strategy the opposition does)

4 – Crush the Opposition Openly under Truth using social, legal, Political and military means.

5 – Success of enforced truth telling will spread like any other technology give it’s (obvious) competitive utility.

**There is NO DIFFERENCE between the evolution of each era from animism to mysticism, from mysticism to religion, from religion to reason and reason rationalism and rationalism to science … and from science to truth. ***

In every era men have resisted increasing truthfulness, yet in every era they benefit from it.

This revolution in social science will equal the impact of the revolution in physical science.

The only question (in any era) is whether there are a surplus of unsatisfied males that would rather fight than fail. I am sort of counting on that peak happening by 2020-2025
