WE FACED OUR IGNORANCE WITH COURAGE AND DESTROYED SUPERNATURALISM

Can we face our ignorance, and this time, destroy our pseudoscience and pseudorationalism?

WHEREAS

1) Operational descriptions are perfectly testable – informationally complete.

2) Names of operational descriptions for brevity – but at the expense of lost information.

3) Names of categories of operational descriptions for brevity – but at the expense of lost information.

4) Conflation of names of categories of operational descriptions for (a) transfer of meaning by association, (b) admission of ignorance, (c) use to obscure ignorance (d) use for deception.

5) Use of abstract categories “thing”, “is/are/was/were” for (a) brevity (b) admission of ignorance (c) to obscure ignorance (d) for deception.

CONVERSELY

One can speak entirely in operational descriptions limiting one’s self to operational grammar. The uncomfortable problem that results, is the near universal admission of our near universal ignorance, and our use of pretentious prose to obscure our ignorance and deceit.

This is what I have learned from our failure to defeat the pseudosciences and pseudo-rationalisms of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
