WHY DO BAD IDEAS WIN OVER GOOD?
–“If I have understood @curtdoolittle right it might be the mechanism of the marketplace of ideas itself that isn’s able to make good ideas win over bad. In my experience often people don’t want to listen to a well thought out idea. They go with the stupid one even though it fails”–@KareMHaret

Great comment. I would say that just as negative gossip, rumor and criticism spreads faster than beneficial truth, that desirable lies spread faster than truth. And that undesirable truth spreads slowest of all.

As such, just as civilization progresses by the discovery of means of suppression of imoral, unethica, and criminal behavior, the result being the emergence of manners, ethics morals, and norms producing a behavioral commons, that the only means of civilizing the informational commons is the equal suppression of false accusation, false promise, frauds, and deceits.

Before I completed my work I thought such a thing impossible, but having completed it, I found it’s not. Unfortunately, there are too many people who fear the truth, because the result would be the recognition of their class, status, self image, and as such a need for a reformation of religion into a non-false means of cognitive behavioral training and therapy – such as stoicism.
