    There are many bullshitters among those who claim they are scientists. But that is merely because we have failed to apply the same standard to research goods as we have ordinary consumer, business, industrial, and government products, services, and information. This isn’t terribly hard to do.

    It would unemploy vast numbers of pseudoscientists, and sophists, and fictionalists and petty criminals. I can’t think of a better law to enact for researchers academics public intellectuals reporters advertisers and marketers. πŸ˜‰

    That does not mean science is not the most powerful method of the production of truth we have ever invented and is very likely if not certainly the most advanced it is possible for humans to develop.

    The fact that the nitwit and midwit factions are as easily fooled by nonsense, pseudoscience, sophistry, and theology is a function of the commonality of nitwits and midwits.

    A syllogism is a form of logical reasoning where a conclusion is drawn from two given or assumed propositions (premises). Each premise and the conclusion are typically structured as a statement containing a subject and a predicate, linked by a verb. The strength of a syllogism lies in its ability to deduce a conclusion based on the logical relationship between the premises. The structure of a syllogism is foundational in deductive reasoning and formal logic.

    A classic example of a syllogism is:

    Major Premise: All humans are mortal.
    Minor Premise: Socrates is a human.
    Conclusion: Therefore, Socrates is mortal.

    One need no counter example in a syllogism.

    Science means the production of testifiable testimony.
    Science functions by the competition for survival between testifiable testimonies in the market for testifiable testimonies that consists of other scientists.
    Not all scientific publications or claims survive even the initial test of testifiable under the most basic competitive scrutiny.
    Some survive partly for a time. Some survive partly for a long time. But cumulatively over time those some or all of some hypotheses and theories survive replication, application, and survival in both application and competition from new testifiable testimonies whether hypotheses or theories.
    The progress of this competition for survival, over time, increases the unambiguity(identity), parsimony, consistency, correspondence, and causality of the set of surviving testifiable testimonies (claims, first principles, laws).
    At some point maximum reducibility within a domain is discovered, consisting of textual first principles or or mathematical law, resulting in settled science. (chemistry)
    At some point we
    Therefore Science is merely the application of western tradition of court testimony from civil and criminal matters to mere disputes to hypotheses and theories about the universe and all within it.
    This means that Science is an extension of jurisprudence, and progresses as does jurisprudence, and as a consequence of all knowledge, by Darwinian evolutionary process applied to thought using words.
    Science is just testifiable testimony.
    Non-Science is untestifiable.
    ANd to claim the unjustifiable is true is always and everywhere to lie.
    One can claim supernatural faith.
    One can claim reasonable belief
    One can claim habitual trust
    One can claim experiential confidence
    One can claim the certainty exhaustive knowledge and experience.
    But none of those terms are the same as ‘true’.
    Only testimony that is testifiable, because it satisfies the demand for realism, naturalism, identity, consistency, correspondence, constructability, reciprocity, and full accounting within stated limits can be claimed “true”.

    SOPHISTS USING THE TERM METAPHYSICS TO LIE
    Metaphysics only exists in literary philosophy as the category of assumptions about the universe. This term should be replaced assumptions about reality.
    In logic, the term is premises within a paradigm.
    In science the term is assumptions in the paradigm.
    In social science these premises and assumptions are unconscious in the population in their different individual cultural and religious paradigms.
    The only legitimate use of the term is in social science to refer to the unknown assumptions held by individuals and populations that serve as the paradigm that they use for decidability. Decidability is necessary for choice and choice necessary for action.

    Th feminine mind cannot develop self awareness without relentless responsibility for others, especially children – and even then it’s uncertain.

    A male with feminine cognition merely resists harder with more aggressively feminine pretense of argument – ver senseless, full of sound and fury, but nothing else. So they are, without at least combat service for four years, lost causes.

    The best on can do is plant a seed and wait for a chance window of maturity.

    –“Why have I never seen Michael before?”–

    Michael was one of the (large number) of people that was concerned about visibility with our organization having some negative effect.

    I keep telling people it has the opposite effect. We just advance truth, reciprocity, self determination and responsibility regardless of cost – especially if that cost is that the truth is offensive. Someone has to do it, if we’re going to overcome the present crisis.

    And so we work on policy to protect the people from commercial political academic and activist groups that seek to achieve their ends by false promises and lying. And therefore forcing usall into truthful reciprocal cooperation.

    This turns out, if you simply state it that way, to be pretty much approved by everyone moral. If not then you are dealing with an immoral person and that association is not something good for you, for the organizations, or for the circles you live work and socialize in.

    My position is that Michael, like me, provides evidence that we dominate the leadership of the intellectual spectrum of economic, social, political and legal innovation.

    And while we try to cover the entire spectrum of the individual family social religious political national and civilizational interest, it is important that, even though our work might be very sophisticated and for a smaller audience, the pattern of sophistication in it is also used by everyone else in our organization addressing every other aspect of our lives.

    And so this is proof of our legitimacy and the innovation in our work.

    Great Question

    The term you’re looking for is ‘direct democracy’.

    1) First, in general, the system of government that the european people have lived under is better described as the rule of law and jury system. In this sense, a parliament, was a jury that authorize or not the actions of the king (CEO of the people). The ‘innovation’ that instead, the parliament governed, converted the ‘via-negativa’ jury system to a ‘via-positiva governing system’. By restoring direct democracy, you’re seeking to restore (correctly) the traditional europea method of governing by jury. This is also important because it doesn’t empower the people to ‘make up nonsense’ but instead allows the people to approve or reject policy and particularly taxes that they feel would affect them.

    2) In the broader context, representatives should, at least in theory, be elected for demonstrated competency in military, industrial, or government affairs. They generally are not. Because competent people (as was the problem in England) eventually lose patience with the incompetence of government and the dishonesty of politics.

    3) If representatives are not capable of such, then we have alternative choice of either direct proportional democracy (voting by heads), or direct economic democracy (voting by what are taxes are spent on), or a democracy of randomly selected jury of representatives who have met some minimum standard of demonstrated competency: randomizing the process that prevents politicals from obtaining positions that can be manipulated by special intersets.

    4) However this is only possible if we prohibit “false promise (fraud) and lying to the public, in public, in matters public,” – which was impossible until my (our) work on providing the juridical criteria of decidability for legislating and enforcing such laws. And it’s necessary because the people are (very) easily deceived, and that’s because they are (almost universally) desirous of being decieved if it promises irresponsibility for self and commons, and even more so, if accompanied by desirous of magical thinking to justify it. (Especially white women).

    5) The other alternatives are quite simple (a) give women a separate house of government (lower house so to speak). (b) Rescind the right of women to vote. (c) ethnonationalism the government and all it’s offices. (d) legislate european religions alone as religions of the state, and that others are either tolerated or prohibited based on their consistency with and correspondence with our constitution, our natural law, and our christian ethics and morality – because religion is a group evolutionary strategy and they are and always will be competitors.

    That’s just the beginning of the list of possibilities.

    I live to serve. πŸ˜‰

    Cheers
