    THE CHALLENGES TO OVERCOME IN SPEAKING THE TRUTH

    It is extremely difficult to speak the truth if you do not know it.

    It is much harder if you do not know how truthful statements are constructed.

    It is even harder if you must face uncomfortable realities when you try.

    It is harder still if you are not taught how they are constructed, because of the consequences of uncomfortable truths.

    It is much harder if you are indoctrinated into comforting lies.

    It is most difficult when lying institutionalized in political and legal systems.

    It is nearly impossible when lies are institutionalized in your religion, philosophy, metaphysics and norms.

    Truth telling is costly. Truth telling is difficult. Truth telling is frequently undesirable. Truth telling is a disadvantage to power.

    That the west invented and institutionalized truth telling is as extraordinary as it has been beneficial.

  • The measure of the level of achievement of any civilization is not relative but

    The measure of the level of achievement of any civilization is not relative but absolute: the greater the suppression of free riding (property rights) and the faster the adaptation of prohibitions (the common law), producing the highest standard of living (purchasing power), producing the most innovation (technology), with the lowest corruption (parasitism), producing the greatest inter-temporal commons (monuments).

    So no. Morality isn’t relative.

    It all comes down to truth-telling.

    Truth telling is the most expensive commons that a people can construct.

    —“According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, women are more likely to abuse children than men. In Australia, “mothers carried out almost 68 per cent of cases of emotional and psychological abuse committed by parents, about 53 per cent of physical abuse and more than 94 per cent of neglect cases.” If you ever find yourself asking why there are so many violent people out there, you might want to start by looking at all those women beating up little children.”—

    I haven’t seen the data but it’s consistent with everything else I have come across.

    Why? Men just leave.

    http://souloftheeast.org/2015/03/31/dialectics-end-man/comment-page-1/#comment-6216NO. DIALECTIC IS A RUSE FOR DECEIT.

    The question is very simple if stated in economic and therefore scientific, rather than religio-moral language: the institutional challenge of preventing free riding on contributions of private property, whether physical, as insurance, or as normative behavior, to the commons, and precisely who is to be a shareholder in those commons.

    It is less satisfying to speak objectively rather than experientially. But then speaking objectively prevents loading, framing and overloading, which are the deceitful means by which free riding is justified.

    The irony being, that moral philosophy in rational language is an exceptional vehicle for the conduct of deceit.

    Which is in no small part the reason it persists.

    Philosophy is an exceptional vehicle for justifying theft by fraud.
