Truth is not found in words, but in actions. We do not need language to demonstrate truths. In fact, it is hard to imagine that language has any positive meaning other than to provide us with inexpensive models to problem solve with. Unfortunately, while providing us with discount modeling, it also serves as an outstanding means of also obtaining discounts by means of deception.

“How dare you attempt to _HIDE_ your ‘Hate’ behind Science!”
– The Liar’s Mantra I
“How dare you attempt to _EXPLAIN_ your ‘Hate’ with Science!”
– The Liar’s Mantra II
“How dare you attempt to _JUSTIFY_ your ‘Hate’ with Science!”
– The Liar’s Mantra III
“How dare you attempt to _CONDONE_ your ‘Hate’ with Science!”
– The Liar’s Mantra IV
“Truth is never, ever an excuse such _FEELINGS_ or _CONCLUSIONS_ on this issue!”
– The Liar’s Mantra V
“This issue is just too important & critical to allow the involvement of Truth and Science!”
– The Liar’s Mantra VI
[T]he Liars will always proclaim that they love & embrace Truth & Science.
In reality they don’t.
Liars only love and embrace truth and science when it is convenient and seems to support or can be twisted to support their claims and religious dogma (e.g., secular humanism, tribalism or ethno-chauvinistic supremacist views, etc.).
Outside of that narrow exception delineated above which utilizes the simple binary litmus test of: (a) Is it good for my views? and/or (b) Is it good for my people/group?, Truth and Science becomes not just bothersome but extremely dangerous due to its destructive capabilities.
At this very moment then, Truth and Science threatens to slaughter the Liar’s own Sacred Cows, therefore, Truth and Science must and will be completely disregarded while the Truth Speaker or Scientist will be tortured and slowly murdered in front of the fellow villagers in the public square.
Call all Liars to the carpet. Hold their faces to the fire. Don’t let go until they have been fully asphyxiated or immolated in the flame.
And then repeat for several more minutes for safety before removing head(s) and placing on a pike(s) in the public square with an interpretative sign explaining (a) why this occurred, (b) how they caused it and (c) they deserved it.

—“The primary concern of mathematics is numbers, and this means the positive integers. . . . In the words of Kronecker, the positive integers were created by God. Kronecker would have expressed it even better if he had said that the positive integers were created by God for the benefit of man (and other finite beings). Mathematics belongs to man, not to God. We are not interested in properties of the positive integers that have no descriptive meaning for finite man. When a man proves a positive integer to exist, he should show how to find it. If God has mathematics of his own that needs to be done, let him do it himself.”— (Bishop 1967, Chapter 1, A Constructivist Manifesto, page 2)
—“If God has mathematics of his own that needs to be done, let him do it himself. “—
Yes, and equally so:
**If god has morality of his own that he needs to be done, then let him do that himself as well.**
Man’s only possible morality consists in fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange, free of negative externality.

THE SIMPLE TRUTH
It’s pretty simple. Ultimate truth is a problem for priests and gods. But men must act using the available level of precision that their tools allow them to act at. Any statement at the available level of precision that allows actions to produce promised outcomes is a true statement. That does not mean that we cannot increase precision. So newton’s theories are true, as are Einstein’s, as will be whatever subatomic theory we construct that will replace Einstein’s. Because at each level of precision these theories produce promised outcomes.

[T]he way the Jewish people held sway over their members, is the same way that all religious cults hold sway: there are mandatory beliefs, mandatory language, and mandatory rituals that one must follow or be ostracized. And as long as the benefits of the group are sufficient that threat of ostracization provides incentive to hold to those norms, then people do so out of purely utilitarian choice.
Rallying and Shaming of the Feminists and Socialists works by the same means: neo-puritan and postmodern language demands verbal, belief, and ritualistic conformity or they will rally, shame, and attempt to ostracize you.
Ludwig von Mises attempts to create an equally mandatory pseudoscience of praxeology in order to demand compliance of members. Rothbard expanded Mises’ approach and this approach was a failure until Rockwell and Tucker use the new medium of the web to compete with the old media. And for a short while, it worked.
However, science and truth telling have won the day and the world now speaks in science – leaving mises verbal cult adrift and associated with the lunatic fringe.
And even worse, the world has been systematically abandoning philosophy as a cult language for more than half a century. And its important that the world does so, because philosophy was the ruse under which these systems of lies were constructed and propagated.
That is simply because science corresponds more accurately with reality than does any other form of language – because scientists have the least perverse incentives than anyone other than mathematicians. And even mathematicians still engage in fanciful platonism – moreso than do scientists.
So what use is philosophy? Prior to propertarianism, cognitive science and experimental psychology, I think it was necessary for debating moral discourse. But at present, as far as I can see, it is merely a primitive system of measurement limited to human scale. Perhaps, better stated, it is the means by which we attempt to construct theories such that we may test them, refine them, and state them operationally.
In that sense, philosophy, is merely a looser member of the logics, and a subset of science, which in turn is a subset of truth telling.

(humor)
Speak the truth, even if it means your death.
Punish the wicked.
Safeguard the helpless.
Never submit, never surrender, never stop.
Crush your enemies completely.

THE INSTITUTIONAL SOLUTION IS THE JURY AND THE MARKET
We know how to build libertarian government across heterogeneous moral codes: universal standing (proposals) before the jury (of our peers), in which we propose fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchanges, free of negative externality.
