    WHEN DID WE STOP ENFORCING TRUTH, AND WHY?

    When did we, the aristocracy, stop enforcing truth telling at the point of a sword? Seriously. When and why?

    Did we hold truth as a life or death standard only between ourselves?

    Did we extend the franchise without extending the requirement for truth telling?

    Sigh. We thought it was just property ownership that was required. But property ownership requires truth telling.

    We didn’t understand that universal enfranchisement meant opening the pandora’s box of lies.

    Or is it worse, in that we could profit from lying? I can’t find that evidence. What I find evidence of, is that the liars found profit in lying to one another.

    So you see, with “truth” and with them as liars, we get to flip our altruistic punishment completely around.

    So this is the moral high ground that we need. And unlike the 1890-1930 period, where they could only offer fear, we can demonstrate evidence.

    Karma is a bitch.

    You cant fool enough of the people long enough.

    SHOWER MIRACLES 🙂

    Just realized how to frame propertarianism, and particularly instrumentalism, in historical context. Didn’t really realize what I was doing. It just sort of ‘made sense’. But it’s pretty revolutionary. Pretty happy with myself today.

    Been a long journey.

  • TRUTH THAT EXISTS : PERFORMATIVE: TESTIMONIAL I can describe performative truth

    TRUTH THAT EXISTS : PERFORMATIVE: TESTIMONIAL

    I can describe performative truth as extant. Can you describe platonic truth as extant? No? I didn’t think so. What you mean is that you are seeking the most parsimonious testimony you could possibly give. You use this obscurant term called ‘The Truth’. You say, ‘I seek The Truth’. But that is analogistic – because if we don’t know what it is that you’re seeking except as vague general idea. But the operational definition of ‘the truth’ is the ONLY one that can be stated. And it can ONLY be stated as testimony. Because only humans can reduce complexity to symbolic statements interpretable by humans. So when you use the platonic term ‘The Truth’, you are using a heavily loaded allegorical substitute for what is operationally performed: ‘the most parsimonious testimony I can give’.

    (Yep we are there on that one. I just gotta work on the information thing a bit.)

  • “SHOW ME” : A NICE TERM FOR “AN EXISTENCE PROOF” (more important than is obvious

    “SHOW ME” : A NICE TERM FOR “AN EXISTENCE PROOF”

    (more important than is obvious)

    1 – Show me the money. (Contract) Money as information.

    2 – Show me the property. (Morality) Property as information.

    3 – Show me the energy (Physics) Energy as information.

    4 – Show me the information. (Logic) Decidability as determined by information.

    The problem with apriorism is its analogistic: argument by syllogism. The problem with analytic philosophy: argument by sets. The virtue of operational philosophy: argument by information.

    ***Show me the information***

    (Getting very close on this one now. I can’t make it ring true for everyone yet, but I am getting pretty close. It will come to me.
