Armies of Lies Instead of Armies of Men: War at a Discount.
[T]here are always malevolent people in the world. They simply lack the means of acting. Raising an army is actually quite hard. But we dont need to raise armies any longer. We celebrated the benefits of literacy. But we celebrated literacy among our culture of truth telling. We did not account for the misuse of literacy, the misuse of printing, the misuse of education, the misuse of radio, television, and film to construct elaborate lies. The most important was, to justify lying. The abuse of information systems whether it be the pricing system, or the education system, or the media, has been just as damaging as any war or plague – perhaps more so. We have survived the thirty years war. The world war. But we did not survive I suspect, a century and a half of lying (pseudoscience).

WE ARE COMPATIBLE
1 – MALE AND FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE COMPATIBILISM.
2 – PROGRESSIVE, LIBERTARIAN, AND CONSERVATIVE MORAL COMPATIBILISM.
3 – ARISTOCRATIC AND ASHKENAZI SOCIAL COMPATIBILISM.
You know, that it’s democracy that makes us incompatible. Because under democracy, we have nothing but tyranny of the majority, because democracy merely justifies monopoly. The market allows us to cooperate even though we have different preferences and values. But the market can’t always help us with commons. Why isn’t the government like a market; a place for exchanges, rather than a means of justifying one group’s dominance of another?
THE TRUTH MAKES US COMPATIBLE.
But only if the law reflects the truth.
There is only one moral principle.
And every time we violate it, we lose an opportunity for mutually constructive exchange. We create conflict.
We were the people who told the truth. They taught us to lie.
ITS TIME FOR A RESTORATION

(Freaking too many people out. Maybe I should go offline while I work on the various forms of truth as group evolutionary strategies. I mean, it’s so freaking obvious. But we think (erroneously) that we have a lock on it. And we’re wrong. We have a lock on platonic truth. We don’t have a lock on any form of extant truth. sigh.)

A PROHIBITION ON TRUTH
They are prohibiting truth.
They made our ignorance something to celebrate.
They made our passions something to surrender to.
They made freedom of speech and virtue of opinion morally superior to speaking the truth and only the truth.
They buried us in pseudoscience
They have manufactured a moral prohibition on truth, and a mandatory license for lies.
They say ‘what harm are these little lies?’.
They declared war on the people who speak the truth. When our only cultural advantage is that we speak the truth.
Is truth teh domain of warriors, and all else deception?

SNIPPETS OF OATHS
(truth, property, insurance : aristocracy)
Speak the truth, even if it leads to your death.
Take not that wasn’t justly paid for.
Safeguard the helpless.
Punish the wicked.
Virtue knows no convenience and apology,
Only duty, and celebration or mourning.
Nobility is a choice.
Choose.
