    TRANSPARENCY AS SUGGESTION FOR DUE DILIGENCE

    by William L. Benge

    One must warranty an “unbiased” claim, which at the outset entails providing full transparency of the claimant’s background and incentives, and repeating this for each and every conflict encountered between the author’s bias and the actual outcome. Transparent and self-aware – even painfully self-aware – provides demonstration of honesty. Really, we all know due to these high costs (personally revelatory skin in the game), that it is extremely difficult to near impossible to create an fully-warranted unbiased report, and so transparency and self awareness suggest to others vehicles for their due diligence on our behalf – the mirror always lies.

    IMO: this is because we have failed to produce a value neutral science (vocabulary) of cooperation, and freud, boaz and marx dug a rhetorical hole we haven’t (yet) dug out of.

  • Testimonialism Is the Core Insight of Propertarianism

    October 19th, 2018 3:29 PM TESTIMONIALISM IS THE CORE INSIGHT OF PROPERTARIANISM [M]ost of the work is dependent upon the completion of the scientific method, and its restatement as due diligence in the production of testimony such that one can (and by law) must, provide a warrant of due diligence for one’s speech. This allows us to extend the demand for involuntary warranty of due diligence from goods and services to information (speech) ending the industrialization of lying that we know as marxism-feminism-postmodernism of the academy-state-media complex. The this ‘checklist’ and the ‘grammars’ are a substantial innovation, and they are unfortunately a bit harder to grasp and internalize than acquisitionism (psychology restated as desire to acquire property in toto), and propertarianism (ethics restated as voluntary transfer of property). The rest, (operational law, rule of law, and perfect government) are not that complicated.

Men who have ancestors worthy of thanks (worship), have no need of false ones. Men who hold lands and render them gardens, have our ancestors and ourselves to be thankful for. Men who grasp the universe itself have the our ancestors and ourselves to be thankful for. We have ancestors that were the heroes they imagined. We are the demi-gods they imagined. And we are not yet done becoming the gods they, and we, imagine.

    Thus the problem of literature vs philosophy, vs science vs mathematics : a decline in ‘interpretation’ due to the increasing precision of the vocabulary and grammar.
