––“Invention of mass media led to explosion of sophism. Add in social media so you can see what everybody is thinking, and it becomes clear – most people are just operating on instinct. Even most right-wingers. (What Haidt points out is readily observable. People cherry-pick data according to the narrative their instinct causes them to embrace.) It just so happens that the right-wing instinct builds civilization and the left instinct destroys it. Point is, this modern explosion of sophism (leftists overloading the discourse via mass media) hasn’t actually changed the underlying dynamic, which is the same as in the previous battles between the two instincts.”— —John Mark

The Standard of Decidability In Grammars Matters
The standard of decidability in philosophy is excuse making (justificationism). The standard of decidability in law is malincentive, evidence, and warranty. (less well articulated as Means, motive, opportunity, and evidence)

No More Lies.
NO MORE LIES: 1) SCIENCE = LAW, 2) PHILOSOPHY = SOPHISM, 3) THEOLOGY = FICTIONALISM Science consists of performing due diligence such that we can warranty our testimony in operational terms each of which is testable by the audience (jury). In other words, science (which emerged out of western customary law) In science we attempt to falsify until only truth existentially possible candidates remain. Philosophy as the term is used, and as the consists of justificationism. It is an attempt to bridge the legal(scientific), and Imaginary (fictional). Just as theology is an attempt to exit the legal(scientific). In other words, both philosophy and theology seek to circumvent the demand for testimony. Law/Science (falsification) > Philosophy (justification) > Theology justificationary fictionalism). In other words, you either practice law or your practice sophism (fraud) or you practice fictionalism (lying). The question is, if you can’t state your testimony in legal (scientific) language, then you either don’t know what you’re talking about or your lying for one reason or another, because you CAN’T DO OTHERWISE.

The Purpose of Sophism Is Overloading
The purpose of a Sophism is to overload your reason such that you must appeal to intuition for decidability. And intuition is even more negatively biased than our cognitive biases.

(I don’t know if you are keeping up with James Santagata’s ‘experiments’ in argument, or if he’s even sharing them, but he is out in front of me now and is getting the methodology for how to defeat them down.)

—“The (((leftist))) response to Western truth telling is to insist that literally no knowledge can be known at all. It is only from this subjective reality that their mental poison can take root.”— Joseph Smith
Just as females sew doubt and undermine any change in direction that includes any risk, and promises anything other than an immediate effortless windfall that requires no trust between parties.
