    LACK OF DUE DILIGENCE = LYING

    Aug 06, 2017 1:51pm

    by Bill Joslin

    —“Curt equates a lack of due diligence to vet ones ideas against error, bias, self deception, overloading etc as lying. Any primacy of consciousness or theism stands as arguing for a preference opposed to arguing a point in the commons.

    Theism and primacy of-conciousness are not verifiable in the commons – to proceed with them you must accept these premises.

    ***When we verify via our best empirical methods, our arguments gain credibility from reality. When we assert based on a priorisms which can not be found in reality we use logic to “steal credibility from reality” – we assert it as reality without consulting reality- a transfer of credibility from existence in reality, to the interpretive framework.***

    If an argument holds arbitrary assertions we can dismiss it off-hand. (If asserted without evidence it can be dismissed without evidence)”—

    @curtdoolittle Let’s put it this way: if I worked for Twitter, and I wanted to further their (stated and unstated) aims, I would ban you like a shot, coz I actually understand what you are saying. Most of it, anyway 😛

  • THE WEAK USE TOOLS OF THE WEAK The problem with mythology, conflation and fictio

    THE WEAK USE TOOLS OF THE WEAK

    The problem with mythology, conflation and fictionalism is that like numerology astrology and scriptural interpretation, you can find any meaning you look for. Just as any opponent can do the same. As such it is just the wittiest liar that wins the tactical argument and the most utilitarian lies that win the war of political control. The only way for the good to win is the truth, and to abandon all convenient sophisms and to prosecute as liars all who do otherwise.

    Weak and false is weak and false no matter how useful weakness and falsehood are.
