How do you create a truthful society? You don’t. You eliminate deceptive statements from the informational commons with universal standing.

You know. I look at this problem quite differently. But I still agree.

@weeklystandard You failed because you erred or lied, or both. Our mandate is to speak truthfully, morally, empirically. Truth is enough.

Sentiments do not arguments make. Beliefs not policy make. Moralizing not philosophy make. Counter-signaling is but weakness.

Conservatives once stood athwart History, yelling Stop. And trying to change the course of history, against the odds. They had courage then.

There is a difference between being educated and well read. I loved my education. But I am just well read. I don’t consider myself well educated. Possibly the opposite. And it is apparent to me that jayman, hbdchick, and I could never work in the academy. Look what happened to Hoppe and McDonald.
I’ve been pondering today how to talk about the differences in decidability at each level of argument. And how this relates to each deviation in intelligence.
People make the arguments they can. They understand the arguments they can.
People practice the ethics they can. Because those are the ethics they understand.
The information in these different methods may be indifferent. But the information required of individuals increases. And the information in the method of a regiment decreases.
Ergo simple people need myth and highly knowledgeable people need theory or formula.
This statement is expressing able as a mathematical relationship where the individual’s information, induvidual’s ability, and argumentative information vary proportionally.

HIERARCHY OF ARGUMENT
Religion (conflationary analogy)
Mythology, (mythic analogy)
Literature (narrative analogy)
Reason (possible)
Rationalism (internally consistent)
Science, (physical)
Testimony. (moral/cooperative)

TRUTH. CAN VS IS.
(important)
Since all general rules are informationally incomplete until stated in a context of application, It is not that statements are, or are not true. It is that statements CAN or CANNOT be true. Where by “True” we mean, subjectively reconstructed rather than analytically correspondent.
Is True = Correspondent = Justificationism
Can be True = Reconstruction = Critical.
(Our language is a prison built of convenience, much of which is the fault of mathematics.)
“that can or cannot be true” is very different from “that is or is not true”.

Or rather, any non-exclusionary theory is INSUFFICIENT.
