Economics: Math, Physics, Engineering, Econ, Law are specialties. A philosopher specializes in Truth. Truth Trumps All. Sorry. #NewRight

You see. Once something is universally decidable you are stuck with providing better decidability in order to falsify it.

WE ARE BOTH INFORMED AND DECEIVED BY SUGGESTION
We should not be surprised, if experience is transferred by the process of using names of properties by means of suggestion, that those who would master deception would do so by the same process of suggestion.
Meaning, that one can seek to inform or to deceive by the same means. And that some of us should specialize in the suggestion of truth, some in the suggestion of honesty, some in the suggestion of error, and some in the suggestion of falsehood, should not surprise us.
What should surprise us is how willingly susceptible to suggestion we humans are if suggestion confirms our natural cognitive or moral biases. Nor should it surprise us if others develop specialization in suggestions that invoke our moral biases.

GOOD PHILOSOPHERS MATTER
So, as evidence of the importance of philosophers – at least the scientific kind – the failure of the western culture in the 20th century was due to the failure of the western thinkers to solve the problem of truthfulness that would have ended the combination of democracy and pseudoscience in the present era, just as philosophers failed to defeat the combination of immigration of third worlders, ignorance of women, transportation, writing, and mysticism in the ancient world.
WE MATTER. GOOD AND BAD. WE MATTER

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
Throughout history governments (the management team of the marketplace) has seen fit to impose standards of weights and measures – usually by requiring a dominant standard be observed by all traders in the market.
These standards of weight, volume, length, composition (ingredients), naming (champagne), and branding (Mattel) – and sometimes form (design) seem to be incrementally adopted everywhere.
Why?
