It will cost us to we raise the cost of lying. But our destruction has been achieved by the discounted cost of lying using the media of print, radio, television, film and the internet. Every cost we bear to suppress lying produces returns. Every failure to suppress lying produces ever expanding costs.

You cannot create the superman any more than you can create truth. What we can do is eliminate falsehood, and and eliminate the bad men, leaving only candidates for truth and candidates for good men remaining. This is enough and it is all we can know. We domesticated everything on earth including ourselves. And we know now that the prosperity of a civilization is not determined by it’s geniuses, but by the absence of its fools. We must eliminate the bad. That is enough.

Of all the skills we can be taught the Trivium is the most important. It is the art of testimony – of teaching all children to judge the truth or falsehood of statements. Why would you no longer teach Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric? Unless you wanted children to lie? The Trivium Gives Us Skills in Truth Telling (Not my definitions) 1) Grammar teaches the mechanics of language to the student. This is the step where the student “comes to terms”, i.e. defining the objects and information perceived by the five senses. Hence, the Law of Identity: a tree is a tree, and not a cat. 2) Logic (also dialectic) is the “mechanics” of thought and of analysis; the process of identifying fallacious arguments and statements, and so systematically removing contradictions, thereby producing factual knowledge that can be trusted. NOTE: I would replace logic with ‘testimony’. 3) Rhetoric is the application of language in order to instruct and to persuade the listener and the reader. It is the knowledge (grammar) now understood (logic) being transmitted outwards, as wisdom (rhetoric). The Quadrivium gives us Application of truth telling which is absent morality and cooperation arithmetic – accounts geometry – Spaces and distances. astronomy – Physics music – composition (Aesthetics) Note that these are all statements of measurement Philosophy and Theology ended one’s education. You can also lie in philosophy simply by choosing the standard in-group categories rather than the full set of categories. If you start with this list: Metaphysics, Epistemology, Ethics, Politics, Aesthetics. You will produce very different conclusions from this list: Existence (physics) Metaphysics (actionability) Biology (reproductive strategy) Psychology (biases and limits) Family (organization of reproduction) Epistemology and Truth (Testimony) Ethics (Logic of Cooperation) Sociology (Organization of Production) Politics and Institutions (Organization of production of commons) Group Evolutionary Strategy Warfare Economics Science and Technology. Religion and Mythology History and Aesthetics Education. Why would you write Dr Seuss instead of using our Fairy tales? The socialists lied to our people, taught our people to lie, and ended their education in defense against lying.

THE GREAT LIES THAT OUR GENERATION MUST DEFEAT
The most significant intellectual lie that we can defeat, is the lie that there is a difference between philosophy, morality, law, science, and biology. There is none. If there is one, then someone is lying. Science is merely the philosophical specialization in truth telling. Philosophy no more than the description of why and how that is so, for the purpose of educating us how to tell the truth. Morality and law are synonyms, other than that the law captures but a subset of known immoralities. Rights must exist within the law and are a subset of law. That is it. There is nothing more to say.
The second most significant lie is that there is a difference between intentional and unintentional lie. One lies whenever one fails to perform due diligence. Intention matters nothing. It merely excuses the young, the foolish, the lazy, and the immoral, from the work of speaking truthfully: by having learned the skill of due diligence in testimony. To say otherwise is to say that man is entirely cognizant of the causes of his intutions. Yet we know that he is not.
The third most significant lie is the necessity for monopoly construction of commons rather than a monopoly of law : monologism. We have only a finite pool of resources to draw from whether we obtain those resources as a fee for participation or voluntarily in pursuit of a good. There is no reason that each of us votes how to use our contributions to the commons, and withdraws those contributions to the commons when they are not longer in our interests. There is no reason for a bureaucracy. We can construct private organizations that will do far better jobs as contractors than do bureaucrats, and at far better prices. There is no reason why we do not possess universal standing in matters of the commons,and why politicians and bureaucrats and judges are free from private prosecution. We Can anyone imagine if there were competing FDA’s? And wherein each employee was insured against malfeasance? Aren’t sheriff’s generally more respected than police?
The fourth most significant lie is that democracy is a good rather than a luxury by which the lower classes could participate in the wins of the colonial and industrial revolutions, and whereby the middle class and finance industries could seize power from the martial (territorial) and judicial( logical) classes.
The fifth is that the benefit of education has not had an equally unbeneficial harm. In that the spreading of lies in order to allow minority and female access to education and clerical employment at the expense of men who would protect truth telling as the tradition that gave them access to those roles.Or that the over-expense of education is no different from the payment of indulgences, since it appears to do not good other than filtering and sorting.
Last is that women are benevolent and equal, or than any of us are so.We all pursue our genetic interestst from the least good of us to the most. WOmen have been pandora yet again. And revisited evil upon the world. Perhaps as they were in the ancient world, as mere vectors for lies, but as wishful thinkers desirous only of consumption, they are perhaps more dangerous than the violent men we have so well suppressed in our genes.

THE MISSING LOGICS THAT THE ANCIENTS FAILED TO SOLVE, AND THE RETURN OF INDO EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION’S SYSTEM OF EDUCATION
(very important post)
OBSERVATION (empiricism) AND FREE ASSOCIATION (CREATIVITY)
–“The study of creativity, by filling the mind with information and conducting free association. The most important of which is the childhood study of fairytales, myths, legends, and history.
The TRIVIUM (Justification) (advocacy)
—“The Trivium is a systematic method of critical thinking used to derive factual certainty from information perceived with the traditional five senses: sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell. In the medieval university, the trivium was the lower division of the seven liberal arts, and comprised grammar, logic, and rhetoric (input, process, and output).”—
TESTIMONIALISM (Criticism) (testimony)
Testimonialism is a systematic method of warrantying that one has done due diligence than an intuition, observation, hypothesis, theory, or argument, is as free of imagination, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, and deceit as is possible with the knowledge available.
THE QUADRIVIUM (Correspondence with reality) (Physics)
–“the quadrivium may be considered to be the study of number and its relationship to physical space or time: arithmetic was pure number, geometry was number in space, music number in time, and astronomy number in space and time. Morris Kline classifies the four elements of the quadrivium as pure (arithmetic), stationary (geometry), moving (astronomy) and applied (music) number.”—
PROPERTARIANISM (Correspondence with Cooperation)
A systematic method for the study of cooperation and it’s use in personal, interpersonal, reproductive, productive, commons, conflict, and war.
PHILOSOPHY, MORALITY, POLITICS AND LAW.
Existence (physics)
Metaphysics (actionability)
Biology (reproductive strategy)
Psychology (biases and limits)
Family (organization of reproduction)
Epistemology and Truth (Testimony)
Ethics (Logic of Cooperation)
Sociology (Organization of Production)
Politics and Institutions (Organization of production of commons)
Group Evolutionary Strategy
Warfare
Economics
Science and Technology.
Religion and Mythology

HOMO-GRAPH (written) VS HOMO-PHONE (pronounced)
A HOMOGRAPH is a word that has the same spelling as another word but has a different sound and a different meaning:
…lead (to go in front of)/lead (a metal)
…wind (to follow a course that is not straight)/wind (a gust of air)
…bass (low, deep sound)/bass (a type of fish)
A HOMOPHONE is a word that has the same sound as another word but is spelled differently and has a different meaning:
…to/two/too
…there/their/they’re
…pray/prey
