Form: Sketch

(this post is under construction for use in teaching propertarianism)

(We want to teach amoral language so that we can avoid deceit. propertarianism then extends Testimonialism: truth telling.)

COMMUNICATION

Transfer of properties by analogy culminating in the transfer of experience (meaning) by the process of “suggestion”.

The process of creating shared experiences using symbols – primarily language.

TRUTH

(reconstruction of same experience)

(where the experience corresponds to reality)

FALSEHOOD

Imagination

Error

Bias

Wishful Thinking

Obscurantism

Suggestion

Deceit

SUGGESTION

Loading

Framing

Shaming

Rallying

Chanting

Truthfulness

TRUTHFULNESS

Due diligence that we have not engaged in deception, or error, bias, wishful thinking, obscurantism, suggestion, and deceit.

DUE DILIGENCE

We perform due diligence by testing every dimension of knowledge we know how to. (just as we have different mathematics for each of the increasing dimensions):

Identity and Category

Internal Consistency (logic)

External Correspondence (empirical consistency)

Existential Possibility (operational definitions)

Parsimony, Limits, Full Accounting (limits)

Morality (Productive, Fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfer, limited to externality of the same.)

KNOWLEDGE

There is only one sequence to knowledge, and all others are false:

Perception(observation) -> Free Association(awareness) -> Hypothesis(guess) -> Theory(Due Diligence) -> Law(Survival) -> Tautology(identity/name) -OR- False

Knowledge is not a qualifier as some pretend, nor does it or can it convey truth content. It is anything in any state of the process of knowledge evolution that we can observe, are aware of, imagine possible, seems consistent, cannot seem to falsify, that is not yet false.

Knowledge: anything that works for the purposes we intend and we cannot yet deem false.

SCIENCE

Science = Truth telling. While we cannot know if we speak the most parsimonious truth, or whether we speak the truth, what we can do

THE ECONOMICS OF TRANSFERRING EXPERIENCES

(we use scientific language because it imposes the lowest cost of truth testing upon the audience. we avoid scientific language because we wish to impose costs upon the audience. We embrace unscientific language when we want to deceive.)

THE CREATIVITY OF MEANING AND THE CRITICISM OF TRUTH

(two part process: 1-transfer meaning, 2-test for truth – Reverse, Obverse)
