IT’S JUST TRUE. THE MEDIA IS THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.
The Academy, Media, and State have been the enemy of the people since the media made the industrialization of lying possible in the war era.
Is gossip news? Is rumor news? Is he said, she said news?
What if we made every reporter, every publisher, every editor as responsible for their speech as we make CEO’s and CFO’s responsible for their financial reports?
What if we made every reporter, every publisher, every editor, perform the same warranty of due diligence on their speech as we do every advertiser, marketer, pharmaceutical company, financial service provider, and industrial equipment manufacturer?
What if we demanded full reciprocity – meaning that double standards were an act of fraud in public speech just as they are in the provision every other market good whether product, service, or information?
What if we restored defamation to the courts, and removed the special provisions granted to the media – against a thousand years of the law, and against four thousand years of western civilization?
Why do we grant reporters special privilege to gossip, rallying, shaming, defamation, double standards, loading and framing, pseudoscience, without consequence in the most important matters facing us, when we do not allow them in the most common of commercial claims?
Why is not information provided for the purpose of FRAMING the political discourse (manufacturing opinion) not subject to the same requirements for due diligence against ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, pseudoscience, and outright deceit, that we subject all other disciplines to?
I mean. The Jury is in on the media right now. It is profitable to carry on the “Russia” nonsense when it’s so far nothing but a fiction for the purpose of defamation, because in a hostile polity, defamation sells?
Why are reporters allowed to market and profit from defamation that they cannot possibly pay restitution for?
The reporters have taken over the roles of priests of the pulpit: who can engage in fictionalism that forces the public opinion by nothing more than environmental saturation (the industrialization of lying) with defamation independent of facts?
The answer is clear: We need to make reporters, editors, publishers, as accountable for their words as we do everyone else, because they have proven that they are not capable of self regulation as are the medical and legal industries. So it sure looks like we are going to have professionalize the media, require training, require licenses, require insurance, and restore defamation, and extend the warranty that we require of all other market goods to the informational goods provided by the media.
If that happens we will see a very different America, and a very different public.
We will end our experiment in trust under the industrialization of lying we call the 20th century media.

How much damage has the libertarian movement done to intellectual discourse vs the good? How much damage has the marxist movement done to intellectual discourse vs the good? How much damage has the conservative movement done to intellectual discourse vs the good?
The conservatives have contributed nothing. The Friedmanites did something good, but the rothbardians have been a disaster. The marxists haven’t done any good, nor have the postmodernists, and they have been as damaging to the civilization as was christianity.

IT’s not the nouns that” fool you” it’s the grammar – or rather, the absence of grammar.
Primary culprit behind which all fictions hide is the verb to be. If you eliminate it, then it’s extremely hard to create false equivalencies (which is what you’re describing). If you add operational grammar Meaning complete sentences that name actors, objects, actions, transformations, and consequences, then it is almost impossible to state an undetectable false equivalency. If in addition you require any noun or verb be stated as a member of a series, then it will be all but impossible to employ the pretense of knowledge.
English is a high precision, low context language. That means it is burdensome, can be wordy, but can be very precise – if you use the language. But we tend to use substitution for either brevity, or to obscure our ignorance – which is which is only decidable if the person can state that which he states in brevity, in full sentences of operational grammar. In other words, if we deflate our sentences from approximations to names of actors, actions, and objects, it becomes almost impossible to state a falsehood.
(see E-Prime, which I’m sure you’re aware of. See Operationalism int he scientific method, operationism in psychology, proofs in mathematics and logic, and the failed program of praxeology – operationalism in economics and ethics.)
The problem is the grammar: what surrounds the noun and provides context and limits. Not the noun. A noun is just a name. A category if broad, a type if narrow, and an entity if unique. But the limits of that noun, whether category, type, or entity are provided by context (limits) produced by the grammar.
So, I might go back to casting but suspicion on the noun, then saving the noun and blaming the grammar, and because of that, the speaker – because it is the speaker who exercises the pretense of knowledge without testing whether he knows of what he speaks (or reads), whenever he does not speak it in burdensome grammar – and instead he avoids that burdensome grammar, for the purpose of either brevity, approximation, pretense of knowledge, or outright deception.
(if you note that last sentence you’ll see what I mean by the use of series to deflate a category into a spectrum.)

BANNING DEDICATED FOOLS COMMITTED TO THEIR CERTAINTY
On advice of followers, beginning in January I started banning people who were trolling. It improved the conversation immensely. I then prohibited ridicule, memes and links as substitutes for arguments. It improved the conversation immensely. I’m currently considering banning the terminally stupid but willfully argumentative.
There is a small group of people committed to priors who do not follow me to learn or contribute but to defend their intellectual lifelines. These people are all functionalists whose fundamentalism is resistant to deflation, operationalization, reciprocity and full accounting.
Some of us search for an cult, ideology, philosophy, pseudoscience that we think is ‘right’ or will ‘work’ because it suits our interests. Some of us search for truth because truth is in our interests. Some of us try to achieve what is in our interests AND continue the never ending search for truth at the same time, while constantly reforming our philosophies (means of decidability and narratives) as we constantly use truth to eliminate our ignorance, error and bias.
So I am not terribly interested in people who are ‘frozen’ and seek to prevent the process of continuous reformation of truth and philosophy as we continue to learn. That is why I can appreciate all the various social orders people prefer. I dont care which one you want for you. I care only that it’s possible, and what you believe about it is not false. Whether it is ‘good’ or ‘right’ is up to you. Whether it’s possible and true is something I have strong arguments for and against. This is why I advocate for a thousand nations: so that we all live in social orders that suit our interests.
I don’t mind stupid if you don’t waste my time. But I really don’t want my time (and others) wasted. After all, I’m not hosting a public service here. This is my classroom and I use my classroom for research. And if you’re not helping me with my research with quality advice and criticism you’re just wasting my time trying to perpetuate your illusion. Dunning Kruger is everywhere and fictionalism in all its forms exists to provide the unable with means of resistance against the truth which would force them to confront the reality of their inadequacy.
I can’t play basketball or professional football. I am physically inadequate and mentally uninterested and emotionally unrewarded in them. I am more than a tad insensitive to insecurities, fears and incuriousness, and am inadequate for many professions and social circumstances. Face your inadequacy. It is the only means of transcending it.

“To report not on facts, but instead on narratives that yield high ratings, is exactly the definition of fake news,” said James O’Keefe. “We said we are going after the media, and there is a lot more to come.”

you know when a bunch of chicks get together and talk about he said she said? then another group says the same thing but saying its right or wrong but simply give their feelings about it? then another group says ‘well if everyone did that” (the categorical imperative). And then another group says ‘well, you know, we tried that in 1950s”. And then another group says ‘well, statistically it looks like this’. And then another group says “well, this is the set of options available to them at the time, and this is what their incentives were so that is what they chose because they had only those choices”.
That’s what I mean by arguing by moral intuition.

Why? Because my experience is that the Talking Classes and their mastery of lying have displaced the Martial Classes and their mastery of truth telling. And in doing so they have deceived and destroyed the good common man for personal gain. So I want to restore the martial and judicial classes and save my people from the parasitism of the Cathedral: the Academy, State, Media, Financial complex that is far more evil than any military industrial complex ever imagined being.
