  • Untruth is profitable in the short term for the individual. Truth is profitable

    Untruth is profitable in the short term for the individual. Truth is profitable in the long term for the polity. Just as theft is profitable for the individual, and ordered rule of law is profitable in the long term for the polity. In general, the service of governments is to suppress local parasitism (corruption and crime), thereby reducing local transaction costs and dramatically increasing productivity. The problem for the polity is then in minimizing or eliminating those centralized rents through the distribution of the costs of policing. So far this has been almost impossible for all societies. It’s possible now, largely because of the possibility of information transparency.

    TRUTH IS A DISINCENTIVE FOR ‘OTHERS’ AND AN INCENTIVE FOR US

    Truth in public speech will impose a cost on us. It will impose nothing more than the cost of additional effort on the right. It will impose a very high cost on the left, especially the (((professional))) left – an intolerable one. It will impose such an intolerable cost on parasites that they will leave. And it will impose an intolerable cost on those who invade to degrade our civilization, that they will never want to come. Meanwhile, we will get nothing but wealthier, and we will again evolve our civilization under truthful public speech in matters of the commons as we did by truthful speech that we call ‘science’ in matters of the physical world.

    We have a ‘stupid’ contingent of our own. A pretty big one. And always have. But the ‘stupid’ contingent can only live above its station if their elites (us) drag them along with us.

    So while the ‘stupid’ contingent is a problem for us when they even glance in our direction, they do place a burden on parasitic leftist speech, they have been successful in disrupting the leftist narrative, and in the end, they will either take to the streets and help, or not.

    As usual, the radicals take to the street first and the others follow once they think there is a chance of success.

    IDEAS CONTROL PEOPLE BY CIRCUMVENTING REASON

    —“Emotions control people”—James Santagata

    And Ideas that are designed to circumvent reason by wishful thinking, suggestion, loading, framing, overloading, and deceit control emotions and therefore control people.

    As I continue my work, I generally think more in terms of conflation and deflation. I’m not against religion – i think it’s necessary. I’m against falsehood. And that’s because falsehood is not necessary – and the consequences of it are terrible.

    LETTING YOUR INTERNAL MIRROR DECEIVE YOU.

    Many of you ‘nice boys’ are, I suspect, like most libertarians, relying on an internal intuition about the nature of man (which is just a mirror of your own brainstem), and confusing the interpersonal similarities of peoples one-on-one with the familial, social, political, and intellectual dissimilarities. A small minority doesn’t matter. But once a group can exercise its intuitions rather than exercise our high trust norms, the EMPIRICALLY DEMONSTRATE that they are not capable of participating in those norms.

    ABRAHAMISM

    *why do you need to lie?*

    *why do you need lies?*

    *why do you fear truth rather than lies?*

    The left has produced a false secular religion. They did it with pseudoscience and lies.

    The right tried (failed), but is finally producing a secular religion without pseudoscience pseudo-rationalism and lies.

    WHY DO YOU NEED TO LIE?

    No matter what excuse you make for Abrahamism, in order to justify your priors, you’re stuck with one question: if it’s good, then why do you need to lie about it?
