    THE TECHNOLOGY OF TRUTHFUL SPEECH

    [S]cience is a moral discipline wherein we criticize our ideas, so that we can speak them truthfully:

    1 — We test our relations for categorical consistency (identity)

    2— We test our reasoning with logic for internal consistency.

    3— We test our observations with external correspondence.

    4— We test the existential possibilities of our premises by defining them in operational language

    5— We test the rationality of our choices by subjective testing of incentives – all human action is rationally self interested.

    6— We test the morality of our display, word, and deed by reciprocity: reciprocal tests of rationality.

    7— We test the consequences of our theories for externalities (involuntary transfers).

    8— We test the completeness of our statements with a tests of full accounting and limits.

    9— We test the coherence of our statements with this list of constant relations both categorical, internal, external, existential, complete, and limited, including the rational when a matter of personal action, and reciprocal when a matter of interpersonal and political action.

    Once we have tested our theories by these means, then we can say that we speak truthfully – and as such do no harm.

    Because scientific method consists of due diligences necessary to warranty that we speak truthfully. And by truthfully we mean consistent, correspondent, complete, rational, and moral, and laundered of ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, fictionalism and deceit.

  • What Is The Difference In Thinking Between Milton Friedman And Friedrich Hayek?

    Friedman was a statistician and Hayek a philosopher and historian.
    Hayek explored every field and came to the conclusion that we were having the wrong discussion: the question is simply rule of law under the common law of tort versus discretionary rule of any other kind. Friedman proposed means of producing commons by market means. These works are largely compatible. What’s incompatible is holding a discussion of capitalism vs socialism rather than what they REQUIRE: rule of law vs rule by discretion (not rule of law).

  • Why Did It Take Humanity So Long To Invent Science?

    Science uses measurement (a form of competition, believe it or not) to extend perception, and eliminate ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism and deceit. In other words, science is the means by which we seek to speak truthfully.

    Science evolved out of european common law of torts (resolution of disputes over property between equals), which led from the jury, to the ‘thang’ to the ‘senate’. This led to ‘scientific’ debate. This led to reason. Reason led to aristotelian pre-science. (He studied constitutions). Bacon was a lawyer. That law led to empiricism. Empiricism led to science.

    Law under competition (western law) led to science.

    Language evolved to negotiate, not to speak truthfully.

    Religion hindered law. (Religion is an attempt to state wisdom literature is true)

    Only the west invented it. You can see the chinese come close. No one else comes close. Even the persians were using what we call science for superstitious purposes.

  • If An Advanced Alien Civilization Uses An Axiomatic System That Allows Them To Solve Many Math Problems That We Have Tried For Centuries To Solve, Would We Adapt To Their System So That Our Math Knowledge Can Catch Up To Theirs?

    Um. I don’t think you understand the constitution of mathematics. And I am not sure that I want to invest that level of effort. But given the simplicity of math, and the impossibility of anything more ‘simple’ than math, the only thing we can do with mathematics that we cannot do now, is increase the dimension of constant relations that we calculate. And even today, that is largely a function of computational power. I mean, once you get to Lie groups you really have completed the circle, very similarly to how once you get to chemistry you have completed the subatomic cycle, and started over.

  • Should White People Pay Reparations For Their Collective, Colonial Pasts?

    UNPLEASANT TRUTHS IN A COMPLETE ANSWER
    I wonder, if white people ( Native Europeans) should collect taxes (Income) for their spread of Aristotelianism (Science), Natural Law under Reciprocity by Tort (Rule of Law), Accounting, Finance, Banking, Credit, and Interest, and The suppression of systemic corruption and in doing so dragging the whole of humanity kicking and screaming, in one revolt after another out of ignorance, superstition, hard physical labor, child labor, poverty, diseases, infanticide, and tyranny in less than 500 years. When beginning with the Abrahamic Dark Age (Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the world had made little caloric progress for almost two thousand years.)

    As far as I know, the only mistake white people have made is entering into a civil war with cousins in Germany, that was initiated by communists, starting in Russia, and spreading like islam today (westward) to the point of internal exhaustion, and therefore leaving the colonial problem incomplete, and therefore leaving so much of the world to struggle through the long process of corruption-suppression, rule of law development, and middle class development, while the only western peoples left standing (Americans, Australians, and Canadians) were geographically isolated from the less developed peoples – all of whom still struggle with corruption, truthfulness, rule of law, moral commerce, and dysgenic reproduction rates.

    WHAT DOES THE WORLD OWE NATIVE NORTHERN EUROPEANS (WHITES)?

  • Possibly, but …. there is pretty good research on the testosterone possibility

    Possibly, but …. there is pretty good research on the testosterone possibility, and as far as I know, sexuality has no significant nutritional composition.An viable hypothesis is that testosterone literally ‘damages’ the fetus, which explains why males take longer to mature.

  • Do You Know The Difference? Religion Vs Ideology Vs Philosophy Vs Logic Vs Mathematics Vs Science

    – A RELIGION consists of any set of ideas of justification which require belief in, testimony to, or action according to, one or more falsehoods as a cost of inclusion and use. – AN IDEOLOGY consist of any set of ideas that agitate, motivate, or inspire achievement of political ends under majoritarian (monopoly) democracy. An ideology need not be internally consistent externally correspondent, or existentially possible. It need only motivate individuals to act in furtherance of policy. – A PHILOSOPHY consists of any set of internally consistent ideas of decidability which justify pursuit of personal preferences or group goods. – A LOGIC consists of any deflationary grammar of decidability that assists in the falsification by competition of one or more constant relations between states. (Note that one proves nothing logically other than internal consistency, because all premises of external correspondence are forever contingent.) – MATHEMATICS consists of a deflationary grammar of decidability consisting purely of competition between positional names under the preservation of ratios providing a single axis of decidability: position, but in N dimensions, providing commensurability between any set of positional relations of any number of dimensions. – A SCIENCE consists of any set of ideas that provide decidability independent of personal preference or group goods, by the systematic elimination of ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, fictionalism, and deceit, by the use of measurement and record of actions – demonstrations versus words. – NATURAL LAW of RECIPROCITY (Tort), was produced scientifically (empirically) by trial and error, through the resolution of disputes across personal preferences, group goods, norms, traditions, and intuitions, cumulating always and everywhere that decidability is provided by property, and property consists in the demonstrated investment of human action or inaction anything whether genetic, material, behavioral, or informational.
