MAGICAL THINKING
–“Magical thinking is the attribution of causal or synchronistic relationships between actions and events which seemingly cannot be justified by reason and observation. In religion, folk religion, and superstitious beliefs, the posited correlation is often between religious ritual, prayer, sacrifice, or the observance of a taboo, and an expected benefit or recompense.”–
As you move east and south this seems to increases rapidly

—“Sometimes I think I understand why we women increasingly read novels. Novels, when they work, use lies to tell the truth. The information marketplace, battling for an audience, tends, more and more, to transform intolerable truths into novelistic, riveting, enjoyable lies.”—Elena Ferrante

ART AND NATURAL LAW
Since art is fictional, and therefore analogical, we judge it by its morality first and truthfulness second. If a hero is a marxist it’s immoral. If it promoted abrahamism and marxism it’s immoral. it it misrepresents history it’s immoral. If it’s fiction and it claims to be, and it’s not immoral then it’s neither false nor immoral.

Yeah. To some degree I want to make Truth and Natural Law a Cult – an extremely intolerant cult. A judicial priesthood. An Inquisition of Truth. Because that is the origin of western civilization: truth regardless of consequences.

TRUTH IS A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE FOR THE DEMONSTRABLY SUPERIOR.
I just argue that truth is also a signal and that superior peoples can in fact use truth for the same purposes (and in general they have). And it’s most important that while inferior groups can use falsehoods, only superior groups can use truth.
Truth is a competitive advantage.
(The opposite is also true. Falsehood is a competitive advantage for the demonstrably inferior.)
