    MONOTHEISTIC DIFFERENCES IN DEMAND FOR THRUTH

    We are taught to tell the truth no matter the consequences. Judaism teaches that deceit is acceptable with non-jews. Islam teaches to lie whenever advantagous.

    —“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.

    YES. AN INQUISITION

    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.

    A militant, intolerante, prosecutorial, expansionist, inquisition.

    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.)

    —“[Your answer is too complex and unusable.]”—

    For stupid folk yes. It is however, correct.

    Just ’cause economics is hard doesn’t mean its false.

    Just ’cause algebraic geometry is hard doesn’t mean it’s false.

    Just ’cause subatomic physics is hard, doesn’t mean it’s false.

    Just ’cause natural law is hard, doesn’t mean it’s false.

    Stupid people only matter under universal democracy.

    One cannot fix stupid people.

    One can however eliminate them from democratic participation.
