Truth

The rise of the west is due to a single accident: we discovered truth telling.

We are the only people who discovered it, and paid the high cost to establish it as a commons – as normative infrastructure – in manners, ethics, morality, law, philosophy and science.

And so it is truth telling that separates the west from the rest. All western excellences are the consequential result of truth telling.

The ‘killer apps’ of western civilization are the product of a single technology: truth telling.

We can restore truth quite easily. We can restore the greatest mistake in history: a right to free speech, versus a right to truthful speech

We can establish a moral civilization by substituting genetic, cultural, consensus, racial, and regional biases with admission of sovereignty aptitude in individuals of any nature or nurture.
