Re: Is Lying Immoral (Sinful, Illegal)?

Lying is polarized belief; polarizing knowledge takes longer.

Re: Is Lying Immoral (Sinful, Illegal)?

This also necessarily implies the only thing you can do with a lie is lie (or tell the truth) about it being a lie.

Hence, polarization; the act of lying simply polarizes a belief or a proposition about being able to lie.
If this is not true, then there is a lie which can't be lied about, or a truth which cannot be truthfully spoken about = stated propositionally (think about that for a second or two).

We can say or think "I am telling the truth, or being honest - with others and myself", and so we can say or think: "I am lying, or not being honest with myself and with others".

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
