"Words ought not be judged solely on their truthiness independent of their person."
Ok... so who are you? Since I don't know you, I can't judge your statement with any respect to you, so your statement cannot be considered true, so why say it? Truth is quite obviously the sole standard a statement should be judged by. If you give up on the analysis and are looking for a shortcut, then that is something else entirely. Our "ability to discuss" is hampered when your opening statement is self-evidently false circular reasoning.
- wav-part 9y agoIf you give a statement with proof that can be confirmed in short time then reputation is irrelevent. Otherwise I am not going to spend time to think about provability of your statement, unless you are reputable or I trust you. So Reputation does not imply a statement. Reputation is only used to reduce ddos on my brain. Ironically Headline/Article basically suggest to accept it as truth because reputation.
