Intellectual theft is
the most sensitive crime in the intellectual world... |
The goal here is to return ethical text to its primary position of concern within the dissident community. The goal is to bring objective awareness of self-defeating structures, to encourage discussion, to avoid epistemological disaster among dissidents and the people they protect.
The appearance of plagiarism (defined) brings corruption, in-fighting, distrust. It taints associates and discourages research. The success of dissident research depends upon this concern. Orthodoxy has long recognized the inherent principles and institutionally protects against plagiarism. The dissident environmental and medical community is based on ethics and is expected to naturally obey these principles, however, this cannot be taken for granted.
Comparison Of Two Writing Methods
| Plagiarism process → | |||
| Author: "Orig" Constructs original work |
Author: "Robber" Plagiarizes Orig's work |
Robber creates disadvantages | Long-term damage |
| Research: Original, interesting Errors: Normal errors |
No conversation No prior notice Copy/paraphrase Orig Reference Orig with shallow criticism, or, with rejection, while extensively using Orig's work/theses. |
Robber is isolated by
ignorance or greed. Robber provides an unhealthy role model. Energy is diverted to rationalizing plagiarism, planning plagiarism and legal loopholes, rather than fact-checks, communiques, and research. The tree of research is downgraded to the quality of a rumor. Superficiality and inaccuracy pervade. Research: Diluted |
The dissident community is
viewed as hypocritical because plagiarism undermines its ethical
arguments.
A web of errors proliferates as rumor-research replaces normal practice. A web of disrespect proliferates in and out of the dissident community. Researchers are preempted from their own work. They are pushed from the table. Research: Disintegrated |
| Normal process → | |||
| Author: "Orig" Constructs original work |
Author:
"Norm" Uses Orig's work normally |
The work community profits | Long-term strength |
| Research: Original, interesting Errors: Normal errors |
Research, ideas, facts, concepts are transferred with notice and conversation. Friendships are acquired. |
Original and new research is refined, corrected, and advanced. False lines of inquiry are recorded and roadsigns posted. Opposing views can emerge, with both views being strong, while still contributing to the intellectual health of the dissident community. Research: Growing |
The dissident argument
maintains a solid foundation of accuracy and ethics.
A trusted coordination of alliances are formed, not broken. Strong legacy is provided for other researchers. The dissident web tree proliferates accurately. Research: Growing |
