The implications of '''Conservapedia's Law''' are striking:
The implications of '''Conservapedia's Law''' are striking:
*Over the long term, politics and culture cannot withstand the more powerful forces of logic and language. Conservapedia's Law ensures that a free society will, over time, inevitably become more conservative regardless of the best efforts of [[liberals]]. Of course [[liberal deceit]] can cause much suffering during that process.
*[[Wikipedia]], in order to survive, will inevitably feel compelled to adopt principles similar to [[Conservapedia]]'s. The [[liberal]] practices and rules underlying Wikipedia will either be abandoned or lead it to inevitable ruin.
*Historically conservatives have tended to rely on control and tradition, as in emphasizing what has proven to work in the past. But if conservative insights increase geometrically over time, then a better approach may be to welcome and promote new wisdom in addition to established understandings.
*How quickly is truth discovered in a free society? Conservapedia's Law suggests that truth is discovered at a geometric rate, much faster than an [[arithmetic progression|arithmetic rate]].
*The rapid growth in conservative insights suggests that only a fraction of the truth is yet known, as stated by [[Isaac Newton]] but denied by [[liberals]] today. Indeed, the rapid growth in conservative insights explains why liberals attempt to discourage an [[Essay:Quantifying Open-Mindedness|open-minded]] search for the truth: those discoveries are more likely to be conservative than liberal in nature.
*The geometric growth in conservative insights implies that the obstacles -- liberal [[censorship]] and deceit -- lose ground at a geometric rate in a free society.
