Option four, have an external standard that is neither based on the community nor the individual. But the problem is, that standard has to be right. If it's wrong, then it's going to be used to censor things that contradict it, and therefore enforce the wrongness. So you need a clear standard of what's right. Christianity once furnished such a standard for the West, but no longer. The closest we have now is the law, but that's halfway to option one.

How do you verify it? It's no easier than before.
