QUESTIONING MYSELF, BUT IT SEEMS THAT I MUST SOLVE HONESTY IF NOT TRUTH.

(Still having serious cold and or allergy problems. And having trouble getting in the zone.)

But I’ve been wrestling with the idea of whether or not I need to solve this problem of “Truth” or not in order to finish my work. And, unfortunately, the problem is that I do have to solve it.

MORALITY: I can solve the problem of articulating the objective source of moral instincts.

ETHICS: I can solve the problem of the ethics of cooperation (free riding) – by extending the definition of property rights and adding truth, warranty, symmetry.

POLITICS: I can solve the problem of politics by adding calculability (in all its complexity)

POLITICAL SPEECH: But I think I must solve the problem of public speech as well since it is more influential in the formation of agreements than the rules by which agreements are constructed.

MORAL VIOLATIONS

Those discounts, in economic terms are:

1. Violence (asymmetry of force)

2. Theft (asymmetry of control)

3. Fraud (false information)

4. Omission (Omitting information)

5. Obscurantism (Obscuring information)

6. Obstruction (Inhibiting someone else’s transaction)

7. Externalization (externalizing costs of any transaction)

8. Free Riding (using externalities for self benefit)

9. Socializing Losses (externalization to commons)

10. Privatizing Gains (appropriation of commons)

11. Rent Seeking (organizational free riding)

12. Corruption ( organized rent seeking)

13. Conspiracy (organized indirect theft)

14. Extortion (Organized direct theft)

15. War (organized violence, theft and destruction)

16. Immigration (conquest via displacement)

17. Conversion (conquest via mysticism)

PERSONAL ETHICS

The Ethical code that prevents those discounts (involuntary transfers, free riding) consists in:

1. Requirement that all demonstrated property be categorized as Private Property

2. Requirement for Voluntary Exchange

3. Requirement for Speaking the Truth

4. Requirement for Accountability for Symmetry of knowledge (the whole truth)

5. Requirement for Warranty as proof of symmetry

6. Requirement for Prohibition on negative externalities.

POLITICAL ETHICS

The Political Ethical Code consists in

1. Requirement for the One Law of Property

2. The Common (Organic) Law

3. The Professional Independent Judiciary

4. Contracts not law

– perishability

– universality

5. Requirement of “Calculability”

(note: technically speaking the requirement of calculability implies the requirement for operational language, and the requiremnet for strict constructionism. However, since that deduction apparently isn’t obvious I feel I should call out operational language in the construction of law also.)

6. Right of rejection, exclusion, secession (boycott, and ostracization)

POLITICAL SPEECH

The Public Intellectual’s, Politician’s, Public Speech’s Ethical Code consists in:

1. Requirement for operational language in e-prime as a defense against deception as a means of advocating involuntary transfers.

2. Prohibition on advocacy of involuntary transfer and the universal requirement voluntary ethical exchange.
