A BIAS AGAINST CONFLICT

We all have our goals in life. Our preferences and our biases. I am not unaware that my ultimate bias is against conflict. I hate it. I am really good at it, precisely because I hate it. My household as a child was filled with constant conflict. I worried about my mother all the time. So in developing a political philosophy it is somewhat obvious that the defining property of propertarianism, is that it’s rationally calculable, in any an all circumstances. As such all disputes are rationally decidable. I don’t care what political order you choose, any more than I care what sport you play. What I care about is that you don’t steal from me, and I won’t steal from you. Because stealing of one kind or another is the source of all human conflict. After you suppress stealing, everything else is merely envy. And envy it turns out, if you can’t steal, is a pretty good motivator.
