SIMPLETON LIBERTARIANS AS USERS OF PILPUL

Lets go back to a Simpleton-Libertarian Jan Lester. He is a perfect example of using “If we can get away with saying this, then we can get away with saying this, and if we can get away with saying that, then we can get away with saying this.” It’s not science. It’s not causal. It’s just what we can get away with saying. He’s just using Pilpul to justify his priors. The fact that he justifies a correct observation; that all costs are subjective, and that man both responds negatively to the imposition of costs, and retaliates against the imposition of costs is secondary. The same for Hoppe’s use of argumentation. This is just Pilpul in action. Where do you think the Germans got it from? The bible. The old adage that you can find an excuse for anything in the bible isn’t unique to the bible. It’s in numerology, astrology, and the introspective debate of moral propositions, and in the analysis of literature, and in the interpretation of bad art, or in decision using legislative rather than discovered law.

You see the reason the roman’s dismissed greek law was because the greeks acted then as the jews act today. The purpose of their use of law is to confuse – to render undecidable.

What if lawyers were punished for arguing immorally? This is one of the reasons the british system is better. We separate the advocacy from the argument. This way the lawyer can pacify his clients emotions while in court the law is argued more truthfully than in our american world. The burden on american judges is much higher. And american law adapts faster and better than british law. But the flaws in our system are as equally visible when the use of the narrative to construct lies is successful.

If our citizens were taught the trivium in childhood it would be very hard to construct juries that were fooled, or market falsehoods to them. if our young adults were taught propertarianism and testimonialism then our judges and lawyers would be very difficult to overwhelm.

The world is not complicated. It is our lies that make it so.
