Dear Doctor Seidman,

Let me help you understand. As someone who feels weak and collectivist, you think the constitution constrains us from collective action.

But you misunderstand. The constitution is the terms under which those of us who are not weak, and not collectivist, agree not to kill, rob and enslave you.

Why? Because cooperation is even more materially rewarding than killing, robbing and enslaving.

So, lest you misunderstand: If you violate natural law, which the constitution weakly attempts to construct as an existential order of men, then you break the contract between the weak (you) and the strong (we), and as such we are no longer bound by self-interest to refrain from killing, robbing, and enslaving you.

You confuse your moral intuition – a reflection of your weakness – with truth – that all our moral intiutions reflect nothing but our reproductive strategies. And that only voluntary cooperation free of parasitism is in the interest of the strong. It is the weak who must negotiate.
