Q&A: “You make a distinction between natural and common law?”

NATURAL LAW: cooperation via non imposition: the requirement for all actions that affect others, to consist of productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfer limited to externalities of the same criteria.

(update)

NATURAL LAW: cooperation via non imposition: the requirement for all actions that affect others, to consist of productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfer limited to externalities that are also productive, fully informed, warrantied, and voluntarily transferred.

Now technically speaking (and I like to speak technically 😉 ) individuals affected by externalities cannot always be fully informed, and as such cannot consent to voluntary transfer. So we have to count on productive and warrantied, for those that are. In other words, if you make people’s property values increase, they are not going to be unhappy about it. If you make them decrease they are going to be unhappy about it.

In other words, impose no cost upon others, directly or indirectly that they have not consented to. But by all means distribute gains to others directly or indirectly whether they have consented to it or not. 🙂

COMMON LAW: those instances in which judges discover a new means of violating natural law, which must then be codified for future reference as a means of deciding against the violator.
