Cooperation boils down to property transfer?

Via negativa.

It’s more that the violations of cooperation boil down to involuntary transfer of property.

We cannot imagine all the ways we can cooperate.

We can however, catalog all the ways we had found to irritate. 😉

By avoiding the false and bad and ugly we leave room for all varieties of true, good, and beautiful

We have been programming ourselves forever for finding cooperation and rallying cooperation (via positiva). The problem of calorie shortage reinforces the value of that strategy.

But we are not living in an era of calorie shortage where we must IDENTIFY opportunities, and instead, in an era where we CHOOSE FROM plentiful opportunities by eliminating error, bias, wishful thinking, and deceit.

I think this change from rallying to criticism is very important. A very important change in thought.
