We’re Creating A Science of Decidability and Applying it to Law, Government, Economy, Society, and Family.
But we’re working in the USA that has the most sophisticated system of rule of law in the world by far (despite the left’s attempts to undermine it for more than a century).
Let’s discuss: (Excerpt from a conversation with @NoahRevoy on Tuesday.)
I assume that, well, we’re just trying to make a science of decidability. One that results in a science of cooperation at scale. Meaning law, government, economy, society, family. The U.S. Is the furthest along in the decidability curve because our constitution is just a system of empirically deriving the will of the states – it requires concurrency of the people upward, not one of governing downward. And so the U.S. is the place where we can probably make the biggest change fastest and then spread it outwards.
But that’s not what everyone hears. I completely get it. They can’t tell the difference between a science and a good. So they think we’re recommending what to do rather than a system of understanding the optimum and the trade offs that come from variation from that optimum – variations that suit the needs of the individual polity. We have different demographics, strategies, traditions, norms, values, institutions, degrees of technological, informal, and formal development.
The USA, the Five Eyes (Anglosphere plus Japan), are islands, not continentals – part of the world island of eurasia. The USA is Strategically, Militarily, Economically autarkic (independent). So the USA has more choice in its self determination as well as a more sophisticated system of government (for a federation) to do it with.
But that doesn’t apply to everyone. European countries are all relatively weak. They focused on an economic union first instead of a military and strategic. (french manipulation is as deep as russian). Aside from france who wisely choose nuclear power, to maintain her african empire (despite tolerating muslim immigration), and to maintain at least some ability to project power, every other country is effectively militarily incompetent (germany, eastern europe) or militarily exceptional but small in population (Sweden, Finland).
So, what is a small central european country’s application of our theory? How are they going to apply it themselves? Or how could they? Or better, rather than prescribing is to Tell people, if we do this, we’ll get this. If we do that, we’ll get that. Not to lie about it or ignore the externalities, or pretend that sovereignty exists by other than the barrel of a gun, and interdependence of trade.
I would advise suggesting models for France and Germany as well, even though they’re larger and have a lot more power. What does it mean and what’s the best way to use that for your own country’s benefit?
Because I always thought we were trying to make this as value neutral as possible, but obviously being made in the U.S. as its focus because the US is the most advanced rule of law polity (Federation). We can move the needle the most easily. And spread out from there.
