(Profound)

We have been so busy trying to take advantage of the physical world for 2500 years that we took the cooperative world for granted.

Is it any wonder that it was hard to understand the physical world – truth – when out minds and language evolved from negotiation not fro truth?

Is it any mystery then why rationalism and mysticism are such excellent vehicles for deceptive negotiations – positioning lie as truth, and various other forms of conflation?

But what is it that we are negotiating? And what changed with the scale of our social orders?

Propertarianism: we acquire and defend, negotiate to acquire and defend. And we use obscurity to hide thefts that otherwise violate the incentives for cooperation.

Behind the obscurant language and layers of loading and framing are very simple rules.

The logic of cooperation.
