NATURAL LAW AND THE INFORMATIONAL COMMONS
(Curt with Summary by Bill Joslin)
In the end, any moral commons is possible, while no immoral commons is possible. This allows for competing moral commons but denies competition from immoral commons.
I have found no reason why police have discretion to suggest prosecution except where there is evidence of conspiracy to prevent prosecution.
I have found no reason why police have discretion to suggest prosecution of crimes against the informational commons when all citizens are interested parties and can prosecute violations of the informational commons – or prosecute attempts to prevent truth from entering the informational commons.
Islam would not survive, some of the ‘pseudo-arts’ would not survive, just as pseudo-rationalism, and pseudo-science would not survive.
Conversely can you imagine the INDIRECT education this would provide to people in the same way that scientific reasoning has indirectly produced the Flynn effect (along with reducing the number of the low end outliers)?
Imagine a world where disinformation and deception are readily eliminated from the public discourse. How would that effect private discourse?
one does not need a positiva program. we need only a negativa program. every person on earth will then work to produce a host of positiva programs.
Most of philosophical history, as most of religious history, has been attempting to develop positivia programs. And they all result in stagnation.
Meanwhile the west incrementally evolves the common law and we invent philosophies and ideologies and narratives in each generation.
By a monopoly negativa of the Natural, empirical, judge discovered, common law, we create the possibility of a market in everything – including information.
But just as we have deprived people of murder, then harm, then theft, then fraud, then conspiracy, we can deprive people of disinformation and suggestion – an extension of interpersonal fraud by the use of media.
—“^^ okay. So now… if the rights and privileges afford police (to arrest and detain) and judges (to decide resolution) is extended to the whole populace (and incomplete terms but will leave for the moment) then anyone can enforce the law – the larger the market the less likely the market can be used for abuse. Every man and judge, every man an enforcer, every man a gaurd. One natural law makes this possible as the burden to fully understand it does not have tlnearly the same costs as a law degree today”—Bill Joslin
