SUBMISSION OR SOVEREIGNTY?

You see, Kant was restating Abrahamism: rebellion against the aristocracy.

Now let’s look at the Genghis Khan reasoning:

The only way I will let you live is if it is more profitable than killing you.

The only way I will ally with you rather than fight you or preying upon you is if it is more profitable than not allying with you.

The only way we can profit together most, is by conquest, rule, and tax.

The best way to conquer rule and tax is to force everyone into productive labor.

The best way to force everyone into exclusively productive labor is to impose a law of non imposition.

This monopolizes the extractions for us at the cost of all other attempts to extract rents.

The side effect is that we have discounted all local transaction costs, and increased trust among the peoples who were previously mistrustful and rent seeking, and parasitic upon one another. So that we have them maximized our returns by minimizing our inefficiencies.

SUBMISSION VS SOVEREIGNTY

What are the consequences of ‘submission’ rather than empirical evidence of the superiority of outcomes?

**What would be the consequence of maximizing the categorical imperative vs maximizing the returns on investment?**

Do you see where that leads?

You see, this is the origin of order.

The King’s Peace. The king’s peace was enforced. Markets were MADE – by force: by denying people the shorter term opportunity for profiting from the labor of others.

Kant was just making an excuse for it by claiming we have a choice, and we should choose the kings peace. He assumes the majority prefer the kings peace.

When what we see in reality is that this is a consequence of kinship. Whereas, in heterogeneous areas, it’s been impossible to construct a kantian imperative, because it’s evolutionarily contrary to demand.

The chinese did it right. not because they are an empire. But because like us (originally) they are a family, not a state, or federation, or an empire.

Hence my … uncomfortable with the ‘equality’ nonsense. it’s a rebellion and a degenerative one.

People didn’t CHOOSE to work in greater numbers.

People were FORCED to work in greater numbers.

And they were forced to, because it meant giving up rents.

Everything from near-universal-common-property on up.
