PROPERTARIAN REVOLUTION IS AS HUMILIATING AS THE DARWINIAN
When the general philosophical, social scientific, and legal communities figure out that I’ve ended the debate on the ‘nature’ of man. That our nature is entirely acquisitive, and tediously mechanical. And that consciousness is not required at all for that acquisition. And the degree to which our conscious minds exist is almost entirely for the purpose of negotiation with other humans. And that all our storytelling is for the purpose of negotiation. And that all communication produces just another competitive market. And that through this market we collectively ‘calculate’ our evolutionary path without ‘consciousness’. And that because we are capable of deceit, and deceit is a discount, then this market contains true and eugenic as well as false and dysgenic marketing and advertising information. And that all our subsequent markets for association, reproduction, production, and polities are but an extension of this single system of negotiation between genders and ages and abilities – in that order. And that we can quite easily reduce our speech to description and truth, or promotion and suggestion, or advocacy and deceit. And moreover that by use of ordinary law we can limit all political speech in the market for commons and polities, just as we limit all commercial speech in the market for reproduction and production. And that we can do so relatively easily. Then it will make the humility of the Copernican, Darwinian, and Einsteinian revolutions pale by comparison. But thankfully, it will have as great an effect on increasing the velocity of our cooperation by the reduction of ignorance, error, bias, and deceit as did the development of empiricism. Because as humiliating as it is to realize our consciousness – which we experience as a conflation of sensations, memories, and emotions – is entirely unnecessary. It’s largely a cost we bear in order to create and identify pretenses and falsehoods as a means of cheating our way up the evolutionary ladder.
