WE ARE THE PRODUCT OF OUR LAWS. EVERYTHING ELSE IS AFFECTATION
Natural law predates all western states, and is merely the law of tort (reciprocity for the prevention of retaliation cycles), which is merely traditional european customary law back into the pre-govermental (tribal) period. Natural law is the label and justification for traditional (northern) european customary law. It was the greeks who started and zeno in particular who gave the romans, the explanation that traditional customary law of individual sovereignty and reciprocity (and tripartism), was in fact ‘natural’ ( living according to the laws of nature), and the church’s contribution was to state it was necessary for peaceful cooperation among peoples as a means of demanding the state – particularly once the spanish started slaughtering primitives in the new world.
Western civ like all civs is a product of our law, and our law like all civs originated in our military orders and was codified during the period of the great transformations.
Theologians, priests, monks, and the church like philosophers, public intellectuals, professors, and the academy, and like propagandists, politicians, bureaucrats and the state, take credit for and develop names for, those things which they justify but do not cause or created or even practice.
Meanwhile the law, the economy, the trades, and families leave daily records of the purely empirical.
We are almost always just the product of our laws, and everything else is propaganda.
Hence the importance of law, and in particular the law of sovereign men, and that is the law of tort: the resolution of conflict and the prevention of retaliation cycles by the demand for productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange, free of imposition of costs upon third parties (externalities).
It just so happens that once you choose sovereignty and the law of tort you are forced to produce markets, and in doing so adapt faster to changes than all other civilizations combined.
