IT”S NOT JUST RECIPROCITY: THE METHOD

When you’re testing for reciprocity ask:

1 – Is it productive? Do we both have more capital under subjective value after the transfer or not?

2 – Is it fully informed? Meaning, truthful and complete.

3 – Is it voluntary a voluntary transfer of demonstrated interests?

4 – Is it free of imposition of costs by externality on the demonstrated interests of others?

5 – Is the other party warrantying that it is productive, fully informed, voluntary, and free of externality?

6 – Is it restitutable if it is warrantied? Meaning is is possible to perform restitution, and is the other party capable of paying restitution?

For example:

WHEREAS;

Party A wants to deny party B the right to bear arms.

WHERE;

  1. Is it productive? Well no. It’s an attempt to reduce some harm at the cost of enabling another harm, but there is a difference in preference over the choice of bearing those harms.

  2. Is it fully informed? Well no. It’s an attempt to circumvent accounting for the tradeoff in risks, under the pretense that a preference is equal to a truth.

  3. Is it voluntary. Well no, it is involuntary or the question would not arise.

  4. Is it free of imposition of costs by externality on the demonstrated interests of others? Well, no, not limiting the right to bear arms imposes costs (risk) upon those who might be harmed by those with arms, and limiting it imposes costs (risk) upon those who defend self family commons and government from usurpation.

  5. Is it warrantied and warrantable. No. Neither side can warrantee the other.

  6. Is it restitutable. No life is not restitutable wither in defense of rights or in defense of self.

  7. Can an alternate solution be made? Of course. Pay the cost of protecting your interests rather than depriving others of the right to protect their interests.

THEREFORE

  1. The alternative solution is (a)to have those people who wish to bear the risk of a disarmed public pay for their defense, or (b) for those who wish change to finance and move to a separate geography with different limits.

This is a cursory treatment but you get the idea.
