—“Why do people hate you so curt? I don’t get it”—A Friend
I Slay sacred cows.
P is a via negativa.
High investment. Elitist. Intolerant. Exclusionary.
Unapologetic.
People want power, ideology, philosophy, theology.
I say words don’t matter only actions.
They want words because they feel powerless to act.
I deprive them of the power of words.
Leaving only collective action.
Where they must compromise on collective results.
And pay the costs of achieving them.
Rather than shaming or pleading others into doing it for them.
Rule of law under P: the power to deny power – including power by words for people powerless and desiring power by words.
The only solution is collective action, the law, and then to create new narratives within the law.

—“Reciprocity is active. Haters have crafted arguments they thought were large enough to hide their passivity behind. … The active reciprocity that P demands does not undermine these passive shelters, it does not counter these arguments, it makes them obsolete.”—Luke Weinhagen
