“NOMOCRATIC KIN-CONTRACTUALISM UNDER MARKET GOVERNMENT WITH A HEREDITARY JUDGE OF THE COMMONS”

Some of us understand that the holy grail of government is a scientific government: that being rule of law. The problem with constructing rule of law by means of discovering conflicts, is that we have always sought the first principles of that law. And they are … inconvenient for leadership and parasites.

It is not so much that we need meritocracy, but that we need to remove all parasitism. It is not so much that we need individualism, but that we need to remove all collective parasitism. It is not that we need kings to rule, it is that we need kings to veto those agreements that conduct parasitism against future generations. It is not so much that we need rule, as that we need decidability in matters of conflict. It is not so much that we need government, as that we need a method of constructing competitive commons. It is not so much that we should be universally gregarious, as it is that we should attempt to fund every opportunity for reducing in-group transaction costs.

I can continue. But most of political history can be reduced to justificationism in an effort to construct an artwork out of adding clay from the earth of cooperation, and most of scientific history can be reduced to criticism in an effort to construct an artwork by removing unwanted stone with the chisel of violence. We must do both: construct our art of cooperation while removing the unwanted parasitism.

This is science in government. And the discipline of science in government is natural, common, organic, distributed, universally applicability under universal standing ,

Economic science then is NOT the theory of the social sciences, but the science of the production of commons, and all of that theory must take place within, and be bound by, this science of natural law.
