(learning propertarianism) (important piece)

I’ve constructed Propertarianism to model man as he(she) is, not as we wish he would be. This model turns out to be fairly simple to use:

I – ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY EN TOTO

You make a list of the property-en-toto that people want to acquire.

II – +COOPERATION / -PARASITISM

You treat productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange as a the only rational incentive to cooperate; and the only fully rational reason to abandon conflict, parasitism and predation. And you also require actions be free of externality against those with whom you already cooperate.

III – +PREMIUMS / -DISCOUNTING

Then you treat all exchanges that vary from productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange as discounts(cheating) or premiums(buying insurance).

IV – REPRODUCTIVE BIAS: MALE=TRIBE / FEMALE=OFFSPRING

Human males(quality/production), and females (quantity/consumption) vary in their reproductive strategies.

V – FITNESS (CLASS)

Now, humans vary in objective (a)reproductive value and (b)productive(multiplier) value, and (c)associative(opportunity) value (social, economic and political class).

VI – +ADVOCACY/-JUSTIFICATION

And we humans advocate on behalf of our reproductives strategy. Almost everything we utter justifies our reproductive strategy or negotiates on behalf of our reproductive strategy.

VII – +REWARD / -COERCION

And there are three ways of coercing others into helping with your reproductive strategy (or conversely, hindering their reproductive strategy), and those three are 1) voluntary productive exchange (libertarian/commercial), 2) lying /gossiping /rallying (progressive/priesthood), and 3) threat of violence (conservative/martial)

VIII – GROUP REPRODUCTIVE STRATEGY

And humans cooperate using a shared group evolutionary (competitive) strategy making use of some combination of the three means of coercion: commerce(+reward/-theft), gossip/priesthood(+status/-rallying), Warriors/soldiers/judges(+law/-war) [*1]

USING PROPERTARIAN REASONING (LOGIC)

So, just like economics and mathematics we cannot imagine every possible actions man might take, or set of relations we can construct, but we can explain every possible action man demonstrates in propertarian terms, and every mathematical relation we construct.

In other words, using propertarianism as a formal logic, you should be able to ‘solve for’ any demonstrated human behavior.

This is why propertarianism is so fully explanatory. You have to practice it and master it like you do mathematics, or programming, or chemistry, or physics. But after you do practice it a while, you begin to see the general patterns and you become skilled at explaining all human behavior.

SOCIAL SCIENCE IS NOT PREDICTIVE IT IS EXPLANATORY

We can say what men will likely do given certain constraints. But we cannot forecast what men will do with *sufficient precision to predict outcomes*. This is the correct means of describing the predictability of heuristic systems: that human laws of behavior exist. But that they are largely in-actionable. That is because the degree of precision in the laws of social sciences is limited by the capacity of man to learn and constantly alter his deterministic path, for given the information at his disposal. And we have too little knowledge of the information at one’s disposal, and the information held by any individual, to predict other than general directions.

PROPERTARIANISM PROVIDES US WITH THE FORMAL LOGIC OF SOCIAL SCIENCE.

And there isn’t much more to it than I have stated in this article.

SIMULATIONS

I haven’t the time to build a software simulation for demonstrating human behavior using these ideas, but it isn’t terribly difficult.
