FORCING ALL IMMORAL ACTION INTO THE MARKET?

I guess one of the things that I don’t repeat often enough, is that human impulses can be redirected, but not suppressed.

With extraordinary training those impulses for near term reward can be redirected to longer term rewards. This just requires a hormonal education (training), so that the individual perceives certain suppressions as kicks or highs, the way some of us perceive saving or investing over the experience of consuming something less complex than an ‘idea’.

All of us have a frustration budget. Some of us have a love of frustration for some reason, so we love to play with problems and are actually unhappy if we dont have any to work on. But most people have a pretty low budget because MOST of their ideas and ambitions are frustrated.

So when we suppress free riding, and push competition, we must realize how much of the majority’s frustration budget is expended by doing so.

Now, look at all the types of immoral, involuntary transfers:

1-DIRECT INDIVIDUAL

Murder

Violence

Destruction

Theft

Theft by Fraud

Theft by Fraud by omission

2 – INDIRECT INDIVIDUAL

Theft by Impediment

Theft by Externalization

3 – INDIRECT COLLECTIVE

Theft by Free riding

Theft by privatization

Theft by socialization

4 – ORGANIZATIONAL COLLECTIVE

Theft by Rent seeking

Theft by Complexity, Rule, Process or Obscurantism

Theft by Extortion

Murder, Destruction and Theft by War

FORCING ALL IMMORALITY INTO THE MARKET

While believe it or not, in-family competition, that produces a material ‘loser’ is considered immoral. And as such, most humans intuit competition on PRICE as immoral even if they don’t consider competition on QUALITY immoral.

But we have discovered that the market, conducted outside of the family, produces a virtuous cycle, since as long as there are two sellers and one buyer, while one seller loses on opportunity the buyer gains, and both sellers LEARN, and are forced to constantly innovate.

And that the civil society is produced by allowing ONLY the market as a means of fulfililng wants and needs.

Since we are unequally capable in the market, this is frustrating to many, and rewarding to the few. Even though all benefit, the inability to rest from the competition turns most of us into slaves who will be passed by if we do not stay in the race.

The only problem I see with this system is that redistribution increases the rates of breeding in the lower classes while rates of innovation make the lower classes increasingly unemployable.

We have not yet solved this problem.

As far as I can tell, the only solution is to pay the lower classes not to breed.
