“LET THE PEOPLE DIVIDE. LET OUR PEOPLE GO”

(1. The error of the monotheism – equality and unity)

(2. The error of the enlightenment: equality and universal aristocracy)

(3. The truth of property, contract, and prices)

LET THE PEOPLE DIVIDE. LET OUR PEOPLE GO.

Rather than prosecute the false argument that ‘We’ have much in common: LET THE PEOPLE DIVIDE.

Rulers take advantage of the false argument of the RELIGIOUS ERA: if we make claims of group interest, we can fool people into acting as if they are extended family.

I should work on this argument a bit, because the enlightenment error of universalism, equality, and an aristocracy of everyone, is also dependent upon the monotheistic error of ‘a family of everyone’.

Neither of these are true.

Polytheism is superior to monotheism.

Micro Polystatism is super to Macro-Monostatism.

The problem of human cooperation is not moral or ethical or any other form of emotionally misleading, and intellectually false group membership.We do not need to create conceptual or moral homogeneity and equality in order to live happily and peacefully and prosperously together.

The problem of human cooperation is technical, not preferential: PROPERTY, MONEY, and VOLUNTARY EXCHANGE.

One cannot reason without logic.

One cannot describe cause and consequence without narrative.

One cannot create record and transport knowledge without writing.

One cannot count and compare units without numbers,

One cannot measure and compare spaces without operations and units.

One cannot cooperate without property

One cannot plan production, without prices.

The market allows us to cooperate on means despite diverse ends.

Government is just an organization for the purpose of providing decision making where no other technology exists for the purpose of decision making (direct voting).

Legitimate government creates contracts : rights and obligations,

Illegitimate government creates commands, and fraudulently markets them as ‘laws’.

Government can facilitate cooperation in the market, or it facilitate rents on the market.

A government that does other than:

1) enforce contracts, where contracts are not constructible, or enforceable without property rights.

2) facilitate exchanges via trade policy between classes in cases impossible to construct in the market without such trade facilitation of trade policy.

3) Provide a means of insurance

…obtains legitimacy by:

4) Violence for the self preservation of the privilege of te bureaucracy.

5) Justification under the religious era’s error of unity of interest

6) Justification under the enlightenment’s error of equality, universalism, and

However, this is a continuation of the technique of using repetition, obscurantism, complexity, and our natural cognitive biases, to deny us our ability and desire, to function as families, extended families and tribes, all of whom cooperate via the market.

but instead of micro-governemtns for families, extended families and tribes, pooling interests for trade policy, insurance, and enforceability of contracts, we are forced under macro government, to give up our opportunity to trade and instead, forced to seek rents and free riding and our own freedom from the state.
