Speech consists of measurements. Those measurements are either identical in correspondence, marginal, adequate, inadequate, biased, or deceptive.

—“What do you use as a basis for your research?”— A Friend Maybe I don’t understand the question…. I mean. I have a very deliberate methodology. Mostly the history of (a) group competitive strategies, (b) geography (c) economics, (d) political orders, (e) laws, (f) methods of argument (grammars). And I use propertarianism (Vitruvianism, Acquisitionism, Propertarianism, Testimonialism, and Natural Law) to perform the analysis. The difficult part of the work is deflating history into Propertarian terms so that all group actions are commensurable. This often requires attacking a proposition until only the truth (in Testimonial terms) remains. And in particular attacking most sacred presumptions and values. And that takes a great deal of time. I have to work long enough that I’ve defeated my own biases as best I can as well. In other words I look at the actions ( inputs, operations, and outputs) not the excuses (what people say about them), and explain the world as the different tactics we use to acquire. The methodology is something I understand very well. Unfortunately it is rather difficult to possess sufficient knowledge to employ it. As such it’s just as hard as any of the other sciences.

YOU WILL EVENTUALLY DISAGREE WITH ME
I will inevitably make you disagree with me for the simple reason that nearly all of us are invested in some excuse or other that violates natural law.
You will not take my advice and accept that the problem is the man in the mirror, but instead, you will blame me or my work or my reasoning, or my incentives, just like you blame others for the status quo, rather than the man in the mirror.
It is extremely difficult to possess sufficient agency such that we ritualize intellectual honesty. While almost all of us are capable of it, few of us train for it, and fewer of us develop it in the course of life, and even fewer of us are born with the disposition.
Truth knows no exception.

NATURAL LAW VS SOCIAL CONSTRUCT
John Mark
“Xyz is a social construct” carries no testable content. What they mean to say is “Human groups don’t actually need xyz to be successful. People have told us we need xyz but we would be better off without it.”
Insert “legislation” or “rule of law based on natural law of reciprocity” for “xyz” and we have a testable statement.
As far as I know, rule of law based on natural law of reciprocity with full accounting (of all forms of property) can and would adapt to social conditions – meaning that regardless of what actions people are taking in a polity, such a system of law would provide legal recourse and restitution for individuals or groups who experienced others violating reciprocity in dealings with them.
