    THE END OF THE DISCUSSION OF SOVEREIGNTY LIBERTY AND FREEDOM.

    ***The law must satisfy the market for dispute resolution, where property consists in the enumeration of those subjects of conflict having been decided by the law, and where the scope of property insured under the law is determined by the market for dispute resolution. And where reciprocity is always and everywhere decidable under all circumstances under which there is human conflict – because it is purely empirical, purely logical, purely rational, and of evolutionary necessity.***

    Thus endeth the lesson.

    To answer the original nonsense-argument, that people produce not markets, this is patently false. Rule of Law produces, markets, and markets produce risk takers and organizers, and less and less frequently labor. The value is created by the risk, the organization, and not labor.

    @BobMurphyEcon Socialists drive produce arbitrary rule disregarding not only the external but the internal, and driving people into the market for corruption, rent seeking, and black markets. So the capitalism vs socialism debate distracts us from the west’s origin: Rule of Law by reciprocity.

    The capitalism vs socialism dichotomy is yet another bit of Pilpul to distract useful idiots. The question is and always will be Rule of Law vs Rule by Discretion. Rule of law produces markets limited by externality, where “capitalists” want free trade regardless of externality.

    That’s just the evidence. In fact, over the next fifty years the increasing decline in the value of labor will require paying people to not interfere in the market they depend upon because all they are able to do is generate demand for consumption given the disutility of labor.

    —“WHAT IS YOUR OPINION OF MONARCHY”—

    Monarchy (which is a purely christian european order, in which kings are crowned by the church, as an insurer of their fitness), has been limited by traditional (indo european then germanic law) of individual sovereignty, interpersonal reciprocity, truthful testimony, promise, and contract.

    Russian Tzars had dictatorial power,

    European monarchs did not.

    Roman and Greek did not.

    The rest of the world has some version of chieftain, headman, ruler, but they do not have traditional european law of tort, trespass, property, or what we call natural law.

    As far as I know we had the optimum form of government evolve in england, with a strong monarchy, a strong parliament as a jury negotiating the monarchy’s requests for money and policy, a house of industry (lords) as a supreme court, and a church for matters of family and society not matters of state.

    Unfortunately the church did not reform itself into a benevolent house government of natural law, nor did the state force it to, because the malinvestment by the church in it’s supernatural dogma was impossible to overcome. And so we both failed to add a house of ‘the family’ for labor and the underclasses, ad the church fell out of public policy. This resulted in parliaments and houses of government eventually subject to mob (underclass) rule and the frauds, sophists and pseudoscientists who made those classes false promises.

    If we maintained houses for the classes, and one for women, then we would be able to conduct trades (parliament = parley-ment = parley = negotiating conflicts) between the classes and genders rather than conduct all out propaganda wars in public in an attempt to get the most ignorant to side with one class or the other.

    As far as I can tell, a monarchy hiring and firing aristocracy to rule the state under that natural law, traditional law, indo european law of trespass, tort, property, combined with christian tolerance and charity) is the optimum form of government. My opinion is that we need only retain voting by direct vote, by economic contribution, when the monarchy wishes to raise taxes (revenues), and that those revenues be directed to stated purposes, not under discretion of the monarchy, and then some constant portion of revenues left to the monarchy to use at its discretion for the development of high commons (beautiful things).

    And so, we will now either add houses or lose participatory goverment altogether – as predicted.

    We offered to take over the payroll of the Ukrainian Judiciary (about 10k people) in order to force rule of law into the country (that’s what was needed and I repeated it regularly in every media outlet possible). But the oligarchs and government wouldn’t have it. Issue remains.

    @karlbykarlsmith I suspect that if past patterns of behavior follow, Trump was aware of Fox News investigation and simply went directly to the source and asked the obvious.

    Um. Duels are only used for the solution of interpersonal disputes that cannot be settled by the court (ie: dependent upon testimony alone). People who are problematic for the GROUP are just eliminated by the group. It’s numbers of opposition that keep men moral.
