    DECONFLATION OF THE LAW

    Legislation consists of assigning rights, obligations, procedures, restitutions, and punishments, and regulation consists of the same to enforce legislation.

    There is but one law and it is reciprocity.

    The FINDINGS OF LAW in the common law constitute application of reciprocity to disputes, and the recording of those findings as advice to all subsequent jurists.

    6 – The Law (reciprocity)

    4 – Findings of Law (application)

    3 – Regulation (enforcement)

    2 – Legislation (political command)

    1 – Command. (authoritarian command)

    Cheers

    UM. YOU WANT A PROPHET, OR EQUIVALENT? SORRY.

    I don’t want to appeal to anyone. I don’t want to be popular. I don’t even want attention. I want to present a constitution that solves real problems, and then foment a revolt in order to demand their solution. I am unimportant.

    There is NO REASON people need to undrestand propertarianism any more than quantum mechanics or algebraic geometry, or the body of extant law and its reasoning. The intellectual work is for intellectuals and jurists in defense of that constitution.

    There is however, every reason for COMMON people to fight for a better life and the end to political conflict and social strife.

    I only need to convince some number of them that this will solve the problems that they face. Because only a small number who will fight is necessary.

    CRITICISMS OF THOSE UNABLE TO MANAGE FALSIFICATIONISM (MARKETS)

    —-“AFAIK, right now, you need more than motive (“incentive to deceive or defraud”) to prosecute.”—B Quimby

    You need harm and motive (incentive). You need an involuntary imposition of costs against a demonstrated investment of another(others) – harm. You need means, motive, opportunity. The current argument in legal reform, is that you also need intent or failure of due diligence in order to prevent the police, prosecutors, and judges from driving you to self incrimination.

    —“Your position would sound a lot stronger to me if you demonstrated awareness that your epistemological standard might be incomplete, and in spite of this, that you are willing to sacrifice truths that don’t fit said standard.”—B Quimby

    ***As far as I know propertarianism (in total) is epistemologically complete.***

    That is in no small part because it is falsificationary (via negativa) not (false) justificationary (via positiva), and as such all via positiva (possibilities) are the result of free association and all ‘truth’s survival from competition. In other words, you dont need to excuse your possible worlds (imaginings) just warranty that you have performed due diligence against ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, fictionalism, and deceit.

    —“Or, just demonstrate awareness that dogma can be harmful too, but that you are making a conscious choice to be dogmatic, b/c anything less will breed more harm.”— B Quimby

    Dogma requires a via positiva. Science and law are only via-negativas. Like many people, y’all want a religion or a philosophy instead of a science, logic, and law. I don’t do via-positivas like philosophy and religion. I just do via negativa: what is false and immoral. That leaves universes of non-false, non-immoral possibilities. The question is, why do you want false and immoral possibilities?

    Science(actions), logic(words), and mathematics (measurements) are not dogmas. THEY FALSIFY THEM.

    Propertarianism (vitruvianism, acquisitionism, propertarianism, testimonialism, and the algorithmic natural law) is not a religion, a philosophy, or an ideology or a but a science, logic, system of measurement, and body of law – and not a dogma. IT FALSIFIES THEM.

  • A LAW DEGREE MIGHT HINDER YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF PROPERTARIANISM by Daniel Roland

    A LAW DEGREE MIGHT HINDER YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF PROPERTARIANISM

    by Daniel Roland Anderson (law)

    Depending on one’s academic and personal background, a law degree does significantly more harm than good when it comes to understanding Curt’s work. (Math, Engineering, and Philosophy majors can help. English Lit, Sociology, and Political Science will hinder.)

    Mostly, a law degree hurts, because one learns to conflate legislation and regulation with actual law—which you won’t learn in law school at all.

    And the version of Common Law schools teach (pilpul) will definitely do more harm than good because reciprocity has no role in the process, unless learning how to circumvent, distort, denigrate, and subvert reciprocity counts as a “role.”

    Law schools excel at this.

    Also, Dunning-Kruger will be an issue for most law school grads.

    The situation is actually worse than I’m making out, but I’m spending some time with a friend who grew up working in the fields with me, so I’m in a good mood.

    This kid just turned 32 and intuitively grasps the basics of Curt’s work very, very quickly.

    He graduated high school with a 1.7 GPA, played a little college football and then never held an 8-5 job—opting instead for work where results determined income 100%. He’s trained people and started businesses and is raising a family.

    He has a real law degree. 😉

    —“I have a law degree and i still don’t understand.”–Shane Mark

    If it wasn’t excruciatingly difficult, someone would have done it before me. Instead, a host of intellectuals during the late 19th through mid 20th tried and failed. But since that time we’ve had computer science (existential) instead of mathematics (ideal), and cognitive science (existential) instead of psychology (pseudoscience), and economics (real) instead of sociology (pseudoscience). There are lots of shoulders of giants to stand upon in the late 20th and early 21st when I’m working.

    It’s possible to create strictly constructed law on one hand that is testable by computer software, and a chain of dependency that is testable by computer, and to provide the law, prosecutors, lawyers, judges, and the jury with a set of tests for truthful speech – which cannot be performed by computer.

    Law of tort is quite good really. Legislation and regulation are reasonably good in the anglo (common law) tradition. We just need these tools, universal standing in matters of the commons, thereby ending disintermediation by the state, and providing a via negativa means of competition (court) in addition to the via-positiva means of competition (markets).

    Now, increase the definition and scope of property (see property-in-toto) to the full suite of things that people act to invest in producing whether by expenditure of forgone opportunity, or expenditure of time, effort, or resources, (including manners, ethics, morals, norms, commons, capital et all) and it is very hard for special interests (and usurpers) to survive. And even more so, nearly impossible to seek rents (more on that another time.)

    – Eradicate false and ir-reciprocal commercial, financial, economic, political, and informational speech in the commons.

    – Restore libel and slander.

    – Prohibit baiting into moral hazard in the law.

    – Replace copyright with creative commons.

    – Eliminate consumer interest (yes, really, and it’s not hard).

    – Privatize (contract out) all bureaucratic functions.

    – Replace private pensions with public (they aren’t possible anyway in current and future economies)…. meaning adopt the singapore model of ‘involuntarily buying insurance to protect your peers from your late age poverty’.

    Much, more detail, but all of it is rather ordinary.

    I can’t write twenty pages here but just take it for granted that I’ve worked through these ideas in painful detail.

    We can depoliticize, de-propagandize, eliminate fraud and deceit in every aspect of public life, restore the civic society, halve the time people must work to pay off homes, drastically reduce the cost of education, and dozens of other great improvements and all it will do is end parasitism by the political, bureaucratic, and financial classes.

    I don’t think you understand.

    The existing common law consists of that which the judiciary will decide, and the state will enforce under the presumption we are equals.

    The existing continental law consists of the presumption of a feudal difference between the state and the citizenry, and that the citizens are permitted that which is not prohibited or commanded.

    The existing and past soviet and islamic law, consists of the presumption of enslavement by the state or the priesthood’s false god, and the the limiting of one’s actions to that which is permitted.

    “The White Law” consists of that law of cooperation, the abridgement of which demands adjudication, and restitution, for us to refrain from extermination, enslavement, or enserfment.

    it is a via-negativa law. It is a law of those who are equal in sufficient agency to be granted agency by one another – with the rest of man, beast, plant, and matter to be defended against in the interests of our continued production of agency, and continued transcendence.
