NOT QUITE RIGHT. BENEVOLENCE IS MADE BY LAW NOT BY ACCIDENT OR INTENT
—“A Benevolent Dictator is the most efficient form of government”— Justin Glanville
A benevolent dictator bound by natural law tested by an independent judicial ‘cult’ of the law, and defended by a militia of the same, is the most efficient form of government.

As eli so thoroughly demonstrates, we don’t prosecute you on your intentions alone, but on your failure to perform due diligence. This eliminates the ((())) model under which one can claim innocence of intent under conditions of creating moral hazard, which one then benefits from.

Studying legal papers and theory you quickly learn that law is ignorant of economics and scale. You learn that the problems lawyers and the courts face are problems of economics and scale. You learn that they are trying to solve a social science problem with a crude instrument that changes slowly. Jurist and Lawyers have seen the atomic but not the aggregate. and so it creates a kind of disciplinary blindness. The problem with the profession is that while we have common and continental law, we have lost or only just discovered natural tort law, which solves problems of juridical decision making, where conflating the law with legislation and regulation and to some degree command, create all those problems of interpretation.

WESTERN MAN, AND THE LAW.
by Michael Churchill
(Paraphrasing Curt): The myth of western man IS the law. The law is our mythology. We are creatures of the law. The law allowed us to rise out of the slime. To civilize ourselves and everybody else.
(Paraphrasing Bil): Hippie healing experience is a not-very-useful diversion from law. Every hippie healing modality can be better handled with better application of natural law. It was some failure to apply the law (in past or present) that created the disorder and suffering in the first place. So one can go straight to the breakdown in the natural law and thereby get to the root of the problem. Identify the misunderstanding of natural law, and the root of the problem is revealed.
To the extent one resists full accounting under natural law, one is fleeing from one’s problems, and the suffering continues. A week of hippie healing gives temporary respite from symptoms, but without full accounting and truth-telling, the core of the disorder remains.
Half our suffering today results from suppression of natural law by those who benefit from its non-application (which leads to societal breakdown, which is always good for somebody).
Anyway, this is the core of the Proprietarian analysis and I find it very persuasive. (But I am still not convinced Freud was completely wrong either.)

—You’re still a moralist and I’m a legalist. The difference is the arbitrariness and imprecision of your position and non-arbitrariness and precision of mine. Ergo I am more confident because I am not troubled by lack of clarity – because I have none.–
