  • It’s not that the best must rule, it’s that the worst must not.

    Just as falsification tells us what may be true by that which we cannot make false; and proofs tell us what is not false but not what is true; and the law tells us now what we must do, but only what we must not do; and evolution tells us only what fails, not what succeeds, it is not important that the best people lead, as much as it is important that the worst do not. For this reason we must limit access to power to those least likely to lead poorly. How do we know? Demonstrated character in familial, entrepreneurial, political, and military excellence over multiple generations. And the elimination of consideration of those who fail the test of character in familial, entrepreneurial, and military excellence across multiple generations.

    Nobility is most frequently demonstrated by intergenerational excellence. For those who cannot master their passions enough for good breeding, good rearing, good production, and good defense, have demonstrated by their actions that they and their families are unsuitable for leadership. Note that survival from the opinions of others in schooling, academy, politics and church, tell us nothing about an individual other than his ability remember and to obey, while engaging in various forms of politicking and deceit. Only family, commercial, and military experience tell us about the capacity of an individual to lead.

  • Democracy’s Monopoly Commons vs Rule of Law’s Market Commons

    The value of democracy in the selection of commons decreases with the size of the population voting. Why? because the size of the population increases the diversity of interests. And because democracy allows us only to choose between priorities from within common interest – it’s a monopolistic means of choosing which commons to produce. So when we increase in scale, we require markets to conduct exchanges between different common interests, not monopolies, to ignore our uncommon interests.

  • Evolution Of A Condition Of Liberty: The Struggle From Discretionary To Non Discretionary To Market Rule.

    (important piece) (consolidates concepts) Western Man struggles against discretionary (arbitrary) rule, in an effort to construct a condition of non-discretionary rule: Rule of Law.
    Rule of Law is imposed upon men by the organized use of violence to prohibit discretionary rule. Natural Law (property) provides Perfect Decidability to Rule of law, eliminating the need for discretionary rule. Natural Law prohibits the imposition of costs upon others, by the universal requirement for productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfer of that which man has homesteaded or obtained such transfers, when the acts were limited to externalities of the same criteria: productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfer. Common Law evolves incrementally by the identification of new methods of unproductive, insufficiently informed, unwarrantied, involuntary transfers, causing externalities of the same criteria, and adding those prohibitions to the canon of the law. Law of the Commons (Government) evolves: – First by concentrating rent seeking in the central authority, and suppressing familial, tribal, and local rent seeking, enabling each individual to act with his property in his best interests. – Second, the law of the commons evolves by the organization of production of commons, while removing the inability to defect from (free ride upon) the costs of provisioning those commons. – Third the law of the commons evolves to provide insurer of last resort as a service to the commons. – Fourth, the centralized rent seeking is eliminated by the conversion of the functions of insurer, and commons-producer, into a market for the selection of commons and tolerance for insurance. (Contractualism). Constitutions enumerate the processes by which rule of law, using market government, under natural law, is conducted by ordinary men. By use of force to create and fund, then market to persist, the meritocratic order is constructed against the will of the free riders that constitute all but a minority of the population. Man was not oppressed – he has been domesticated as surely as our plants and animals. Domesticated by the incremental suppression of parasitism through natural law, reproductive control, and aggressively culling the parasitic. Curt Doolittle The Propertaraian Institute Kiev, Ukraine

  • Ancapism Cannot Survive Market Competition

    ***”anarchism lacks institutions for construction of decidable law, and the production of commons necessary for the continuous development of suppression of parasitism and continuous development of competitive commons. It’s an ethic for disasporic people who free ride upon nation states, but it cannot serve as the institutional basis of a voluntary polity because one cannot create a polity that can compete for members with other polities. in other words, ancapism cannot produce a polity that can survive in the market for polities without a host polity and institutions that it parasitically lives within”***

  • Strictly Constructed Law And Contract

    It’s not that different from programming, which any reasonably intelligent lawyer that can program a bit will readily observe. The Structure of a Program or Contract ———————————————————— Purpose (Whereas these conditions exist) Return Value (and whereas we wish to produce these ends) Constants and Variables (definitions constructed) Objects (constructions from base types / “first principles”) Libraries and Includes ( we refer to these libraries, objects, definitions) Functions (clauses that can be performed) Event Listeners ( criteria that invokes clauses) Operations (assignments of value, comparisons of value) Termination (termination conditions – no infinite loops)
    The only thing preventing law from strict construction was the definition of the first principle from which all constants, variables, objects, operations, and functions are derived: 1 – Productive 2 – Fully informed 3 – Warrantied 4 – Voluntary Exchange 5 – Constrained to externality of the same criteria.
