    It’s just ‘uncomfortable’ that instead of inspirational scientists, philosophers, and priests, the origin of western civ’s success, is Law.

    The philosophers that get all the credit, distract from the jurists who do all the research. Western ‘Science’ = Common Law Tradition.

  • Idea: Contractualism (Liberty, Civic Society, Under Rule Of Law)

    (important) [W]hy do we associate Contractualism with Anarchism, where there is extraordinary demand for the state, instead of associating Contractualism with Nationalism where there is almost no demand for the state?

    Anarchism evolved in the middle east, in eastern european borderlands(owned but unregulated territories), and in western european ghettos(walled subcultures). Contractualism evolved with near kin relations in the North Sea. (Frisia, England, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and then germany and east) You can only have contractualism under nationalism. Othewise you must have statism.

    —‘”What is law?’ may be said to be about as embarrassing to the jurist as the well-know question ‘What is Truth?’ is to the logician.”—

    What is truth? Testimony

    What is law? Decidability

    It’s not that difficult if you speak operationally (in actions) rather than platonically (in meanings)

  • Why Shall We Ignore Any Human Law, State, King (president), Judge Or Lawgiver?

    Laws cannot be given, they can only be discovered.

    Lawgiving is logically impossible. One can issue commands. One can negotiate contractual provisions on your behalf. But one cannot create law, only command, legislation, regulation, and contractual provision.

    There is one natural law, that can be stated in the positive or negative, but must be stated as both positive and negative. (I’ve written too much on this today and don’t want to repeat myself, so I’m not going into detail.)

    • Obverse: – The silver rule (Natural Law – the negative ) do not do unto others… etc.
    • Reverse: – The golden rule (Natural Rights – the positive ) do unto others only what …. etc.

    There is only on moral law that these two rules are derived from:

    • Obverse: – negative: impose no unwanted costs upon that which others have acted to create, obtain, and inventory, whether life, kin, mate, relation, property, norm, or institution.
    • Reverse: – positive: limit your actions to productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange, limited to externalities of the same criteria.

    In other words: “do no harm” is the one law of human cooperation. Because harm is what causes retaliation, breaks the peace, reduces trust, increases transaction and opportunity costs, and reduces the quality of life for everyone in the vicinity as a consequence.

    These laws are geographically, demographically, culturally, normatively, institutionally, traditionally, independent, and provide universal decidability in all matters of conflict, whether participants like it or not.

    What differs is the only the in-group contracts in the forms of property, laws, norms, traditions, institutions, territory and monuments. But within group this rule still applies.

    Ergo, you only listen to a command when its either in going to benefit you, or when ignoring or contradicting it will lead to your harm or punishment.

    Otherwise, there is no connection between commands and the only necessary laws: objective morality, natural law, and natural rights. Do no harm, seek no involuntary gain.

  • How Do I Obtain New Identity Documents?

    They are about 1–2K online. Good for non-border use. Call a local immigration lawyer, make an appointment, pay him, ask him how you get a driver’s license. That’s all you need. Once you have that you can order an online passport. As long as you don’t use them in airports or to cross borders it won’t matter. After living under a new identity long enough, with a bank account, go after a green card. zillions of illegals do it.
