(FB 1547573280 Timestamp) Yes, it is more work to speak truthfully. It is more work to produce that engage in theft, and more work to engage in theft than parasitism. With every increase in the incremental suppression of parasitism by ‘means I can get away with because the exchange is voluntary’ those people who create parasitism object. When you disagree with me all you are saying is that you want to preserve your means of parasitism, or your means of exporting costs to the commons, just like any other thief or fraud.

(FB 1547486679 Timestamp) IT’S ALL JUST IMPLEMENTING IT NOW. Watching the talk with Augustus Invictus and Richard Heathen and realizing that it’s obvious to me that propertarianism is ‘COMPLETED’. I was talking to someone this morning who said “You are finished. I can see it in your eyes. you aren’t struggling to find words or means of communicating ideas any longer.” Nick said this a bit ago so I assume he noticed first. But yeah, the cake is baked. Fork in it. Complete. Ready to go. Ready for way.

(FB 1547744006 Timestamp) PROPERTY IN TOTO, RECIPROCITY, AND THE NECESSITY OF VIOLENCE by Lucas Cort (via brandon hayes) (curtd: this is flawless) Property in toto (demonstrated property) provides a measurement of what humans value. Demonstration of value occurs in human action, when individuals or groups show a willingness and ability to defend said value. The use of violence ensures retention of property and acts as a deterrent against future violations. People can choose the strategies of cooperation, predation, parasitism, or non cooperation. Cooperation with strict adherence to reciprocity being the optimal strategy for long term productive interactions. Reciprocity entails non imposition of costs against others property in toto, through productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfers. Violations of reciprocity lead to conflict due to asymmetrical imposition of costs. Predation being short term and parasitism being a medium term strategy. Retaliation cycles ensue violations, revealing the need for third party assessment and resolution, including enforcement between parties. This gives rise to the discovery and evolution of Law, an insurer of last resort (polity/government), and the militia. These institutions and discoveries are created and upheld through the use of violence, creating disincentives for violations of reciprocity. Through this incremental domestication of man we maintain group cooperation and reap the surpluses that ensue. Resulting in the rapid evolution and competitive edge of the society at large.

(FB 1548087791 Timestamp) THE VIA NEGATIVA COST OF THE RELIGION OF THE LAW —“Law by Natural Law of Reciprocity consists as a set of ideas of falsification which do not require belief in, testimony to, or action according to, one or more falsehoods as a cost of inclusion and use, but rather demands that you cannot do this, no matter what, and this requirement acts as the cost for inclusion and use.”—Curtus Maximus (perfect argument)

(FB 1548172938 Timestamp) “TERNARY LOGIC OF COOPERATION” In propertarianism, we don’t start with morality. We start with needing an incentive not to engage in parasitism and predation which for the strong is the preferable state of affairs. The only incentive possible is reciprocity because of the long term gains of scale. Everyone else starts with the presumption that cooperation at any cost is a good. We start with the presumption that only reciprocity is a good. We are right and they are parasites.
