Natural Law of the West > Laws of Men, Sharia of Islam, Talmud of Jews.
Natural Law results in man’s transcendence into gods. Abrahamism, Paul, and Muhammed results in landlessness and parasitism (jews) or mindlessness and parasitism (islam). The god of Abraham is the devil.

WHY DO WE NEED BULLSHIT AND LIES?
Eh. ya know. I work on natural law. Propertarianism is a just formal logic for the expression of natural law. And everything I say ties back to natural law, and so I go on religion about jesus and a few people sort of get some part of it but the point is simple: jesus was, in primitive verse, stating natural law. the rest is all bullshit and lies to get you to submit to natural law.
why do we need bullshit and lies?

By Brian Barr
—“Property rights are for farmers / human rights are for migrants (hunters) – when it comes to economics these are both reflex propositions in response to defection or tragedy of the commons. The problem we have today is past that of even managing the despoiling of commons: the ecosystem has become a people-system and the main problem with this is that people can occupy every niche but they don’t eat each other. This is unnatural/unsustainable, so that it’s escalating – more effort is called for from everyone in a kind of hysteria, and there is no proper instinctive response in place.”—
The first sentence is exceptional. I can’t edit the rest down, so I’ll say that absent natural competitors, we have *YET* no institutional means to constrain humans from overconsumption.
Hence, markets in everything and constraint on reproduction to those who are productive.

FOR NEWCOMERS
I understand the frustration with the inaccessibility of Propertarianism (Natural Law) in its CURRENT FORM.
I am leading in the way we need leading. I am providing the anti-marx (anti-abrahamism, anti platonism), and the ‘bible’ of western civilization- law beyond which no man or government may tread without suffering the pain of death.
Is it not a lot to ask of a man, alone, to be aristotle and alexander in the same flesh? I’m only human. And a bit of a hobbit at that.
If need be I’ll change uniforms, but at present, in my state of mind, I am doing what my people need most: creating their ‘book’.
I’ll create the book(bible), the judges(priests), and the school (discipline of natural law).
I would very much prefer someone else be alexander to my aristotle.
Why? As you age your understanding of war increases, but your physical and mental energy for it declines. I can write for another twenty years. I can fight for another five.
But time will take me. I can feel it. And it will take a generation or two to repair the damage of four.

Apr 09, 2017 6:01am RATIONAL SELF INTEREST by John Dow Assuming self-interest is rational, by punishing all non-reciprocating choices via law, acting in group interest becomes rational. I don’t care if you reciprocate by rational self-interest or as a result of high prosociality, as long as you reciprocate. Assuming the maximization of group fitness has higher potential yields to individual fitness than any other factor, and assuming the maximization of individual fitness is desired, this is rational self-interest.

The people who matter?
When it comes time for war – the war to demand restoration of Natural Law, or to wreak heady murder in its stead – will you fight with me brother?
The rest is just prattle of schoolgirls.

(You’re just dimmer. Hence we must rule you. Of course we must rule morally, and defensively. If we rule you by natural law, then that is purely defensive, and purely moral, just as non-aggression is purely defensive, just as non-imposition is purely defensive. But the smart must rule the dim or they will be defeated by the dim, and mankind will suffer.)
