    What? You expect, as a NEWB, to jump into Propertarianism (Natural Law) like you do into some democratic-era ideology?

    Sorry kid. Not gonna happen. It’s pretty hard.

    If you were going to take another form of advanced mathematics, take a course in advanced programming, or take an advanced course in the writing of international laws, then you might have some idea of the work it takes.

    Most people lurk for three to six months, and it seems like the very smartest people need a year, and on average two or more years.

    So when I talk about religion you have no idea what I’m talking about.

    But like every other idiot you assume because you feel passionately about religion, or politics, or morality, that you have some understanding of it.

    Nope.

    Learn something. This is the most profound advancement in thought since empiricism. We completed the Enlightenment. Just deal with it.

    Natural law = Formal Logic + operational language and grammar + changes in state of capital + deconstruction of non-formal discourse into negotiations for changes in capital.

    It’s a combination of economics + finance + accounting + programming + law.

  • The contract of the initiatic brotherhood of warriors. Heroism: the redirection

    The contract of the initiatic brotherhood of warriors. Heroism: the redirection of violence to the production of commons. The militia for the defense of the commons. Small, skilled, numbers, Advanced Technology, and Maneuver Warfare – keeping enemies at a distance. The common law of sovereign men (natural law), and the Jury. All of which require reporting: testimonial truth: empirical, observable, description, of existential events.

    That is the origin of the west and its difference from the rest. Everything that is unique and superior in the west derives from that sequence of dependencies. And the slow manufacture of agency, and then sovereignty, through demonstration of agency, in markets for association, cooperation, reproduction, production, production of commons, production of polities, and production of justice and defense.

    Everything else is the church, state, academy taking credit for what is the product of truth, contract, and trade among men who personally insure themselves and one another against any alternative other than trade.

    The church is a disicipline of liars. The west evolved differently from the rest in spite of the lies of the church, by preserving the aristocratic religion of western man.

    heroism, militia, meritocracy, sovereignty, truth, and jury.

    ***If you cannot speak truthfully and with warranty, you may not speak it in the commons. For the commons is not under your ownership. It is something we share. And we will not allow you to destroy the works of nature: land, water, air, or the works of man: life, capital, institutions, and information. And therefore we shall demand your warranty of information, just as we demand that of your services, products, and physical actions.***

    ***Love thyself, love thy kin, then thy neighbor, then mankind.

    Because it is through this love we redistribute and bear the costs of persistence, and through constraint of our own against the parasitism upon others that we bear the costs of transcendence.***

    The proceeds from cooperation are so much more rewarding than non cooperation, that in all but the rarest of circumstances, an individual cannot survive without cooperation. Yet, just as one is limited by the shortest time, the least effort, his current knowledge, the surest returns and the lowest risk – one is also limited in his value in cooperation to others, and their value to others, at the various scales of production that each input and output of the organization of people who currently survive prevail.

    RATIONAL SELF INTEREST

    by Joel Davis

    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.

    Let’s get this straight. The only reason to talk to you and not kill, enslave, or punish you, is if we engage in conversation limited to perfect reciprocity: meaning transparent, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange of information, free of imposition of costs by externality.

    That means if you engage in ridicule, accusation, avoidance, obscurantism, in order to impose or justify an imposition of costs upon me or others, it is preferable prey upon you honestly, truthfully, by means of violence than it is preferable to be preyed upon you by means of stupidity, ignorance, bias, or deceit.

    Why? First question of ethics: why don’t I kill you and take your stuff? (and kill your sons, and rape and enslave your wives and daughters).

    We are past the point of negotiating with the left.

    You are dead.

    Series:

    1) Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have done unto you.

    2) Silver Rule: Do not unto others are you would not have done unto you.

    3) Bronze Rule: Do unto others as they have done unto you.

    (there is an iron rule out there somewhere on the edge of intuition that I dont’ have time to mine at the moment.)

    CTHULU SWIMS LEFT WITHOUT A CURRENT OF NATURAL LAW

    Any system of decidability that is not explicitly right, meaning meritocratic, non-discretionary, and fully calculable, will, by increment, evolve into explicitly left, meaning corrupt, fully discretionary, and fully incalculable.

    Natural law is explicitly right, meaning, meritocratic, non-discretionary, and fully calculable. It cannot swim left. And as far as I know it is the only institutional means of preventing Cthulu swimming left.
