    —“The concept of individual property rights was constructed by the bourgeoisie/organizing-class as justification for permission from monarchs to seek opportunities (initially at the great expense of the aristocracy, and later at the expense of the commons).

    The concept of human rights was constructed (post-war) as marketing to the decolonized ‘developing world,’ as a means of seeking allies against the threat of communism.

    The problem, in both cases, is that we believe our own propaganda.”—James Augustus Berens

  • DECIDABILITY IN ETHICS AND MORALITY All NECESSARY cross-group ethical, and moral

    DECIDABILITY IN ETHICS AND MORALITY

    All NECESSARY cross-group ethical, and moral propositions are decidable by reciprocity (natural law).

    All NORMATIVE in group ethical and moral propositions are decidable by natural law if they are not decidable by normative means.

    All PREFERENTIAL interpersonal ethical and moral propositions are decidable by normative means, if they are not decidable by personal means. If not decidable by normative means, then by natural law.

    LEGiSLATIVE AND REGULATORY LAW has absolutely nothing to do with whether a proposition is ethical or moral – AT ALL. This is despite the fact that common law evolved, religous law evolved, state law evolved, and legislative law evolved, to resolve interpersonal, inter familial, inter tribal, inter class, and inter national conflicts.

    Most questions of ethics are the result of nothing other than conflation of that which is local and different into that which is universal as an attempt to claim authority for one’s personal, normative, or national preferences.

  • “Property norms are about superior claims. The current condition of the “unused”

    —“Property norms are about superior claims. The current condition of the “unused” land is subsidized at gun point by victims of tax theft. Those victims therefore have the best objective link to its use. An open border policy is therefore the forceful redistribution of resources from those with superior property claims to those with inferior property claims.”—Jared Howe

  • If I we can get 5-10 of us who can prosecute, and if we can get 100 of you to us

    If I we can get 5-10 of us who can prosecute, and if we can get 100 of you to use propertarian reasoning in arguments on the web – that’s all it will take – we will change the world. If we have 300 than know the basic principles they are enough.

    We can overturn the century of lies.

    And then we call up our soldiers….

    THE ONLY MEANS OF CONSTRUCTING THE SEQUENCE: SOVEREIGNTY, LIBERTY, FREEDOM, AND SUBSIDY

    Sovereignty can exist if and only if we reciprocally agree to insure one another against impositions of costs upon our property-in-toto by non-substitutable martial service against outgroups and deference to resolving our ingroup differences by courts of natural law of non imposition.

    If we do so, then Sovereignty exists for the ruling class, liberty is available to the middle class, freedom to the working class, and subsidy to the dependent class by virtue of that rule of law. And as a consequence of the rule of law between individuals, mates, and classes, markets can be constructed for the production of reproduction; goods services and information; commons; and rule.

    There is only one source of Sovereignty, Liberty, Freedom, and Subsidy: the organized application of violence to insure one another against impositions of costs, by a combination of martial service, and the use of Common, Judge Discovered, Natural Law of non imposition, under universal standing and universal application, before a jury of our peers, the number of which reflects the scale of the violation.

    We had it right all along – and we blew it with democracy, pseudoscientific anthropology, psychology, sociology, economics and politics.

    Thankfully we can easily fix it.

    Sovereignty(benefit) and Heroism (payment)

    Common, Judge Discovered, Natural Law of non imposition.

    Nomocracy, jury, universal standing and applicability.

    And Markets in Everything.

    —“By identifying and suppressing the immoral, the moral can take any form.

    Whereas defining the moral, the definition restricts the moral (which is kinda immoral).

    Much like law, you are free do do as you please as long as it is not illegal – to do otherwise compels action.”— Bill Joslin

    Cooperation boils down to property transfer?

    Via negativa.

    It’s more that the violations of cooperation boil down to involuntary transfer of property.

    We cannot imagine all the ways we can cooperate.

    We can however, catalog all the ways we had found to irritate. 😉

    By avoiding the false and bad and ugly we leave room for all varieties of true, good, and beautiful

    We have been programming ourselves forever for finding cooperation and rallying cooperation (via positiva). The problem of calorie shortage reinforces the value of that strategy.

    But we are not living in an era of calorie shortage where we must IDENTIFY opportunities, and instead, in an era where we CHOOSE FROM plentiful opportunities by eliminating error, bias, wishful thinking, and deceit.

    I think this change from rallying to criticism is very important. A very important change in thought.
