    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CommonsCOMMONS IN PROPERTARIANISM:

    COMMONS – Originally, meaning Land or resources belonging to or affecting the whole of a community. More articulately: any form of property to which members of a group share an interests, but where that interest is obtained by an unspecified membership in the group rather than by explicit possession of title. I use this term to refer to physical property, normative commons, informal and formal institutions. The problem with commons is that without shares, even un-tradable shares, the ownership of the commons cannot be protected from confiscation by various means including immigration, conversion, propaganda, or political confiscation.

    That which we pay for either i) by contribution, or ii) by demonstration, or iii) by refraining from consumption and use.

    Unquantified, non-transferrable, non-monetizable shares in property ‘held in common’.

    a) Physical property: The territory, parks, ”ways” (roads), Water, Air, Resources

    b) Normative Property: manners, ethics, morals

    c) Informal Institutional Property: Rituals, Traditions, Myths, History, ie: Religion.

    d) Formal institutional property: people, organizations, processes, procedures: ie: Law.

    e) Artificial Property: (property created by fiat agreement) Intellectual Property.

    PROPERTY RIGHTS REGIMES

    —“In the short term, you have an impasse between property regimes.

    But in the long term, different property regimes compete for how well they cultivate the potential of what they already have. Those who make better use of their resources outcompete those who do not. This does not depend on declaring genocide, just the normal level of animosity that exists between any two neighboring peoples, which occasionally erupts into open conflict.

    This is how a certain regime of property rights came to dominate Europe in the premodern era, and something like this is how this regime continued to spread.

    Now perhaps you may prevail upon some country or two to allow inefficient use of resources, but ultimately this is a “conspiracy of doves” and is liable to fail in the long run.

    And it would make sense if some creature who has not gone extinct would be loath to adopt such a strategy. Conversely, any other creature who wants to avoid extinction should also avoid such a strategy, even those at a disadvantage.

    Even in this best case you are professing a strategy which is unlikely to become an ESS. Which in my view is the same as being wrong, although many differ with me on this.

    The traditional alternative to avoid extinction in this situation is to convert to whichever universalistic religion the dominant property regime adheres to.”— Adam Voight

  • It is good to concern your self with being knowledgeable. It is good to concern

    It is good to concern your self with being knowledgeable. It is good to concern yourself with being strong. But people who concern themselves with cunning should be killed quickly before they do harm. Wit is just deceit. The only moral exchange is fully informed, productive, voluntary exchange. Anything else is just delaying the violence.
