    PSYCHOHISTORY vs NATURAL LAW and HUMAN LAW

    (reposted for archival purposes)

    Natural Law is that which is necessary for cooperation.

    But there are other Human Laws of behavior. Whether we categorize these as natural laws as well is a matter of demarcation for the purpose of clarity.

    I tend to avoid all psychologism, and I see psychohistory as damaged by freudianism.

    But the concept that there are regular laws or cycles to human behavior seems a fertile ground for Human Laws.

    I believe all these human laws can be expressed as property, acquisition, defense, and retaliation, and thereby escape the universalism, monopoly, and totalitarianism of freudian framing.

    As such I see the basis of what is called psychohistory as correctable and arguable as objective and distributed, rather than subjective and divergent from fallacious monopoly norms.

    When David introduced me to the subject I was only thinking in terms of incentives of each generation in the generational cycle.

    But we can combine human, cultural, generational, and technological incentives into a hierarchical set of dependencies that should at some point of precision produce a predictable (within limits) set of trends in human behavior.

    At present I think we are coalescing on the general theory that man’s behavior actually changes very little, that he adapts to incentives, and that all we have done is increase the information content of collective memory until we are able to produce general rules of action.

    As an individual, you are nothing but an expensive life form unable to sustain your own life. Your actions and your opinions mean nothing. It is when we individuals act cooperatively to create the commons of liberty that we work to create what we call “individualism”: the allocation of property and discretionary use of it, to the individual, such that we make best use of all available knowledge at the lowest friction due to risk. The method by which we create individualism is the use of organized violence to prohibit all alternatives other than individualism. We prohibit all alternatives by natural law, rule of law, universal standing.

    Property rights, individualism, and a condition of liberty, are created by the actions of man, in groups. They do not exist otherwise.

    Everyone fights. No one quits. There is nothing in liberty that permits free riding.

    NATURAL LAW UNDER UNIVERSAL STANDING CONSTITUTES A COMPETITIVE GOVERNMENT – WITHOUT THE NEED FOR POLYLOGISM

    (reposted from elsewhere for archival purposes)

    As far as I know, natural law, like physical law is a monopoly – in other words, there is only one ‘true’ law that we must discover.

    So I would prefer rule of law, just as I prefer scientists to not create pseudoscience (pseudo physical law), i prefer judges not to create pseudo moral science ( pseudo-natural-law.)

    With an independent judiciary, universal standing (everyone has the right to sue in matters of commons), and rule of law (every individual is subject to the same natural law without exception), I do not see how that is not competition. Competition in the market for truth.

    Conversely, a polylegal / polylogical system is undecidable, and if not identical, then at least one of the options consists of pseudo-science, if not error, bias, wishful thinking, or deceit.

    Furthermore, the more competition under the single law the ‘harder’ it becomes (more empirically falsified).

    I would prefer a market for the production of commons, consisting of different houses representing different interests, consisting of members chosen by lot, deciding on the preferability of submitted proposals. And that any contract acceptable, strictly constructed, that survives legal scrutiny (criticism) is possible. (ie: dissent rather than assent). The question is only how budget is allocated between the houses. The choices are rather obvious. Precisely because the lower classes have behavior to trade and the upper classes money. (which is the whole issue here).

    Under this structure one can be barred from using a commons he does not wish to pay for.

    There are a host of reasons behind this construction but I’m not going to list all of them right now.

    And the subject is very deep. And I don’t have time to get into it right now (My product is taking all my time.)

  • Q: Curt: Is The Occupation of Artist a Moral One?

    [O]bjective Morality consists of prohibitions on the impositions of costs upon others that would provide a disincentive for cooperation. We produce many norms that we treat as morality, just as we produce political commands that we treat as law. But norms are not necessarily moral, and legislation is rarely law. We also conflate heroism with morality. Which despite being two sides of the same coin, are opposites. Heroism consists in contributing to the commons. Morality in not privatizing the commons (parasitism). So an artist can be heroic or not, and an artist can be moral or not. He can be heroic and moral. He can be moral but not heroic. It is quite hard to be heroic and immoral. They tend to cancel each other out. So if an artist is not living parasitically, is producing art that is not immoral, and attempting to contribute to the commons, he is moral and heroic.

    We can no more make natural law than we can make physical law.

    We can only make contracts or issue commands.

    Contracts are possible by natural law.

    Commands are violations of natural law.

    Contracts demand performance, compensation, restitution.

    Commands require performance but escape compensation and permit no restitution.

  • Truth, Law of Information, Natural Law of Cooperation, Physical Law of the Universe

    (religion) (read it and weep) (advances on hume, damning of rawls) [O]ur brains are smaller than those of our distant ancestors. With the evolution of language we were able to learn more by shared calculation: in the form of thinking and reasoning than we could by our own observation, memory, and judgement. By communicating using language thereby transferring experience, we extended our perception, could make use of other’s memories. But with greater perception and less individual certainty of that perception, we needed a means of judgement. Or what we call, a method of decidability. With greater numbers, and a greater division of perception, we required even greater tools of judgement, of choice, of decidability. We needed ‘theories’ of the good. And those theories evolve in parallel with the extent of our cooperation: –From:– “What is good for me?” and “What is true enough for me to act?” using the criteria “So that what I gain by the action is preferable to not doing so.” –to:– 1) What is good for me : what is true enough for me to act without retaliation 2) What is good for me and good for us : what is true enough to encourage future cooperation? 3) What is good for me and good for us, and good for all those like us, so that we encourage cooperation of others, and do not encourage retaliation. 4) What is good for me, and good for us, and good for all mankind, so that we TRANSCEND. (Evolve). This problem of decidability is the origin of our myth, religion, and philosophy – and now science. These techniques Just as in ethics we start with mythical inspiration, and evolve into ethical virtues, to ethical rules, to ethical outcomes, we evolve from the actions of the individual, to the ethics of cooperation, to the ethics of cooperation at scale, to the ethics of transcendence of man. So, to confer decidability upon all, from the young child to the old and wise, the method of decision making must be accessible for use by everyone from the young child to the old and wise. A religion comprises a group evolutionary strategy, wherein members are taught metaphysical, mythical, traditional, and normative methods of decidability, by means of analogy. Traditional law codifies this strategy in prohibitions. Why prohibitions? Because we can all equally refrain from the violation of that group evolutionary strategy, but we cannot equally contribute to the furtherance of that group evolutionary strategy. We are equal in ability to not do, but we are not equal in ability to do. A group’s evolutionary strategy can be successful or unsuccessful in the persistence of the group – such as by being dependent upon local phenomenon that can change: the worship of the sun so logical in the agrarian era, is no longer so logical in an era of trade, or of industry, or of energy, or of information. A group’s evolutionary strategy can be successful but violate principle three: in that it encourages retaliation: murder, career thievery, Gypsy petty parasitism, Jewish organized and systemic parasitism, muslim invasion and raiding, Russian low trust propaganda and lying, and Chinese and European ‘Asymmetric Colonialism’. A groups evolutionary strategy can violate principle four by inhibiting transcendence – such as islam’s demand for respect and mandated ignorance – or a strategy can construct transcendence: Western Indo European Natural Law. A group’s evolutionary strategy can provide the minimum resistance to transcendence and the maximum possibility of transcendence: Truth telling law (Truth), Natural Law (cooperation), and physical law (correspondence), the incremental, total suppression of parasitism, under the Common Law. And genetic suppression by the incremental culling of the parasitic from the group by separation, sterilization, and hanging. And while we can perhaps tech these concepts to children through repetition, we cannot teach it to them as inspiration, without myth, ritual, tradition, and norm to persist it across generations, and to convey it to all those regardless of age and ability. That we require ‘religion’: myth, ritual and tradition, in narrative, literary form is a product of man’s intellectual evolution from innocent and ignorant child to jaded and experienced sage. But whether stated as religious narrative, reasoned moral argument, rational justification, strictly constructed law, ratio-scientific criticism or testimonial truth, the actions that result from the use of these forms of communication must produce correspondent results. So it is not the method of conveyance that we judge – since the method of argument is a measure of the speaker and the audience – but whether The only transcendent philosophy must be natural law of man and physical law of the universe, stated testimonially – the best that man’s words are able to state. And therefore the only transcendent religion is Testimonial Truth, The Natural Law of Cooperation, The Physical Law of Correspondence. All else is lie to obscure parasitism and predation, or it is error that not must be not tolerated, but corrected. If any mythological, reasonable, rational, ratio-scientific argument is incompatible with natural law, then it is merely an act of predation – an act of war – not a religion. Christianity and Indo European Paganism are compatible with Natural Law in the production of resulting behavior, as long as inbreeding is prohibited, tolerance for violation of natural law is limited, and the culling of the underclasses by expulsion, separation, incarceration, sterilization, and hanging is encouraged as necessary for the preservation of natural law and the achievement of transcendence. The Church may not preserve its dependents at the expense of natural law or at the expense of transcendence.
