    (Very interesting to watch people’s ability to use propertarianism – the logic of cooperation – expand far beyond the promise of praxeology – the logic of action. Equally interesting: seeing Hoppe abandon German rationalism in his most recent work – and to at least acknowledge allodial property – originated in violence and aristocratic reciprocal insurance. Equally interesting that MI continues to have so much trouble with funding. So I think I was right: the rothbardians jumped the shark and we are in a new era of liberty. – Cheers)

    http://www.propertarianism.com/defining-propertarianism/—” THOSE WHO FIGHT

    SOLDIER: A Soldier fights for enfranchisement/nationalism/imperialism/pride/ – he is an employee or a slave.

    MERCENARY: A Mercenary is a professional who fights for goods (money or other things of value) – he is a businessman.

    WARRIOR – A Warrior is a professional, who fights for honor and to defend ones property / or loved ones–

    – Joseph Santaniello

    PROPERTARIAN CATEGORIES OF PROPERTY

    I. Several (Personal) Property

    Personal property: “Things an individual has a Monopoly Of Control over the use of.”

    – Physical Body

    – Actions and Time

    – Memories, Concepts and Identities: tools that enable us to plan and act. In the consumer economy this includes brands.

    – Several Property: Those things we claim a monopoly of control over.

    II. Artificial Property

    Artificial Property: “Can a group issue specific rights to members?” This topic is dependent again, upon the ORIGIN question above. If markets are made, then the shareholders of the market may create artificial property of any type that they desire. Including but not limited to:

    – Shares in property: Recorded And Quantified Shareholder Property (claims for partial ownership)

    – Monopoly Property such as intellectual property. (grants of monopoly within a geography)

    – Trademarks and Brands (prohibitions on fraudulent transfers within a geography).

    III. Interpersonal (Relationship) Property

    Cooperative Property: “relationships with others and tools of relationships upon which we reciprocally depend.”

    – Mates (access to sex/reproduction)

    – Children (genetic reproduction)

    – Familial Relations (security)

    – Non-Familial Relations (utility)

    – Consanguineous Relations (tribal and family ties)

    – Racial property (racial ties)

    – Organizational ties (work)

    – Knowledge ties (skills, crafts)

    – Status and Class (reputation)

    IV. Institutional (Community) Property

    Institutional Property: “Those objects into which we have invested our forgone opportunities, our efforts, or our material assets, in order to aggregate capital from multiple individuals for mutual gain.”

    – Informal (Normative) Institutions: Our norms: manners, ethics and morals. Informal institutional property is nearly impossible to quantify and price. The costs are subjective and consists of forgone opportunities.

    – Formal (Procedural) Institutions: Our institutions: Religion (including the secular religion), Government, Laws. Formal institutional property is easy to price. costs are visible. And the productivity of the social order is at least marginally measurable.

  • HAS HANS HOPPE COME AROUND TO ACCEPTING VIOLENCE AS THE SOURCE OF PROPERTY? One

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allodial_titleSO HAS HANS HOPPE COME AROUND TO ACCEPTING VIOLENCE AS THE SOURCE OF PROPERTY?

    One of the central arguments of libertarianism that I am trying to reframe, is the origin of property (violence), and the need for ongoing violence. But it has been difficult battling libertine and german rationalism’s hold on people.

    Hoppe comes around. I think?

    A militia organizes violence.

    Violence creates property.

    We embody property in law.

    We adjudicate that law with judges and juries.

    All organizations need leaders to resolve deductively undecidable propositions.

    Kings provide such decision making.

  • Moral Judgements

    de.aristocratia

    [M]oral judgement is not open to question any more than mathematical formulae are open to question. Either equations balance, and proofs can be constructed or they cannot. Either fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange, free of externality was performed, or it was not. And in both cases, either information exists sufficient for decidability, or it does not. But no questions are undecidable if the information is present.

    YESTERDAY’S VIDEOS : 1- RECAP 2014 IN PROPERTARIANISM

    The Year in Review.

    Starting in December of last year I came out and started the reformation of libertarianism, and restoring it to its aristocratic heritage, by laundering the cosmopolitan verbalisms that rothbard and others have inserted

    1) APRIORISM: While I can’t quite do it elegantly yet, I have put a permanent bullet in apriorism as practiced by the cosmopolitans (mises, rothbard popper etc) and continentals. (Hoppe and all the germans). I don’t much care if that zombie idea dies, but I have ended its life at least.

    2) NAP/IVP: I have put a permanent silver bullet in the NAP/IVP. That vampire will just take a while to die. And I have forever put an end to Rothbard’s ghetto ethics.

    3) PRAXEOLOGY I have put a permanent silver bullet in Misesian Praxeology as he stated it and Rothbard expanded and abused it – And demonstrate that mises merely failed to develop economic operationalism.

    4) EMPIRICISM IN ECONOMICS: in particular in the statement that economics is deductive rather than empirical, and operational.

    5) TESTIMONIAL TRUTH : I have defined existential truth as testimonial truth – a minor improvement over performative truth, and used the term “testimonial” in order to both distinguish verbalism of performative truth, from the operationalism of testimonial truth, and to invoke the idea of jury that is central to our western evolutionary strategy.

    6) THE TRUTH-SPEAKING METHOD ISN’T LIMITED TO SCIENCE – And I have shown that the scientific method is mislabeled, merely because it is the method scientists developed due to their incentives, but is in fact the universal method of truth-speaking.

    7) THE MERGING OF SCIENCE AND PHILOSOPHY AS TRUTH SPEAKING – And I think I have or will have, restated western philosophy as the attempt to speak the truth in testimony. And that from that perspective philosophy and science are indistinguishable. We can practice philosophy that reduces our ability to speak truthfully; or increases our ability to lie; or increases our ability to speak truthfully.

    Note: today it occurs to me that all these nonsensical philosophical systems are interstitial means of inquiry that are no longer to be dismissed, but which tell us nothing unless the theories produced by them can be operationally articulated (constructed).

    8) EVOLUTIONARY STRATEGIES AND TRUTH: Evolutionary Strategies: and I have touched upon the uses of truth as reflective of evolutionary strategies. The weaponization of truth, of the commons, of the family.

    9) THE GENETIC DEFECT OF ALTRUISM – I think I have touch upon the fact that our altruism unless we are isolated on an island, or walled beyond a fortress of mountains, is an uncompetitive strategy that cannot resist aggression and weaponized family and reproduction. It is our vulnerability.

    10) FAMILY POLICY VS INDIVIDUAL LAW – I forgot to add to my list for 2914, the concept that law must be constructed for individuals, yet state policy must be constructed for families.

    11) LAW AND VELOCITY OF PROGRESS.

    12) INTER-TEMPORAL INFORMATION SYSTEM – voluntary exchange as an information system. Just as prices form an information system

    Cheers.
