WHY? THE FALLACY OF NON AGGRESSION AS JUSTIFICATION.
Why would you develop an ethics of non-aggression rather than an ethic of non-theft, for a philosophical framework that purports to reduce all right to property rights, for some reason other than legitimizing deception and forbidding retaliation for deception?
You see, cosmopolitanism is merely a philosophical framework for justificationism.

POST-DEMOCRATIC PATRIOTISM: THE ARISTOCRATIC CONTRACT
I don’t like the word patriot, because it suggests fealty to church or state. Instead: the obligation of every man who accepts the aristocratic contract is to deny power to any and all over any and all.
In this sense patriotism is impossible for members of the aristocracy because it implies a moral choice rather than a necessary contractual obligation to all other members of the aristocratic corporation.

RESTORING LIBERTY: VIOLENCE, TRUTH AND COMMONS
1) First I put VIOLENCE back into liberty. (reciprocal insurance and militia)
2) Then I put TRUTH back into liberty. (propertarian ethics, testimonial truth, and operationalism).
3) Now I am putting the COMMONS back into liberty.

WHEN DID WE STOP ENFORCING TRUTH, AND WHY?
When did we, the aristocracy, stop enforcing truth telling at the point of a sword? Seriously. When and why?
Did we hold truth as a life or death standard only between ourselves?
Did we extend the franchise without extending the requirement for truth telling?
Sigh. We thought it was just property ownership that was required. But property ownership requires truth telling.
We didn’t understand that universal enfranchisement meant opening the pandora’s box of lies.
Or is it worse, in that we could profit from lying? I can’t find that evidence. What I find evidence of, is that the liars found profit in lying to one another.

So you see, with “truth” and with them as liars, we get to flip our altruistic punishment completely around.
So this is the moral high ground that we need. And unlike the 1890-1930 period, where they could only offer fear, we can demonstrate evidence.
Karma is a bitch.
You cant fool enough of the people long enough.

WISHFUL THINKING IN ARGUMENT IS MORAL DECEPTION?

TRUST VS TRUTH
(profound)
Lets contrast the golden and silver rules with trust and truth. And lets start out stating the unintuitive: that the Nazarene got it wrong: we should not do unto others as we would want done unto us. Because that is implicitly authoritarian once you realize it means you set the rules of cooperation, not the other person. It’s actually an incredibly selfish strategy to build a culture upon. It actually insidious.
Instead, we get a very different society if we use the principle **do not unto others that which they would not have done unto them** from the Anglo Saxon tradition. These are the not identical prescriptions they appear to be at first blush. The Nazarene’s is authoritarian metaphor couched as charity, and the second is libertarian (in the Protestant sense – meaning: aristocratic egalitarian), stated honestly.
The same can be said for emphasizing TRUST rather than TRUTH. You cannot mandate trust. It is a description of an an experience and an effect. But what is the cause? We know that the result is the extension of in-group trust to out-group members. Sure. But what do we do to cause us to extend trust to out-group members?
We speak the truth.
Worse, emphasizing trust puts the requirement on the other, and never on you. Truth telling puts the requirement for trust building upon you.
So, when we refer to ‘the high trust society’ the correct description is “the people who tell the truth”. And when we refer to the low trust society, the correct description is “the people who don’t tell the truth.” Or more precisely: “the people who lie.”
Do you see how different that is?
I thought so.

EVOLUTION OF AN IDEA IS DIFFERENT FROM USE OF AN IDEA
Just because we evolved like this:
Trust->Property->Common-Law->Prosperity
Doesn’t mean we cant re-evolve like this:
Property->Common-law->Trust->Prosperity
