It doesn’t take many men to make something ‘strong’ enough to alter the status quo.Jan 17, 2019, 12:50 PMKenny SlbMan sometimes that is a hard pill to swallow. Sometimes I see relationships that are not reciprocal and that makes me angry. But also it puts me in a more k-selected mindset which is amazing (choosing only reciprocal “deals” that would work the longest).Jan 17, 2019, 1:22 PMZach Matto”Reciprocal or not” is the best summation I’ve seen yet. Good mantra.Jan 17, 2019, 4:53 PMRob McMullanYupJan 17, 2019, 5:32 PMAyham NedalHeydar Rashed

So basically propertarianism is reciprocity?

Just that?Jan 17, 2019, 6:49 PMAyham NedalIf so then from where does “the completion of the scientific method” comes into play, let alone those concepts “operationalism”, “testimonialism”, and “agency” come?Jan 17, 2019, 6:49 PMSean Hernandezi tried a version of this approach on Vice news. john oliver sent copies of his book about gay kids to mike pence’s wife’s school that is openly anti-gay. i simply said ” i support 100% propaganda that turns people gay and i’m proud of john oliver for this. i hope he gets as much pro gay propaganda out to you libs and turns you all gay. i’m 100% in support of people being gay. ” they had no response. they thought that the gay arrows only go one way.Jan 17, 2019, 8:13 PMKieran SchrieverWhy would you try to reduce it down to ‘propertarianism is just reciprocity’Jan 17, 2019, 8:14 PMStephen Murraysome guyJan 17, 2019, 8:37 PMElena SmithAdrian Shephard usJan 18, 2019, 10:06 AM

I feel like I can finally start sharing some of the message when it’s packaged this way.Jan 17, 2019, 10:36 PMShane Markwhat does civil wrongs have to do with the scientific methodJan 18, 2019, 10:28 AMCurt DoolittleThat’s the cool part.Jan 18, 2019, 12:12 PMShane MarkI have a law degree and i still don’t understand.Jan 19, 2019, 5:31 AMCurt Doolittle^If it wasn’t excruciatingly difficult, someone would have done it before me. Instead, a host of intellectuals during the late 19th through mid 20th tried and failed. But since that time we’ve had computer science (existential) instead of mathematics (ideal), and cognitive science (existential) instead of psychology (pseudoscience), and economics (real) instead of sociology (pseudoscience). There are lots of shoulders of giants to stand upon in the late 20th and early 21st when I’m working.

It’s possible to create strictly constructed law on one hand that is testable by computer software, and a chain of dependency that is testable by computer, and to provide the law, prosecutors, lawyers, judges, and the jury with a set of tests for truthful speech – which cannot be performed by computer.

Law of tort is quite good really. Legislation and regulation are reasonably good in the anglo (common law) tradition. We just need these tools, universal standing in matters of the commons, thereby ending disintermediation by the state, and providing a via negativa means of competition (court) in addition to the via-positiva means of competition (markets).

Now, increase the definition and scope of property (see property-in-toto) to the full suite of things that people act to invest in producing whether by expenditure of forgone opportunity, or expenditure of time, effort, or resources, (including manners, ethics, morals, norms, commons, capital et all) and it is very hard for special interests (and usurpers) to survive. And even more so, nearly impossible to seek rents (more on that another time.)

Eradicate false and ir-reciprocal commercial, financial, economic, political, and informational speech in the commons. Restore libel and slander. Prohibit baiting into moral hazard in the law. Replace copyright with creative commons. Eliminate consumer interest (yes, really, and it’s not hard). Privatize (contract out) all bureaucratic functions. Replace private pensions with public (they aren’t possible anyway in current and future economies)…. Much more but all of it is rather ordinary.Jan 19, 2019, 9:01 AMNow it’s ready. 😉
