What can you tell me about Curt Doolittle’s work on truth telling and deceit?

RESPONSE

Curt Doolittle’s focus on truth-telling and deceit is a fundamental aspect of his philosophical framework, Propertarianism. Let’s delve into this in more detail, and I’ll use some analogies to help make the concepts more accessible.

Truth-Telling and Deceit in Propertarianism

The Concept of Verbal Property: In Doolittle’s view, truthfulness is not just a moral choice but a property right issue. Imagine your thoughts and knowledge as a personal library. When someone tells you the truth, they’re effectively giving you a book that accurately describes the world. Deceit, on the other hand, is like someone sneaking a false or misleading book into your library. Doolittle argues that this act of deceit violates your ‘property’ – in this case, your right to accurate information.

The Impact of Deceit: Deceit, according to Doolittle, isn’t just a personal violation but has broader social implications. Let’s use the analogy of a market: if a market is flooded with counterfeit money, the value of real currency is undermined, and the market’s efficiency and trust are damaged. Similarly, in a society where deceit is rampant, trust – the ‘currency’ of social interactions – is devalued, leading to inefficiencies and societal harm.

Legal and Ethical Implications: Doolittle extends this concept to legal and ethical realms. Just as theft of physical property is legally actionable, he proposes that deceit, as a theft of informational property, should also have legal consequences. In practice, this would mean stricter enforcement against misinformation, fraud, and perhaps even certain forms of advertising and political speech.

Challenges and Criticisms: It’s important to note that while the idea of truth-telling as a property right is compelling, it also poses challenges. For instance, determining the boundary between acceptable persuasion and deceit can be tricky. Also, the practicality of legally enforcing truthfulness, especially in subjective matters, is a topic of debate.

Your Understanding of Related Concepts
Now, to better tailor further explanation, could you share your familiarity with the following concepts?

Information Theory: How familiar are you with the concept of information as a form of property or asset?
Legal Philosophy: Do you have an understanding of how laws are applied to non-physical entities, such as intellectual property or speech?
Ethical Implications of Speech: What is your level of understanding regarding the ethical implications of speech, including truthfulness and deception?

Fascinating

RESPONSE
Curt Doolittle is a contemporary philosopher and social scientist known for his work on the philosophy of law, ethics, economics, and political strategy. He’s the founder of the Propertarian Institute and is most recognized for developing Propertarianism, a framework for understanding the western legal and ethical tradition.

To understand Doolittle’s work, it’s helpful to have some grounding in a few key areas: the philosophy of law, ethics, and socio-political theory. Let’s start with a technical breakdown of Propertarianism and then I’ll check your familiarity with these prerequisite areas.

Propertarianism: A Technical Overview
Natural Law: At the core of Doolittle’s philosophy is a focus on natural law, which he defines as a set of laws derived from observable reality and human nature. This is in contrast to positive law, which is created by humans. Think of natural law as the law of gravity – it exists regardless of human acknowledgment, whereas positive law is like traffic rules, created by society.

Property Rights: Doolittle extends the concept of property beyond physical objects to include intangible assets like one’s time, relationships, and even truths. He argues that violations of these ‘properties’, like deception or exploitation, are immoral.

Truth-Telling and Deceit: A central tenet in Propertarianism is the emphasis on truthful speech. Doolittle posits that deceit, even if non-harmful or non-theft related, violates property rights as it impacts one’s access to accurate information, which is considered a form of property.

Decidability in Law: He advocates for an empirical approach in law, where legal decisions should be based on what he terms as ‘decidability’. This means decisions should be made based on empirical evidence and logical coherence, rather than abstract principles or moral relativism.

Socio-Political Implications: Doolittle’s philosophy has socio-political ramifications. He promotes a form of governance that emphasizes the protection of property (in its broad definition) and advocates for a restructuring of current legal and political systems to align with natural law principles.

Checking Prerequisite Knowledge
To understand these concepts, it would be helpful to gauge your familiarity with the following areas:

Philosophy of Law: Are you familiar with different legal philosophies, especially the distinction between natural law and positive law?
Ethics and Morality: Do you have a background in ethical theories, particularly in the context of property rights and truthfulness?
Socio-Political Theory: What is your understanding of socio-political structures and theories, especially those relating to governance and legal systems?

In general yes. His insight that kings are owners and politicians are renters, and that this is an inevitable and exceptionaless consequence is correct.
However, instead of natural law, anglo law, and science, Hoppe uses marxist argument, and jewish ethics and seeks to replicate the german free cities – which isn’t possible.
However his resulting method of logic – propertarian as it is, reducing all questions of social science to question of property (even if it’s the wrong defintion of property: intersubjective vs demonstrated interest) is a profound insight, and he’s the thinker I took it from and developed.

I wouldn’t have solved the problems I did without his insights. And to some degree his humor and charming personality which I find wonderful.

(Even though he doesn’t care for me very much… 😉 )

Only “Above the law in the restoration of the law”.
We don’t recall (because we are kept ignorant) that kings were held by traditional law for their legitimacy. The british monarchy has the proper law, they are just too afraid to use it, because unlike the USA, parliament is sovereign, not the constitution, and not the people. The british can in fact vote, but they are still serfs under those they elect.

In the USA as long as we have constitution and guns, we are sovereign, and the constitution declares our sovereignty, not the government’s. And we must protect that sovereignty at all costs for ourselves, our progenty, our civilization, and frankly, for mankind.

Yes. 😉

I’m not kidding when I say that solving the hard problem of truth wasn’t anywhere near as hard as solving the problem of talking about it so that at least some people could understand it.

At present I’m trying to do the same thing with why only three spatial dimensions…
