ITS LAW NOT ECONOMICS – THE FALSE DICHOTOMY
We fail at communism and a hundred million die.
We fail at capitalism, create cronyism, and a civilization dies.
We fail at natural law and give birth to capitalism and communism and everything in between.
If we succeed at natural law, we create markets not capitalism.
And our civilization will flourish – yet again.

A Few Insights
1 – Sovereignty (handling exceptions) is the cheapest form of government. It is not the most profitable in the short term, but the cheapest to operate, with the lowest overhead.
2 – Christianity is successful under Aryanism(Markets), because it produces incentives identical to high trust market incentives.
3 – I’ve been working on ‘Man as the Measure’ for some time, but over the past few weeks have made a fairly big leap in progress, and I’ve tried the argument out on a few people and it seems to click. One of the examples I use is ‘series’ which create a means of measuring qualitative statements. This continues the general proposition that Testimonial grammar and propertarian ethics produce a language of measurements: testable statements.

WE DO NOT ASK PERMISSION OF MAN TO RULE, WE ASK FORGIVENESS OF THE GODS IF WE FAIL. You do not ask permission to rule by natural law. You overthrow the current order. You rule. You profit from it. People Prosper. Agency Emerges. Man Transcends.
