It’s “Self determination by self determined means”.
It’s convenient to eliminate the second assertion to reverse the entirety of the meaning of the statement.

You may not know the difference between aristocracy (natural) and nobility (appointed by the state). Even though these terms are often conflated, they mean different things and they often overlapped.
Second Doolittle “De Dolietta” is a Norman name from the coast east of Mont St Michele, and my ancestors were literate involved in political decisions and in written records before the norman conquest. My family history takes eight volumes with additional supplements. And on my grandmother’s side they are only three generations removed from scottish nobility (forbush, forbes etc). In early new england literature they’re referred to as lesser aristocracy.
So there hasn’t been a peasantry in my family that we know of at least since the that time. Although there is some tragedy that occurs in southern england during the plague – which is when many names were affected by the collapse in population and literacy.
In fact it wasn’t even until the 1950s that we saw outbreeding. My father was disinherited for marrying a catholic.

MARTIN STEPAN ON NOBLESSE OBLIGE
Definition: “Noblesse oblige” is a French phrase that translates to “nobility obligates.” It conveys the idea that those who hold significant power, wealth, ability, or social status have a responsibility to act with generosity, honor, and integrity towards those less privileged. And such privilege comes with moral and social responsibilities, obligating one to lead by example, showing kindness and benevolence.
From Martin Stepan (@autistocratMS)
–“Noblesse oblige, whether on individual or group level, is about dealing with the weak, those who likely cannot attain self-determination at all, in a way that’s good for them, even beyond the limits set by our rule of natural law. I find this obviously desirable for our people, just not something I expect when there’s no incentive.
Also, I despise the use of the word oppression. It can mean a thousand different things and typically lacks the accounting for how the supposedly oppressed is himself contributing to the interaction.
Common use is just to criticize any use of authority but lower or feminine classes of people are unlikely to be capable of making the best decisions for themselves in which case providing them with an authority to guide them through life is an example of noblesse oblige that would simultaneously be considered oppression.”–

GREAT QUESTION: WHAT IS A RIGHT, POSSESSION, INTEREST?
A right consists and can only consist in a community of insurers of that right, where that right consists of the criteria by which one can appeal to the insurers (jury, court, public, sherrif, militia, military) and make an insurance claim against another person or group.
A possession is a fact. That’s all it means. It does not convey whether that possession is free of appeal to insurers for restitution and punishment of an imposition of cost on the demonstrated interests of others.
A demonstrated interest consists of investing in obtaining full or partial or fragmentary control of something whether self, kin, material, common, informal institution or formal institution WITHOUT imposing costs upon the demonstrated interests of others.
Therefore property is the label we use for legitimately obtained demonstrated interests over which you have some degree of individual to group rights that we can use in appeal to an insurer to prevent the imposition of costs upon that interest by others, or claim restitution and punishment for any imposition upon it.
Possibly confusing is the original use of the term ‘interest’ meaning ‘ownership’ into ‘interesting’ meaning only a curiosity. In law, ‘interest’ means you have demonstrated some degree of demonstrated investment in the asset without imposing on those of others.

Prediction that the individual will not cause you harm even if it is simply not acting against the most subtle of your interests, will not break a promise, agreement, all the way up to betrayal, fraud, and causing you physical harm.
Biologically it’s just homeostasis plus (a)…

DEMONSTRATED INTEREST? WHAT’S AN INTEREST?
What if all x companies compete for a deal. Haven’t they “demonstrated interest”. Confusion over both of the terms demonstrated and interest: They haven’t demonstrated (performed an action at cost) to perform a voluntary transfer of interests (assets) until the deal is compete (exchanged). Otherwise anyone who bid on the deal would hold a fractional interest (ownership) in the revenue from the deal, without having to perform the work (deliver, exchange).
Opportunities the property of the issuer at least, and are a commons at most, until privatized(transferred) by a reciprocal exchange.
ETYMOLOGY
This is the difference between the original and still pervasive etymology in financial and legal definition of interest and the evolution of that term as the colloquial ‘interesting’. “To be between (possession) > to be important (valuable) > to compensation for a loss (asset) > broadened to general financial financial considerations > the cost of borrowing money > the idea of having a stake or involvement in something > colloquialized: intellectual curiosity (analogy).
One does not have an interest (ownership) until one has demonstrated an interest (born a cost by investing in and therefore creating something new ‘from the wild’), or born a cost in voluntary exchange of assets(reciprocity). One may possess an item, by stealing it, or one may falsely claim one has an exclusive interst inall or some asset, but one must bear a cost to transform (transfer) the state (ownership) of the asset.
You must demonstrate an interests to hold an interest, and thus convert an opportunity or possession to property the control over which is insured by yourself and others against involuntary transfer.
