    Religion consists of Myth and ritual in exchange for membership in a group, and the resulting ‘mindfulness’. Supernatural religions additionally require false promise and belief in one or more falsehoods. Political religions additionally require some exclusivity and law.

    “TERNARY LOGIC OF COOPERATION”

    In propertarianism, we don’t start with morality. We start with needing an incentive not to engage in parasitism and predation which for the strong is the preferable state of affairs. The only incentive possible is reciprocity because of the long term gains of scale. Everyone else starts with the presumption that cooperation at any cost is a good. We start with the presumption that only reciprocity is a good. We are right and they are parasites.

    DECONFLATION OF THE LAW

    Legislation consists of assigning rights, obligations, procedures, restitutions, and punishments, and regulation consists of the same to enforce legislation.

    There is but one law and it is reciprocity.

    The FINDINGS OF LAW in the common law constitute application of reciprocity to disputes, and the recording of those findings as advice to all subsequent jurists.

    6 – The Law (reciprocity)

    4 – Findings of Law (application)

    3 – Regulation (enforcement)

    2 – Legislation (political command)

    1 – Command. (authoritarian command)

    Cheers

  • DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE? RELIGION VS IDEOLOGY VS PHILOSOPHY VS LOGIC VS MATHE

    DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE? RELIGION VS IDEOLOGY VS PHILOSOPHY VS LOGIC VS MATHEMATICS VS SCIENCE

    (worth repeating)

    – A RELIGION consists of any set of ideas of justification which require belief in, testimony to, or action according to, one or more falsehoods as a cost of inclusion and use.

    – AN IDEOLOGY consist of any set of ideas that agitate, motivate, or inspire achievement of political ends under majoritarian (monopoly) democracy. An ideology need not be internally consistent externally correspondent, or existentially possible. It need only motivate individuals to act in furtherance of policy.

    – A PHILOSOPHY consists of any set of internally consistent ideas of decidability which justify pursuit of personal preferences or group goods.

    – A LOGIC consists of any deflationary grammar of decidability that assists in the falsification by competition of one or more constant relations between states. (Note that one proves nothing logically other than internal consistency, because all premises of external correspondence are forever contingent.)

    – MATHEMATICS consists of a deflationary grammar of decidability consisting purely of competition between positional names under the preservation of ratios providing a single axis of decidability: position, but in N dimensions, providing commensurability between any set of positional relations of any number of dimensions.

    – A SCIENCE consists of any set of ideas that provide decidability independent of personal preference or group goods, by the systematic elimination of ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, fictionalism, and deceit, by the use of measurement and record of actions – demonstrations versus words.

    – NATURAL LAW of RECIPROCITY (Tort), was produced scientifically (empirically) by trial and error, through the resolution of disputes across personal preferences, group goods, norms, traditions, and intuitions, cumulating always and everywhere that decidability is provided by property, and property consists in the demonstrated investment of human action or inaction anything whether genetic, material, behavioral, or informational.

    REFACTORING: The process of restructuring existing computer code to improve the nonfunctional attributes of the software (its ‘factors’), without changing its external behavior. (Usually caused by centralizing common functionality (subtracting), standardizing readability or performance (transforming), or increasing defensibility against error (adding)

    Antonym:

    REFUCKTORING: The process of taking a well-designed piece of code and, through a series of small, reversible changes, making it completely unmaintainable by anyone except yourself. (Usually caused by confusing code parsimony with compiled or bytecode(p-code) parsimony, removing all semantic (human readable) utility.)

  • “Curt when you say ‘productive’ what do you mean?”— Eric Orwoll. Anything that

    —“Curt when you say ‘productive’ what do you mean?”— Eric Orwoll.

    Anything that is not unproductive. For example, blackmail does not increase any form of capital – it is voluntary but parasitic.

    In economics if the returns on an opportunity cost of a transaction is greater than the returns on the next most preferable opportunity cost (holding the good, service, or information), then it is unproductive.

    This is a bit difficult for most people to deal with because it consists almost entirely of via-negativa logic.

    So we just measure changes to property in toto and ask if it is negative or positive.

    If it is positive it doesn’t matter if it’s voluntary.

    If it’s negative it’s very hard to imagine that it was voluntary.

    And it’s just as hard to demonstrate the counter to that statement as it is to counter the premise of rational action.

    When all else false demonstrated behavior is what it is: evidence of involuntary transfer.

  • NORMIE VERSION OF “WHAT IS PROPERTARIANISM?” (via Bill and Curt) Propertarianism

    NORMIE VERSION OF “WHAT IS PROPERTARIANISM?”

    (via Bill and Curt)

    Propertarianism is a method – it’s the completion of the scientific method, and that scientific method applied to EVERYTHING – including language, psychology, social science, economics, politics and group competitive strategies.

    So while propertarianism consists of the completion of the scientific method, what results from that scientific method, is scientific law, and scientific government, which makes it possible for us to cooperate in the post industrial era.

    And the benefit of scientific law and scientific government is that it ends parasitism and deceit in politics economics and law, and provides scientific solutions to the conflicts of politics economics and law.

    In the broader historical sense, propertarianism completes the greco-anglo empirical program to complete the sciences, and to eliminate bias, wishful thinking, deception, superstition, idealism, and pseudoscience from the the public discourse that we call ‘the informational commons”.
