    DEFINING EXISTENCE VERSUS EXPERIENCE

    Existence = Persistence

    Experience = Non-Persistence

    1) We must construct experiences in real time from a combination of brain structure (Vitruvianism), Memory(prior Perception and Association), and Perception(senses), and Association (the measure of which we have no means yet other than IQ to determine).

    2) Existence persists independent of experience.

    3) Some patterns (categories, relations, values) will always be experienced by human minds.

    4) Human minds are indifferent in perception to the degree patterns are indifferently identified.

    5) Cooperation is possible because of indifference in perception, indifference in incentives (acquisitions), and indifference in mirroring (sympathy and empathy).

    THE CONSTRUCTION OF A CIVIL ORDER

    by Joel Davis

    I would define a ‘Civil Order’ as the result of successfully negotiated, reciprocal social construction.

    In order to successfully negotiate a condition of interpersonal reciprocity we must have incentive to:

    1) reciprocally participate (suppression of parasitism),

    2) trust that exchange shall be honoured (insurance) and;

    3) commensurable means of reference and calculation (truthful speech and operational law).

    Mindfulness practiced correctly enables one to better conceive of the externalities of their behaviour and the actual and/or potential social rewards and punishments which accrue from these externalities.

    Thus, as Mindfulness generates greater rationality in the practitioner, it generates greater capacity to calculate reciprocity, therefore generating greater capacity to successfully negotiate reciprocity.

    (curt says: “perfection”. That is how it is done.)

    Propertarianism isn’t a panacea. It’s not an ideology. It’s not even a philosophy per se. It’s just “Here is the completed scientific method. If I apply the completed scientific method to the full scope of human knowledge, organized by combining categories of philosophy and social science into a single hierarchy, the result is *all of these ideas*.”

    Everything else I do is just (a) generating conflict so that I can (b) test it in argument, (c) identify a few smart people with long term potential, (d) generate marketing interest for the published work and courses. With the ambition of funding the institute and teaching natural law as a discipline. (and creating a revolution if possible).

    Right now I’m just in book mode. Although every day or so I come up with some little nuance that I have to peck away at. But it’s going really fast and it’s beautiful (at least, from my nerdy perspective.)

    And as michael said, the word-to-idea ratio is really low, so there is a lot of bang in every chapter so to speak.
