MERIT AND MERITOCRACY
In the general sense then, merit does not necessarily refer to the reward one obtains, but that when one obtains a reward he has done so because of his merits, as long as he has done so morally.
A meritocracy is one in which gains from moral action are not guaranteed, but possible, and gains from immoral actions are prohibited.
(always try to get the negative in there)

E-PRIME LESSON OF THE DAY
THE RULE: DISALLOWED WORDS – NO “GOD MODE SPEECH”.
—E-Prime does not allow the conjugations of the verb “to be”, such as “be”, “am”, “is”, “are”, “was”, “were”, “been”, “being”; the archaic forms of to be (e.g. “art”, “wast”, “wert”), or the contractions of to be (e.g. “I’m”, “he’s”, ” she’s”, or “they’re”).—

TRANSLATE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS INTO E-PRIME.
1) The cat is black.
2) Where have you been?
3) They were at the movies.
4) Where is john? He’s digging a ditch.
5) To be or not to be, That is the question.
EPrime (E’) is harder to use than you’d think. It takes about three weeks to get it down in writing. Another three weeks to start to speak it.

POLITICS FOR DUMMIES? OK. EASY. Politics for dummies? Ok. It’s this simple. There are three ways to coerce people: force(law/military), payment(trade), and shaming(gossip/morals) These correspond to conservative(saving), libertarian(trade), and progressive(shaming). And these correspond to the reproductive roles of father(conservative), the brother(libertarian), and the mother and sister(progressive) And that’s because it’s the reproductive strategy of the males, the young, and the females. It’s very simple. We all just negotiate on behalf of our reproductive strategies. It’s that simple. All our talk is nonsense.
Civil Society means that commons are produced by voluntary actions of citizens rather than by the direction by and payment from government. Civil societies require high trust. Only northern europeans developed high trust at scale. Ergo civil societies are rare, and the western governments since the war have destroyed most of it through government intervention in under a century.

(trying to turn josh’s comment into a description. might take me a bunch of tries)
All Doolittle’s work is reducible to Testimonialism – and Testimonialism is only concerned with intersubjectivity[*1] as the necessary domain of cooperation, law, and political action.
His system isn’t really saying anything we didn’t already know science to be. Other than perhaps, that cooperation written as empirically discovered law can evolve as does knowledge in any other empirical science.
Sociality [*2] inherently needed intersubjective consensus to be possible to be a viable evolutionary strategy, and that’s all we’re really doing with law and society: cooperating on evolutionary strategies.
What you or I may think and write about that tries to move past this simple “roboticism” (uninspiring logic) isn’t really for the domain of law. And in a way, it had to be that way to be individually meaningful.
—
[*1] – In its weakest sense, intersubjectivity refers to agreement.
[*2] – Sociality is the degree to which individuals in an animal population tend to associate in social groups and form cooperative societies. Sociality is a survival response to evolutionary pressures.
