Using Propertarian Reasoning (Methodology)
Sep 05, 2016 8:40am *** PROPERTARIAN REASONING: SPECTRA *** THREE POINTS MAKE A TESTABLE LINE THREE POINTS MAKE A TESTABLE TRIANGLE. THREE BEHAVIORS CREATE A TESTABLE ANALYSIS PROPERTARIAN REASONING: i) TAKE A CONCEPT, iii) “FIND THREE POINTS”. iii) Then FIND LIMITS. iv) Then FILL IN BETWEEN THEM. 1) The Unknown Known is as Problematic as the Unknown Unknown. – Known Known – Known Unknown – Unknown Unknown (things we can’t imagine) – Unkown Known. (Metaphysical assumptions) (Truth Table: Known vs Unknown) 2) Escaping Reality: Humanity Escapes the Present. – Westerner Civ – Heroism, Change, Future. (Aristocracy, Stoicism ) – Eastern Civ – Duty, Harmony, Past. ( Historicism and ritual ) – Magian Civ – Submission, Obeyance, Otherworldly(monotheism) – Denial Civ – Disconnection, Internalism, Excapism. (buddhism) (Truth Table: x=future vs past, y= fantasy vs escapism) 3) Causes of Metaphysical Assumptions (population density and climate hostility vs means of farm production) (Also value of individual human life in north/sparse vs south/dense) (from conversation with johannes meixner)

Spectrum: Signals of Belief Claims
THE SPECTRUM OF SIGNALS OF BELIEF CLAIMS. We’ve been discussing this in my corner of the universe, and I tend to work with the following terminological sequence: Faith = recognition that you’re position is indefensible, but you report that you hold some position. Belief = a ‘signal’ in the report that you might decide in favor of the position were it of no cost to you, but that you aren’t accountable for the truth or falsehood of it. Know = that you are not signaling, but with present knowledge, will defend your claim that you will decide in favor of the position, even if it costs you minor reputation for defending it. Promise = that you are willing to commit status and reputation to defend the assertion that you will choose in favor of the position. Warranty = that you are willing to commit materially to defend the assertion that you will choose in favor of the position. Demonstrate = that you have chosen in favor of the position. We have a lot of evidence that says this hierarchy of costs reflects the ‘put’ that an individual is making on the proposition at hand. TYING TO EARLIER POST ON THE PROBLEMS OF PHILOSOPHY as reducible to word games that attempt to escape accountability. https://www.facebook.com/curt.doolittle/posts/10154464857972264 Curt Doolittle The Propertarian Institute

Classical Liberal Conservative Libertarian
I AM A CONTRACTUALIST: A CLASSICAL LIBERAL CONSERVATIVE LIBERTARIAN. If you want to classify me, I am a contractualist. This means a classical liberal, libertarian. I am conservative because I’m an empiricist. And I am a Nationalist because I’m from a germanic, martial class by intuition, and because as an empiricist I understand the superior ability to govern contractually under homogeneity. So I know how my work on truthfulness sounds to contemporary people, just as I am aware how Darwin, Hume, Machiavelli, and Socrates were considered immoral people, and how western contractualism in its current degraded form, sounds immoral to less advanced peoples. If I **DIDN”T** make you feel a moral twinge, then I wouldn’t be advancing human understanding by reordering values. The difference is that I’m trying to improve human conditions for prosperity not dominate others, harm others, or even exclude others. The problem is that exclusion of differences in strategies is necessary for the development of the prosperity and peace that contractualism provides for us. Curt Doolittle

Clarification of Property, Possession, Rights
HOMESTEADING(CREATION) -> POSSESSION(DEFENSE) -> PROPERTY(NORM) -> PROPERTY RIGHTS(LAW) It’s probably clearer to label possession as my opinion and property as insured by third parties. I can possess material things, but I can have an interest in far more things. I’m going to try to correct this in my own usage.
I may hold possessions, but property is a normative construction, and property rights are a legal construction. And I think that is pretty much what the common law says.
