THE UNIFICATION OF MORALITY, PHILOSOPHY, SCIENCE, AND LAW
1) Testimonialism (Epistemology),
2) Propertarianism(Ethics), and;
3) Strict-Construction Dissent Liberalism: the multi-house market for the production of commons(Politics).
(I am trying to figure out a name for propertarian and testimonial Politics)

THE ARCHITECTURE OF PROPERTARIANISM
Thinking through the remainder of Propertarianism.
COMMUNICATION METHOD
1) Poem / Parable / Story / Novel / Play, (analogy), Dostoyevsky, Orwell
2) Essay(Advice / Preference), Locke, Smith, and Hume.
3) Argument(scholarly persuasion / Necessity), Darwin.
4) Prescription (law, actionable / requirement ), The US Constitution.
5) Bible(Law+Myth, Pedagogy) Koran, Hebrew law. The Western Canon
ETHICAL METHOD
1) Virtue Ethics (Imitation) – in Youth – Using Story
2) Deontological Ethics (Rules) – at Maturity – Using Prescription(Law) or Argument
3) Teleological Ethics (Outcomes) – when Aged – Using Essay or Bible
LIFE EXPERIENCE REQUIRED
1) Youth – Little Experience – virtue ethics – outcomes
2) Maturity – Some Experience – Deontological ethics.
3) Aged – Much : Teleological ethics – outcomes.
REQUIREMENTS
1) Durable medium – the longer the better. myths last forever.
2) Pedagogical – can be taught by parable or by rule, or studied to gain wisdom.
3) Hard to criticize – can survive decades if not centuries of criticism
THOUGHTS
My first draft in 2006 was an essay. The second draft in 2013 was an argument. But both were plagued by ideosyncratic language. So (on advice from hoppe) I rewrote it using standard philosophical language, using the five branches of philosophy as the skeleton.
Over the past two years, I’ve been able to condense the arguments substantially, and make them more comprehensible. Mostly through continuing to enumerate a number of spectra. And at this point, Propertarianism is much closer to Spinoza’s extremely parsimonious work than Smith’s windy narrative, and Hume or Kant’s, structured arguments.
My intuition tells me that since propertarianism and testimonialism constitute a LEGAL philosophy (a political philosophy expressed as law), that I should not really get into the business of defending each of the propositions. I would lose the reader. And rather than justify the reasoning I should merely DEMONSTRATE it’s explanatory power. I should state the law as “given x, we seek y, by doing z, and this is moral because of w.” Then to follow with examples showing adherence to the rule, then failure to adhere to the rule. Then to address every possible questions of conflict both private and public that I can (like the reformed Torah).
The intuition that I should write Propertrianism (Testimonialism) as a legal version of the 48 Laws of Power (book) has been nagging me for years now. And it’s held up consistently enough that I don’t think it’s going to change.
I am incapable of writing a novel. Novels, Essays and Arguments are not as durable as laws and bibles. And I want Propertariaism(Testimonialism) to be durable. For centuries. At least.
So the big question is: “can I write a bible”. And the answer, I think is yes.
Science, Philosophy, Morality, Law, Politics and Religion in a single volume.
All identical.
All unified.

[T]HE CONDUCT OF A CONTEMPORARY REVOLUTION
1) Develop a political solution to issue as a demand, and a plan for orderly transition.
2) Raise the cost of the status quo until the status quo is intolerable.
….a) inform the population of demands, and warn them to inventory goods.
….b) begin civil disobedience and malicious compliance (raise costs of maintaining order)
….c) create lists of names, and issue threats (create fear in state, academy, and media.)
….d) start fires (cheap, effective friend)
….e) disrupt infrastructure (power largely)
….f) selective kidnapping and assassination (make locals unwilling to govern)
….g) tactical entrapment and assassination (make locals unable to govern or protect)
….h) draw in the military and hold them in many locations. (delegitimize the government and show it is incapable of rule, and bankrupt it and the economy.)
3) Allow transition to occur by any of the possible means:
….a) enactment of changes (modify government)
….b) nullification (incrementally replace government)
….c) secession (create new governments)
….d) coup-d’-etat (military take over the government)
….e) insurrection and revolution (replace the government)
….f) civil war (replace the government after costly warfare)
Each of these solutions is more costly than the previous. But thankfully, contemporary economies and governments are very fragile when subject to economic and infrastructure disruption. So lower cost solutions are likely.
It is easier to replace a government today than at any time in history. And it takes a smaller number of people to cause disruption than at any time in history.

REVOLUTION: “THE BURNINGS”
The Burnings:
(a) the advocates of lying, deceit, and pseudoscience (people: public intellectuals)
(b) the executors of lying, deceit, pseudoscience (bureaucrats)
(b) the institutions of pseudoscience (academy, bureaucracy, media)
(c) the works of pseudoscience (Freudianism, marxism, Keynesianism, postmodernism)
(d) the advertising of ugliness, deceit, and pseudoscience (modern and postmodern art)
Burn the “Cathedral Complex” to ashes.
It’s not just statues of Lenin and Stalin that need to be destroyed. It’s statues to lying, deceit, and pseudoscience: all the works of the “era of deceit” – the Pseudoscientific and postmodern period.
That is how it is done. Burning, Crucifying, Impaling, Guillotining, Hanging. It’s a very clear, informationally dense message.
The Albigensian solution: Eradicate the lies as the Egyptians eradicated monotheism, and as the Christians eradicated stoicism and polytheism; and as the church eradicated the Albigensians, and as the Marxists and socialists eradicated truth, goodness and beauty.

[G]iven the Spectrum of : {Neurobiology, Psychology, Sociology, Economics, Evolutionary Strategy, Politics and War}.
1) Neurobiology: how the brain works: chiefly: it’s biological limits to perception, cognition, memory, knowledge and reason.
2) Psychology: the study of the brain’s struggle to acquire and inventory, its limits, and its errors (cognitive biases) given the individual’s reproductive strategy.
3) Sociology: the study of cooperative acquisition by groups: the production of cooperative and normative commons.
4) Economics: the study of cooperative reproduction, production distribution and trade for the purposes of persistence. The productive commons.
6) Evolutionary Strategy: The suite of informal(manners, ethics, morals, myths, education), economic (production distribution and trade), and formal (law, politics ) institutions that allow the extant peoples to compete with other extant peoples. The competitive commons.
5) Politics: the study of organizational institutions for the purpose of producing competitive(group evolutionary strategy), reproductive, productive(economic), normative(institutions) and material commons.
6) War: the study of the limits of productive cooperation, and the imposition of cooperation, elimination of threats, and elimination of competition.
Man Acts To Acquire To Survive. Cooperation Is The Most Beneficial Means Action to Acquire. But only if cooperation is non-parasitic. And for cooperation to be non-parasitic it must be: productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange, free of externality by the same criteria.
So, the study of man is the study of man’s acquisition of all that he desires. Man acts to acquire.
NEUROBIOLOGY
While we will undoubtedly gain further insights into man, brain and mind, it is unlikely that the Propertarian principles will be falsified – only increased in precision.
1) that man acts to acquire property en toto,
2) moral bias is determined by reproductive strategy
3) specialised moral biases that reflect our reproductive strategies and voluntary cooperation allow us to produce a market for cooperation that functions as an information system making use of the entire spectrum of perceptions in the division of perception, cognition, knowledge, labor and advocacy.
4) language evolved largely to justify actions in the context of cooperation rather than to identify truth propositions. Truth is difficult for us because it is critical. Justification is easy for us.
PSYCHOLOGY
Instead of asking what is right or wrong (deviation from an ideal) with someone’s thinking (a totalitarian doctrine) we ask what they seek to acquire, and whether they seek to acquire it by moral or immoral means. All human behavior can be expressed as interactions between desires for acquisition, the need to negotiate, and moral constraint, and the relative value, or lack of value, of cooperation.
SOCIOLOGY
Instead of asking what is right or wrong (deviation from an ideal), we ask what the group seeks to acquire, and whether they seek to acquire it by moral or immoral means.
EVOLUTIONARY STRATEGY
Instead of asking what is right or wrong (deviation from an idea) we ask what the group seeks ot acquire, and whether they seek to acquire it by internally and externally moral, or immoral, means.
ECONOMICS
Economics can be studied as the means by which we eliminate frictions (transaction costs) and thereby increase the ease and decrease the risk of cooperation (Austrian Economics), OR economics can bes studied as the means by which we search for extensions of rule of law such that interference in the economy is non-discretionary (Chicago Economics), OR economics can be the means by which we determining the maximum disinformation that we can insert into the economy for the purpose of increasing consumption, and by consumption, employment(Keynesian economics). But we now know that Austrian is the most moral, Chicago at least interferes under rule of law, and Keynesian (saltwater) economics is the means by which we conduct the most deceit.
POLITICS
Instead of asking what action is best (monopoly) we ask how individuals can organize into groups to conduct exchanges with other groups, in order to acquire what they wish to by moral or immoral means.
WAR
Instead of the empirical falsehood that war is universally bad, war is the only solution to the failure to cooperate on marginally indifferent moral terms, and war is perhaps the most productive effort man can undertake if one group increases the suppression of parasitism of another group, and especially if it creates or improves trade routes. Violence is either the means by which we enact parasitism, or the means by which we eliminate parasitism. If we eliminate, or at least reduce parasitism substantially, then war, like all prosecution of parasitism, is by definition, moral.
THE COMPLETION OF THE ENLIGHTENMENT PROJECT
The study of man prior to Propertarianism and post-Propertarianism is equal to the study of man prior to the enlightenment and after the enlightenment.
