PROGRESSIVISM IS A RELIGION, AND TRUTH BLASPHEMY
by Vivek Na
Liberals use this kind of rhetoric – “no right thinking individual would say that”. Or “That doesn’t sound right” – meaning you’re committing blasphemy according to their constructed sense of right and wrong, ergo, you’re a heretic who should be metaphorically exiled or pilloried.
–Curt:–
You know, we ought to use that more often: “So you mean it’s blasphemous in your religion, right?”

DEFINING YOURSELF BY YOUR RELATION TO ANOTHER
by Bill Joslin
If I define myself based on what you are i.e. I am the victim of your oppression, and hold this the core of my identity, how can I live with you? How can I live without you? How can my identity exist without it vandalizing your identity? How can you exist without it being an imposition on my identity?
It’s f#cking crazy-making childishness, no?

Given the vast array of possibility and immense casual density of the universe, incrementally eliminating the arbitrary from the relevant recursively refines the process of knowledge production and choice of effective action. The spectrum from Analogy to Theory to Axiomatic Proof to Operational Description outlines the process of continuous disambiguation which iteratively remove doubt in preference, good, and truth and therefore future action. The degree of doubt which survives the disambiguation process dictates the degree of knowledge obtained. The degree of knowledge obtain dictates the effectiveness of action – the degree of agency obtained.

I think the Propertarian legal frames can be explained simply. But the difficulty in simplistic explanations pertains to constraining interpretation (free association) which dissolves our value on testimony as a demanding moral good. We can habituate that via law and grounded parables (parables grounded in reality))
(CURT: If you can disassemble that, it’s spot on.)

ANY SUFFICIENTLY COMPLEX THEORY WILL BE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM MAGIC
—“Most people won’t understand the basis for [the Propertarian] legal theory, and it will need explanation in mythological terms. To the people who require this form of explanation it will essentially be a religion.”– Eric Orwoll
You know, sometimes you just need someone to reframe it for you. Thanks Eric. That’s smart.
You could ahve told me that three years ago and saved me six months… lol

James Santagata just shared an excellent paper, which illustrates the relationship between common law and continental law, language regulation, and economic regulation.
Well, the conclusions should be pretty obvious (prior restraint vs post resolution) and that all countries pay a trade off between the utility of some regulation to prevent frauds of all sorts, lots of regulation to prevent malinvestment or tax evasion, and post-hoc litigation to encourage experimentation.
