    ANARCHY IS NOT INTERNALLY CONSISTENT OR PRODUCTIVE

    (Again: Libertine, Anarchist, Libertarian Thought Fails)

    By: Alain Dwight (via Brandon Hayes)

    Rules without rulers is impossible. Asserting an active noun or verb (rule) without an actor putting it in play (rulers) is a form of deception. For a sentence to be operationally complete it has to include the actor, the incentive they follow, the change in state and a few other points (P epistemology is the first place I saw this standard detailed).

    Human flourishing was never created by anarchists, anarchists were always subversive as far as I know, countersignalling our ancestors that created flourishing through rule of law.

    Between sovereign entities, there can be no authority but reciprocity can be calculated hence rule of law measured by reciprocity is the only actual alternative to authority.

    Anarchism can be an appealing narrative when seeing the abuse of power but in part, it I think it appeals more ot the juvenile part of us that desires freedom than the part that desires the discipline required to create freedom. If you operationalize the narrative then Propertarianism is what you’re left with.

    I don’t want to rebel against power I want to have power and to have other good men have power.

    When good men fall into the vice of not seeking power then it calls into question how good they really are.

    THE TRANSITION INTO GODS

    by Luke Weinhagen

    Human development of executive function and rational agency resulted in our having more ability to exert intentional control over our environment than any other organism we have yet encountered (humans evolve to control environments).

    This control gives us the means to write natural law (figuratively – our exertion of control redefines the limits that are expressed by the environment in natural law).

    Because we could begin to write natural law, however poorly and imprecise at first, we could begin the process of domestication.

    The Story version:

    The fall of man was not the knowledge of good and evil, but life and death. When we control the environment, we change the limits.

    We redefine what is unfit, what will survive and what will be eliminated – what was only to be the purview of the gods.
