(FB 1547744006 Timestamp) PROPERTY IN TOTO, RECIPROCITY, AND THE NECESSITY OF VIOLENCE by Lucas Cort (via brandon hayes) (curtd: this is flawless) Property in toto (demonstrated property) provides a measurement of what humans value. Demonstration of value occurs in human action, when individuals or groups show a willingness and ability to defend said value. The use of violence ensures retention of property and acts as a deterrent against future violations. People can choose the strategies of cooperation, predation, parasitism, or non cooperation. Cooperation with strict adherence to reciprocity being the optimal strategy for long term productive interactions. Reciprocity entails non imposition of costs against others property in toto, through productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfers. Violations of reciprocity lead to conflict due to asymmetrical imposition of costs. Predation being short term and parasitism being a medium term strategy. Retaliation cycles ensue violations, revealing the need for third party assessment and resolution, including enforcement between parties. This gives rise to the discovery and evolution of Law, an insurer of last resort (polity/government), and the militia. These institutions and discoveries are created and upheld through the use of violence, creating disincentives for violations of reciprocity. Through this incremental domestication of man we maintain group cooperation and reap the surpluses that ensue. Resulting in the rapid evolution and competitive edge of the society at large.

(FB 1547732420 Timestamp) “IF YOU STILL HAVE PROBLEMS, THEN MAYBE INDEPENDENCE IS NOT FOR YOU.” (insight) by Adam Voight You are watching colonialism being replayed right in front of your eyes. This is exactly the same process as we find with the early Modern Period. China will end up owning “too much” of Africa, and people will use their voting power to bail themselves out, and there will be small wars to prevent it. Colonialism is perfectly fine, since it benefits everyone concerned, primarily the colonized. This is why Australia and New Zealand are both currently colonies and yet also two of the best nations to live in. This is why Canada is better off than the USA, Canada gets all the fringe benefits of being a colony with none of the costs, such as having to pay for own self-defence. Africans will beg us to come liberate them, but that will also be a waste of time. Gosh, I recall when I first started arguing with Curt Doolittle, I also thought that colonialism was like the f-ing Original Sin. In reality, it was almost as bad as what came before. The reason why people pretend otherwise is that they need something or someone to blame their problems on. Like really, people if you have been independent for as long as Japan, Korea, or China, then your problems are your own. That’s what it means to be sovereign. If you still have problems, then maybe independence is not for you.

IT’S JUST SCIENCE AND ITS APPLICATION. —“You most likely have explained this but in one or two sentences, how would you describe the ideology of Propertarianism? Keep it up and stay reciprocal 🙂 “—A Friend Propertarianism is not an ideology. It’s the completion of the scientific method, and it’s application to human knowledge – particularly social science. Using propertarianism I have described perfect government. And I advocate for perfect government. Because for european peoples, perfect government is possible. That said, it is possible to produce ANY government using propertarianism. You just have to do it truthfully and procedurally. Monarchical, Republican, Classical Liberal, Democratic, Night Watchman (anarchic). This is because all of these can be constructed under rule of law of reciprocity, an independent judiciary, a militia, and a prohibition on falsehood. Conversely, you cannot produce an islamic or jewish or christian, or other theological state because these are predicated on falsehood.
