—“What do you use as a basis for your research?”— A Friend Maybe I don’t understand the question…. I mean. I have a very deliberate methodology. Mostly the history of (a) group competitive strategies, (b) geography (c) economics, (d) political orders, (e) laws, (f) methods of argument (grammars). And I use propertarianism (Vitruvianism, Acquisitionism, Propertarianism, Testimonialism, and Natural Law) to perform the analysis. The difficult part of the work is deflating history into Propertarian terms so that all group actions are commensurable. This often requires attacking a proposition until only the truth (in Testimonial terms) remains. And in particular attacking most sacred presumptions and values. And that takes a great deal of time. I have to work long enough that I’ve defeated my own biases as best I can as well. In other words I look at the actions ( inputs, operations, and outputs) not the excuses (what people say about them), and explain the world as the different tactics we use to acquire. The methodology is something I understand very well. Unfortunately it is rather difficult to possess sufficient knowledge to employ it. As such it’s just as hard as any of the other sciences.

Groups Differ in The Degree of Suppression of Externalization of Costs
—“Why should I be barred from contributing to the growth of another who would in turn contribute to my own growth?”— Bennard Ebanks When doing so imposes costs upon others by externality, who tolerate your presence only under the condition that you do not do so. Groups differ in the degree of suppression of externalization of costs. High trust high performance, homogenous polities are intolerant – and because they are, they have the choice. Low trust, heterogeneous, low performing are tolerant. Because they have no other choice.

More Natural Law
—“When we hear the sophists claim that law is a social construct, they should be saying that legislation is a social construct?”— Steven Jackson Yes. Natural Law (Reciprocity). Law (judicial findings of irreciprocity), Legislation( Commands of Representatives given force of law), Regulation ( Commands of Bureaucracy), Discretion (Commands of Individuals). —“Natural law is not a construct but a reality that adapts to social conditions?”— Steven Jackson Natural law was ‘discovered’ as the universal method of decidability independent of individual and group differences in judgements, and from which there is no incentive for retaliation. Natural law (reciprocity) is the only condition under which both (a) cooperation is the necessary means of survival, reproduction, and flourishing, and (b) individuals cannot prey upon one another, and (c) it is in the self interest of the strong (and sovereign) to adhere to instead of predation, parasitism, and coercion.

Is Leftism a Disease? It’s Because We Are Speciating
(dividing into species) —“Curt do you think that leftism is simply a mental illness or is there an actual reason why people adopt such an unreasonable belief system?”— I think it’s a pre-cognitive genetic (evolutionary) strategy that some people have evolved just as conservatism is a genetic (evolutionary) strategy that others have evolved. And I think the difference is caused by the female reproductive strategy that favors women and the lower classes, and male reproductive strategy that favors males and the middle/upper classes. And this is confirmed pretty simply by the reproductive attractiveness of conservatives and liberals. Conservatives tend to be more reproductively desirable, and have greater agency. These are genetic markers. My view is that we WERE speciating regionally by race when we discovered metalworking. My view is that we are wealthy enough to speciate by need for commons – and that’s what we are in the process of doing. And that the mistake is to think that our interests are better served by the production of COMPROMISE commons versus SPECIALIZED COMMONS that suit our reproductive strategies. All peoples are better served by the production of SPECIALIZED COMMONS. And we can (finally) afford to produce them. And that is what we see across the world. WE NEED TO SPECIATE. WOLVES(conservatives) Packs, and SHEEP(liberals) Herd. Revolt, Separate, Prosper, Speciate. -

UM. NO. IT’S FOR THE STRONG.
Let me help you. The reason for natural law of reciprocity is that it is the only reason under which the strong and able have a greater interest in cooperation than predation.
