I’ve editing the Overview of Propertarianism to include pretty much everything you wrote. Why? Because your writing is wonderfully clear and parsimonious.

That’s the only value of debate: exercise your skills against the enemy in order to improve your educational skills with your allies.

This is not uncommon between competitors. It actually makes the competition enjoyable – unless you’re the victim of that competitor because you can’t play the game at that level.

    (FB 1545418085 Timestamp) The general argument that I rely upon is that consciousness exists for the purpose of social interaction by observing, empathizing, sympathizing, negotiating, and cooperating, avoiding, or conflicting. Otherwise it is too expensive (brains are really expensive). In other words, the returns on cooperation are high enough for all that individual humans can afford expensive brains. Consciousness exists like language exists – to negotiate cooperation.

    (FB 1545506432 Timestamp) NEW NEIGHBOR … —“The adult bobcat is 18.7 to 49.2 in long from the head to the base of the tail, averaging 32.6 in; the stubby tail adds 3.5 to 7.9 in and its “bobbed” appearance gives the species its name. An adult stands about 30 to 60 cm (12 to 24 in) at the shoulders. Adult males can range in weight from 14 to 40 lb, with an average of 21 lb; females at 8.8 to 33.7 lb, with an average of 15 lb. The largest bobcat accurately measured on record weighed 49 lb, although unverified reports have them reaching 60 lb. Furthermore, a June 20, 2012 report of a New Hampshire roadkill specimen listed the animal’s weight at 60 lb. The largest-bodied bobcats are of the subspecies L. r. gigas and range from eastern Canada and northern New England. The bobcat is muscular, and its hind legs are longer than its front legs, giving it a bobbing gait. At birth, it weighs 0.6 to 0.75 lb and is about 10 in in length. By its first birthday, it weighs about 10 lb.”—

    (FB 1545588763 Timestamp) IR-RECIPROCITY AND LICENSE OF PREDATION AGAINST US. It breaks the contract and the law, since if they have no duty to protect, and we have no right to defend, it legalizes predation – which is precisely what we see. Ergo: return to the militia: every man a craftsman, a warrior, a sheriff, a judge, and his own legislator. EVERY MAN A SHERIFF.
