    AGENCY

    —“The capacity of individuals to act independently and to make their own free choices subject to personal or external limitations. By contrast, *structure* refers to those factors that determine or limit an individual and his or her decisions, such as gender, social class, ethnicity, religion, customs, education, economic institutions, government, propaganda, ability, knowledge, ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, and deceit. Meaning that one’s agency is determined by the combination of beneficial institutions, abilities, and knowledge and inhibiting institutions, abilities, and knowledge”—

    JOSLIN ON VERTICAL CLASS STRUCTURES AND RULE

    by Bill Joslin

    Without accommodating for agency, nomocracy would be limited to either timocracy (rule by property owners) or stratocracy (rule by military rank) or academics (technocracy) exclusively (monopoly).

    Natural Law Nomocracy, as stated above, combines stratocracy (militia), timocracy (property owners), and technocracy (academia) as three paths to demonstrate excellence (meritocracy), three competing Houses for commons creation and management.

    The result is aristocracy (rule by the best of all three houses) and could result in cartel management (houses team up to impose upon the other)

    By grounding in demonstrated agency, Propertarianism allows for ANY meritocratic “house” or path to manifest and thus creates a market for rule.

    Membership into the ruling class via demonstration opposed to permission allows ANYONE who can demonstrate they live by their own will access to rule. This opens up enfranchisement, increasing the vertical size of the ruling class and ensures anyone in the ruling class has skin-in-the-game and proven ability. No Vote, No induction, No invitation – you simply show up with your demonstration in hand – eliminating any monopoly power.

    TRUE ENOUGH – FOR THE CONSEQUENCES

    We are limited by physical reality, and the limits of our biology and technology within that physical reality, because of costs. Costs of time, energy, and resources.

    True? Truthfulness is costly. So, True enough for what?

    1) … The Transfer of Meaning (understanding without harm)

    2) … … Taking Personal Action (utility without harm)

    3) … … … Taking Interpersonal Action (avoiding harm to others)

    4) … … … … Providing Dispute Resolution (imposing harm on others)

    When we discourse or debate? True enough for what?

    1) … To convey meaning?

    2) … … To obtain agreement on categories and values?

    3) … … … For the purposes of subsequent deduction? (sufficiency)

    4) … … … … For the purpose of falsification? (removing argument)

    5) … … … … … For the purpose of coercion? (removing choice)

    6) … … … … … … For the purpose of prosecution? (imposing harm)

    ‘Deflationary Truth’ refers to the absence of ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism and deceit.

    ‘Science’ refers to the process by which we produce deflationary truth by the systematic elimination of ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism and deceit. Not meaning, not sufficiency for individual action, or interpersonal action, but for the provision of agency(limitation of choice), and dispute resolution (reduction of choice), or punishment (elimination of choice).

    “Agency” refers to the condition under which an individual acts having eliminated ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, and deceit, so that individuals may act in perfect concert with the universe. Perfect Agency exists in a condition of perfect Truth, and Perfect Truth exists only so far as it is created by science.

    “Sovereignty” refers to a condition of agency when acting in reality amidst the limits of physical and cooperative reality. PerfectSovereignty exists in the condition of perfect agency.

    7 HABITS AS AGENCY

    —“Hey Curt have you ever read 7 habits of highly effective people, if so what are your thoughts on it. I read it awhile ago when I started my self improvement quest and it has fundamentally changed the way I look at things.

    All your posts on agency lately have made me think that it is similar to your ideas as agency is the first habit.

    It is much more personal than propertarianism but it’s summation of western improvement philosophy falls in line with a lot of your ideas.”— A Friend

    Yes I’ve read it, and practiced it, but I sort of have an excessive need for agency anyway. lol

    PLEASE TAG ME WHEN YOU FIND “CHOICE SENTENCES”

    I think it is very important that propertarianism (Natural Law) continues to evolve as a movement of ‘us’ not me. And this is why I try to find well constructed statements ‘you’ make and share them – even if imperfect. Becaude we are looking for (a) use of our terminology, (b) our particular grammar, (c) fairly complete arguments, and (d) parsimony conveyed by definitions, sequences, and aphorisms.

    I’m starting to get a bit overwhelmed. So please tell me if you have or you notice candidates. I keep FB running next to me no matter what else I”m working on. But I don’t catch everything.

    (then again, if I don’t agree with you don’t hold it against me. lol )

    Thanks

    —“Up until now everybody has gotten it completely backwards: free will is not rebelling against nature and escaping natural cause-and-effect, but it is exactly the opposite. By becoming part of the cause-and-effect chains and inserting ourselves into them, we gain agency.”—Moritz Bierling

    STOP DENYING WHO WE ARE

    I mean, you can choose: Western sovereignty by which we and humanity profit from our incremental transformation of man from impulsive animal into human with agency in the pursuit of sovereignty for all, or the Semitic, Persian profit from the expansion of the underclass and the continuous devolution of man. Or the Chinese authoritarian version that seems to always end in stagnation.

    only one of these models has served to raise man out of ignorance and poverty in the bronze, iron, and steel, ages,

    That’s the west.

    Stop denying who we are.

    We are the people who domesticated the animal man for fun and profit by breeding for agency, such that with agency we can produce a population of sovereigns – equal among the gods.

    Every group of humans can take this strategy if they choose.

    BANNING – BLOCKING POLICY

    Since 2009 I have hardly banned anyone. And in the past few months it’s become are regular occurrence. I am not sure why, other than (a) I will not buy into the nazi thing, and (b) the libertards are desperate.

    Stuff I think I should ban for:

    (a) trolling, (b) disingenuousness, (c) memes, (d) name calling, (e) non-arguments, (f) serious IQ vs Dunning Kruger issues.

    Now my position is that I never back down from a fight. But you know, these retards are not really fighting. They’re just imposing a cost upon me. Raiders aren’t warriors so to speak.

    And I usually find ‘talking to the underclass’ improves my (our) argumentative ability. And it does function as a means of marketing to the friends of idiots who are not necessarily such idiots.

    (And honestly I find humiliating morons cathartic.)

    But time is time – yours and mine. So I’m going to take your advice and get more aggressive for no other reason than saving myself some time.

    Cheers
