Just as we evolve property from common to private,
Just as we evolve the suppression of parasitism from criminal, to fraudulent, to free riding, to conspiratorial, to warfare;
Just as we evolve from mysticism to reason, to rationalism, to empiricism, to testimonialism;
we also evolve truth from justificationary, to moral, to honesty, to scientific, to testimonial.
Each thing we do removes frictions.

The more truth that one relies upon the less friction exists in a society and the more productivity it releases without resistance from parasitism.”—

IT”S NOT LIKE I”M GONNA WIN A POPULARITY CONTEST FOR THIS LITTLE BIT OF TRUTH.
You know, it’s not like if I walk around telling people ‘Well, we learned how to herd females, and domesticate one another so that we could cooperate more effectively, and that there isn’t any difference between now and then other than the complexity of the methods we use because rather than just genders and alphas we have entire classes and generations.
We didn’t have to invent domestication of other animals. We’re the first animals we domesticated.
So (a) that all our cognitive differences are just a division of perception (b) our differences in perception and value are just reflections of reproductive strategy (c) we herded women and had to, and domesticated ourselves then the rest of the world (d) the only question is whether we continue domestication (eugenics) or we revert to animals (dysgenics).
The west invented the most profitable and fastest way of domesticating human beings: markets in everything (empirical civilization – meaning meritocracy), and cull the herd with winters, starvation, pestilence, war, and aggressive hanging of malcontents.
Yeah. Well, you know the optimum is a market society where we just limit the unproductive to one child. Eventually, this takes care of itself. And I think that’s the compromise that’s just as … necessary… as the institution of monogamous marriage, and rule of law.
No one wants to be forced into marriage no one wants to be forced to limit herself to a single child, no one wants to be forced to contribute to the maintenance of defense, and no one wants to be prosecuted by the law for the imposition of costs upon others.
It’s not a matter of want.
Sigh.

So here is the central issue:
++Voluntary exchange++ vs –Decidability by law–
++Positive epistemology++ vs –negative epistemology–
So rather than reason how we might do something as individual thinkers I ask HOW CAN WE CALCULATE SOMETHING by voluntary exchanges within the constraints of natural law.
In other words, how do we scale the ability to reason?

( reminder. I don’t do racism. I do truth and activism. What are you gonna do? I don’t care what others do that defeats you. What are you going to do so that you aren’t defeated? )

The difference is that you won’t spend an entire year on one topic and cover the entire corpus searching for a method of decidability rather than meaning or utility. That’s the difference. We evolved to search for meaning so that we can discover opportunities. I don’t. I search for decidability in matters of conflict. So most people look for more haystacks to search, and I look for the single needle in each one.

You gotta think of it from the dog’s perspective. These human things, have spears and food. And all we gotta do is our usual listening, smelling, and barking thing, and we get free food and we’re safe as hell – cause these are seriously bad mother fuckers. I mean, we’ve got teeth and all. But they can work in a pack just like us, and they have SPEARS. It’s awesome.

THE ATTACK ON ARISTOCRATIC FAMILIES
Reducing inheritances reduces the incentive to choose mates that will preserve the inheritance.
All inheritance taxes must go, and the family and the individual must be a transaction free corporation out to three generations.
