Natural Law
If we define Moral Intuitions as the reactions we feel in response to our thoughts and actions and those of others. If we define Normative Morality as the reactions we feel given for methods of decidability given some set of assumptions. If we define philosophy (positive and literary) as the search for methods of decidability within a domain of preference, and If we define truth (negative and descriptive) as the search for methods of decidability across all domains regardless of preference. Then: We find that personal moral intuition is the product of our genes, and our experiential development. And it varies greatly from individual to individual. We find that existing normative morality is the product of evolutionary accident and we learn it through experience and observation – although it does vary a little from individual to individual within groups, and varies widely between groups. We find that positive or literary philosophy(fiction or philosophy) informs, suggests opportunities, and justifies preferences for the purpose of forming cooperation and alliances between individuals and groups. We find that negative or juridical philosophy(truth or law) decides, states limits, and discounts preferences, for the purpose of resolving conflicts between individuals and groups. We find that juridical philosophy attempts to explain the common law, without necessarily succeeding at doing so. But that the transformation of juridical philosophy to juridical science is eminently possible – we just may not like what we learn, any more than we learned in each previous reformation of our thinking. Natural Law (propertarianism), is a negative, descriptive, juridical science, not a fictional literature. It is not a rational philosophy limited to internal correspondence. Its not a moral norm. Nor is it necessarily a moral intuition that all would agree to. It is the record of the arguments by which we decide conflicts over investments we have made, and protect. And from these records we can identify a very simple single law – non imposition of costs upon anything whatsoever that others have invested in producing whether informational, behavioral, material, or institutional. And from those observations we may discover general rules. Just as in any other science. And there is only one of them.

La ley natural de los hombres soberanos
Domesticamos a los hombres con comportamiento primitivo y animal para convivir y sacar provecho
Los animales no tienen agencia, sólo obedecen a impulsos. Son incapaces de hacer contratos, sólo aprovechar las cosas que les son convenientes. Los animales no pueden resolver disputas y conflictos de manera honrada, sólo son capaces de inventarse excusas para su comportamiento. Los hombres actuamos con base a incentivos, si los incentivos que tenemos en nuestro entorno son capaces de reforzar conductas honorables, habremos de producir mejores hombres. Caso contrario, si los incentivos que nuestro entorno nos proporciona son negativos, los hombres sacarán lo peor de su naturaleza. Es por ello que los hombres que se comportan como bestias pueden ser castigados o sobornados para ser entrenados y domesticados. Si dicho entrenamiento fracasa, pueden ser abandonados a la intemperie, esclavizados, encarcelados, condenados al ostracismo reproductivo para que su piscina genética y estirpe se diluya y eventualmente desaparezca con unas cuantas generaciones, o incluso pueden ser asesinados. Si entrenamos a los hombres que proceden como bestias con propiedad en su totalidad, les enseñamos modales, ética, moralidad y ley, habremos creado incentivos para que los hombres produzcan lo mejor de si. Nosotros, los hombres civilizados trabajamos con nuestros semejantes: Nuestros padres, maestros, comisarios, policías, jueces, jurados, soldados, generales, constructores y reyes. El animal puede ser entrenado para ser una bestia, un esclavo, un siervo, un dependiente, un hombre liberto, un civil, un soldado, un aristócrata: Un ser humano. Entrenar a los hombres requiere sensibilidad, conciencia, razón, conocimiento y agencia. Pero cada grado de entrenamiento exige más del animal, y muchos no pueden completar ese tipo de entrenamiento y trascender de su estado bestial al humano. Y tal es el mundo que sólo hay pocos hombres y muchos animales, muchos humanos que se comportan como bestias en mayor o menor grado. Afortunadamente, muchos pueden ser domesticados. Y una vez que son domesticados, de la misma manera que domesticamos al caballo, la vaca y las ovejas, al hombre podemos ponerlo a trabajar para hacer cosas buenas, para sacarle provecho, para tener ganancias. La domesticación de los hombres es la ocupación más rentable de todas, excepto por una: El éxito de criar y entrenar a los humanos. Porque mientras un caballo, una oveja y un perro son bienes transitables, producir un hombre honrado es una industria altamente rentable. La educación fue diseñada para administrar a otros hombres, para poder gobernar territorios, parar poder crear ejércitos, producir bienes y servicios y poder tener una familia sana de manera exitosa. NO hay razón alguna para que no podamos retornar a nuestra profesión tradicional como hombres: GOBERNAR. Y no hay razón de que no podamos volver a enseñarle a los hombres a gobernar. ¿que debemos enseñar?
- Aptitud (fitness), cacería, deportes, juegos, guerra. – Para sobrevivir
- Economía, ética, Ley Natural, Contratos, Instituciones, Estrategias Grupales. – Por cuestiones de necesidad
- Leer, aritmética, contabilidad, matemática, programación, ingeniería, medicina, física. – Cuestiones básicas
- Estetica, Arte, Mitología, Literatura. – Complementarias.
Podemos desechar la psicología, sociología, religión y estudios políticos. La restauración es sencilla. Regresar a nuestra mayor y más grande industria y producto es fácil: GOBERNAR. Y si se fracasa, cazar a las bestias humanas que quedan, es la mayor de las recompensas. Esta es la Filosofía de la Aristocracia que enseñamos en el Instituto Propietarista.

Political Quakerism?
—“If we view liberal humanism as a political religion, leftists are Anglicans and libertarians are a Quakerish sect, defending the beliefs of the majority but in a purer form, and only dangerous to the status quo in that they are not willing to actually defend it, or expand its dominion except through peaceful conversion.”—Waylon Hill

You Don’t Have it in the First Place
YOU DON”T HAVE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. 😉 Great questions. —1) From where does a polity gain more rights or powers under Natural Law than the individual has in the first place?— a) a right is a demand upon others. one does not intrinsically possess rights, one intrinsically requires them. Just as one does not intrinsically possess property he acquires it. You can REQUIRE, and DEMAND others not impose costs upon your possessions, but you cannot possess property in fact, or property rights in fact, without a contract for those rights in some form, and a polity or institution to insure them on your behalf, and you on theirs. Else we would not have this discussion. b) natural law provides decidability in matters of conflict regardless of the difference in opinions of the individuals in that conflict. c) using decidability one can judicially discover and outlaw the new means of parasitism, and the new forms of property, that we consistently invent. d) so regardless of initial presumptions the scope of our property rights can increase indefinitely under natural law regardless of the opinions of others (or ourselves). Ergo, under natural law, no matter what we expend our efforts and resources upon, we are able to convert it into property (exclusion of others from its use, taking, or consumption), as long as we do so without violating the exclusion others ask of us via reciprocity. —“2) How is productivity quantified in your system of validation for voluntary agreements and their externalities?”— a) preamble: i) possessions provide us with agency. ii) cooperation provides us with multipliers upon our agency. iii) it appears that we cannot compete (survive) without the agency provided by the transformation of personally insured possessions into cooperatively insured property. iv) And it is difficult to compete and survive without the agency provided by external cooperation (cooperation at scale via markets). v) ergo we must cooperate to produce property rights that provide us with agency, multipliers, and greater multipliers of the market. vi) and we must possess a means of decidability upon the scope of property to be insured (a property right), before we can cooperatively insure property. b) conversely, i) humans retaliate against impositions of costs upon the investments they have made, in order to obtain an interest in some good, service, information, or association. ii) humans retaliate more severely than the original cost imposed upon them as a means of dissuading future such violations. iii) we evolved these behaviors precisely because of the necessity of cooperation in our survival, competition, and prospering, in relation to nature and the competition of other groups. iv) and we evolved the institutions of property, property rights, and law, to prevent cycles of retaliation (feuds) that were endemic to human groups prior to the invention of the prevention of retaliation by the institutions of property, property rights, and law. The law – our first ‘commons’ – evolved to preserve cooperation and the benefits of cooperation. v) and humans organize to embrace familial generosity, in-group reciprocity, and out group cooperation, competition, or war, by the importance of cooperation in each of those domains of action. c) one cannot quantify changes in state only qualify changes in state – or we cannot yet do so with the instrumentation we have available to us today. And while we can qualify changes in state, we do not need to qualify, positive changes in state. We need only know if there have been negative changes in state – whether someone will retaliate. And those changes in state are limited to property in toto (demonstrated property – property in fact). That which we have obtained through homesteading, transformation of possessions, or exchange. And to prevent retaliation, we must limit ourselves to productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchanges limited to productive externalities. d) because when we limit ourselves as such, no possible retaliation can be instigated. cooperation is preserved. the fruits of cooperation are preserved: possessions, property, property rights, and markets. e) we do not choose the scope of property – others choose to invest their energies in obtaining interests by bringing changes in state of the universe into being through their actions. This interest serves to exclude you from imposition of costs upon that interest. And they choose to retaliate against impositions of costs upon them. So while we express via-positiva our necessity of a commons of property rights, the via negativa restatement of that demand, is that we seek to preserve cooperation and its fruits, by violating the terms of cooperation: the imposition of costs.
