“To the ashes of our fathers, and the temples of our gods.”
“At the age of twelve, sitting in a pew in our Catholic church, I gave an oath to my god: that should I become wealthy, I would build him a church. And have sought to fulfill that oath for the entirety of my life. But, I had no idea that while I meant wealth in the form of money and a church in the form of a building, that he meant wealth in the form of knowledge and a church in the form of a reformation.” – Aryan

I. A Rational and Scientific Language For Political Discourse
It’s not only impossible for conservatives to conduct a rational debate using their antiquarian arational moral arguments – arguments that others disagree with, – but more importantly, conservatives cannot use logic, reason and science to reform their ancient social system when our knowledge about the world changes significantly.
The Law of Nature improves the civic political debate by giving conservatives a rational language to both express their ideas, demonstrate the superiority of them, and open their ideas to reform when needed.

II. Complete The Enlightenment Transition in Thought From Authoritarian Monopoly to Sovereign Voluntary Market
Complete the Enlightenment by converting discourse from monopoly justification: religion and morality, to competitive criticism: science and law.
III. Reverse and Reduce or Eliminate The Ability to Lie and Deceive In Political Discourse.
While philosophy evolved out of the western need for truthful debate, the discipline of philosophy, particularly since Darwin’s era, and specifically since the Cosmopolitan enlightenment, has been systematically used as a vehicle for deception and the near destruction of western civilization. How can we prevent the use of argument to deceive, lie and damage our high trust society?
IV. A Return To Sovereignty, Evolution, through continuous Calculation Using voluntary Exchange in Markets.
After Representative Democracy: An Institutional Solution To The Problem Of Post-Agrarian Politics Providing an improvement to our institutions so that people with incompatible goals can cooperate for mutual benefit.
V. Demands Under Threat of Insurrection, Revolution, or Civil War
One cannot conduct a revolution without (a) an institutional objective that solves the current problem of conflict, (b) a means of conducting an argument in favor of those institutions, (c) moral authority in the hearts and minds of the men who must conduct a revolt, and (d) a methodology with which to force the change, or pay the consequence of not changing: nullification, secession, revolution, or civil war. This work is an effort to satisfy those four conditions: either we peacefully restore our western civilization, or we incrementally drive toward civil war to do so by force.
VI. The Law of Nature
An Enduring, Authoritative, Law of Western Civilization, beyond which no one may transgress by word or deed without suffering restitution, punishment, death, familicide, kinicide, or genocide, by any and all men within that civilization, regardless of rank.

The Problem
(Why Western Creativity and Science)
(unwritten western canon)
Thesis
The West Not First, but Was Faster Than The Rest. Fast enough to defeat the red queens of regression to the mean.
The PIE Character: Talk, Pragmatism – less afraid of nature for good reason.The horse the wheel and bronze – the Revolution: man can win. Transcendence into Gods.Profit from Rule – Destined to Rule – Domestication of Man
Without central resource curse, retained truth and sovereignty.
From that martial truth – empirical – and those martial oaths, the west evolved.All our differential institutions ‘reason’ by trade – we simply calculate adaptation faster.
The Solution
The End of History is the Truthful Society: When we can speak the truth in the language of the universe we have transcended from animal to man to hero to the gods we imagined.But to achieve transcendence, to prevent our conquest, to preserve our special abilities and achievements for mankind, we must return to truth and eliminate our lies.
We must complete the enlightenment for mankind, and for our ancestors and descendants.Even though we were first. With discipline and effort, every tribe, nation, and race can transcend. Or conversely, every tribe, nation, and race can devolve. It is a choice.

We must complete the enlightenment for mankind, and for our ancestors and descendants.Even though we were first. With discipline and effort, every tribe, nation, and race can transcend. Or conversely, every tribe, nation, and race can devolve. It is a choice.
An Overview of the Propertarian Program of Natural Law
[A] little context will help: Propertarian Natural Law is analogous in method, intent, and scope to the work of Aristotle and Epicurus in the ancient world, or Locke, Smith, Hume, and the Founders in the Modern world. And to some degree, by the same analogy, P-Law completes the Aristotelian program in logical and scientific terms. In that sense, it is not something you will pick up easily or quickly. If you were to study programming, physics, economics, and law, in upper-level university courses (or graduate courses) it’s about the same amount of work as those degrees. The big leaps are 1) the computational revolution, which is far more significant an innovation in logic than is obvious today, and is at least as important as Descarte’s restoration of mathematics to geometry, Newton and Leibnitz’s calculus. Because computation restores logic, math, science, economics, and law, to ‘operations'(meaning realism, naturalism, and actions) rather than ideals (meaning words and the logic of sets). This operationalism completes the reunification of european thought that was interrupted by the Abrahamic dark ages. And 2) via-negativa: adversarial falsification, and therefore survival instead of justification and proof. 3) and the difficulty in learning to speak in complete sentences in operational prose, because doing so prohibits pretense of knowledge. That counter-intuitive combination is difficult while the rest of the concepts are more intuitive.
The System of Thought
[P]ropertarianism as a System of Thought consists of the following features:
Including:
1. An Explanation:
i) The Uniqueness of Western Civilization: “The Group Strategy (Philosophy) of Western Civilization in Scientific Terms: Excellence and Heroism, Sovereignty and Reciprocity, Truth and Duty, The Jury and Markets in Everything.”
ii) The Failure of the Enlightenment: “The Crisis of the 20th and 21st Centuries as a failure to apply that strategy and adapt to counter the industrialization of pseudoscience, sophism, denial, and deceit;
iii) The Second Conquest of the West: The Crisis of the 20th and 21st century as a repetition of the revolt against western civilization, truth, reason, and law, under Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and the dark ages of ignorance and destruction that resulted from them.”
2. A System of Measurement, Logic, Vocabulary, and Grammar:
i) System Of Measurement: ( … ) “A system of measurement that provides universal commensurability in thought, display, word, and deed.”
ii) Vocabulary: “A set of fully commensurable cross-disciplinary definitions in operational language.
iii) Grammars: “A reduction of language to the equivalent of a periodic table of the elements, and the underlying geometry of thought.”
iiii) Logic: “An Operational Logic using Operational Grammar for using these definitions.”
v) Value Neutral Language: “A Value Neutral Language of metaphysics, epistemology, psychology, sociology, ethics, politics, and group evolutionary strategy, suitable for the construction of law, delivery of testimony, and adjudication of differences in court.”
3. A Methodology:
i) Epistemology: “The Completion of the Scientific Method and its application to the full scope of human knowledge, resulting in a universal, formal, epistemological method sufficient for adjudication of differences in court.”
ii) Ethics, Law, Politics: “The strict, algorithmic, construction of the natural, common law, of reciprocity (tort);”
4. A Body of Law:
ii) Law: “A body of law answering the cannon of questions – providing a common law of equally sovereign men, alternative to Roman, Napoleonic, and Continental law of unequally sovereign men”
iii) Constitution: A Constitution of that law, completing the Aristotelian, Roman, British, and American Constitutional Project.”
iiii) Policies: “A set of policies under that constitution, solving the otherwise unsolvable problems of the current age.”
5. A Reformation:
i) Reformation: “A reformation and unification of all fields”
– Language, Logic, and Mathematics
– Psychology, Sociology, and Group Strategy
– Money, Credit-Finance, and Economics
– Ethics, Law, and Politics
– Mindfulness-Religion, Education-Academy, and Government-Rule
6. A Solution
i) A Solution: “A solution to the political problem of our age.”
ii) A Declaration: “A Declaration demanding the implementation of this constitution, as reformations of, by amendments to, the existing American constitution, restoring the historical European, Germanic, English, British, and American rights of equally sovereign men, and a means of successful insurrection to force its adoption if force is required – which it will be.”
We Summarize These Ideas in the Paragraph:
What is Propertarianism?
“Propertarianism consists of the completion of the Scientific Method; its application to the totality of human knowledge; a universally commensurable, value neutral, vocabulary and logic of the social sciences; its embodiment in the common law of tort; a Constitution of strictly constructed Natural Law, and as a consequence the eradication of superstition, pseudoscience, sophism, fraud, and deceit from the commercial, financial, economic, political, and informational commons.”
[T]he western canon was never reduced to scientific form – and instead was spread across a vast multi-disciplinary literature. Here we explain the uniqueness of western civilization, and the european peoples, and provide the western canon in scientific form, in the wisdom literature of our people: the common law, as The Natural Law, Our Sciences, Technology, Histories, and Mythos as European People,
What is Propertarianism Not?
[I]t is not an ideology, a philosophy, a theology. If you want a religion, a political ideology, a personal or political philosophy, you will not find it here. They are but literature for discovery of opportunity. This is logic, science, and engineering using the principle tool of social engineering: the law. ideology suggests, philosophy advises, theology demands, but logic, science, and action decide.
But because it is a logic(consistency), science(correspondence), and methodology(operational possibility) of law, and a logic, science, and methodology of testimony, it applies to, and tests all display, word, and deed – regardless of discipline or context.
Propertarianism is a generational leap in the production of constitutions under the common law of equals. It is a purely via-negativa methodology for using the court and the law, under threat perjury, for the incremental suppression of innovations in criminal, corrupt, unethical, and immoral words, displays, and deeds – and in particular 19th-21st century innovations in mathematical innumeracy, pseudoscience, fundamentalism, sophism, denialism, propaganda and deceit invented to undermine the rule of law, our system of government, our civilization, and the western tradition of family, commons, polity, individual sovereignty and responsibility.
Use as a Philosophy?
[I] wrote Propertarianism as a logic, science, and methodology of law and testimony to complete the empirical (aristotelian-roman-anglo) revolution, and create a value-neutral language of social science, ethics, politics, and law.
I used the Aristotelian categories from the discipline of philosophy partly to compete with the traditional discipline, complete the demarcation between truth (science), philosophy (choice), and the sophism and pseudoscience – particularly in metaphysics – that occupies the vast majority of what passes for philosophical prose.
So, Propertarianism can be used as a philosophy only in the sense that science(truth, decidability) can be used as a philosophy(preference, choice) – because what separates a science (truth) from a philosophy (choice) is decidability(science) versus preference(philosophy).
Propertarianism can be used as a philosophy for those who desire transcendence (prosperity, persistence, evolution) by achievement (Darwinian, evolutionary), principally because they are already some degree of competitive (comparative advantage), successful (domesticated, evolved), transcendent (evolutionary).
Conversely, it can be used defensively against those who fear being left behind in the evolutionary progress of self, polity, and mankind.
Use as a Group Evolutionary Strategy?
The group strategy of “Excellence and Heroism, Sovereignty and Reciprocity, Truth before Face and Duty before Self or Family, The Jury and Markets in Every Aspect of Life” have, for thousands of years, even throughout the Abrahamic Dark Ages of superstition and deceit, served as the group evolutionary strategy of the european peoples and is the founding Law, Custom, Tradition, and Philosophy of Western Civilization.
That strategy is responsible for the success of the indo european expansion, the success of the greco roman ancient world, and the success of the northern european world’s dragging of mankind, kicking and screaming out of ignorance, superstition, hard labor, poverty, starvation, suffering, disease, child mortality, early death, and the vicissitudes of a universe all but hostile to human life – while all other civilizations failed, regressed, stagnated and calcified, or progressed slowly if at all.
The reason is quite simple: it is the optimum method of calculating and adapting to change, while providing incentive to innovate and change as a continuous contribution to the commons, and the outsized returns that commons provide for self, family, polity, nation, civilization, and race.
Western civilization alone solved the hard problem of the transcendence of man by continuously defeating the dark forces of time, ignorance, and human laziness.
. . .
At A Little More Depth
1) An Explanation of Western Evolutionary Excellence:
[T]he reason for the disproportionate contribution and success of the west in the ancient and modern worlds. And The history of the cycles of conflict between western(european) and eastern(asian) masculine civilizations against and central(semitic) feminine civilizations.
Adaptive Velocity
[T]he secret to western civilization, besides being a small, relatively poor population on the edge of the bronze age, is that by the choice of voluntary militia, military tactics of maneuver requiring contractualism, and heroic sovereignty (ownership of gains), we necessitated natural law, and markets in everything. And as a consequence the west was not first, but in every era we were fastest. In other words, truth, promise(contract), natural law, and jury allow us to adapt faster than every other known method of human cooperation.
2) A Methodology: The completion of the Scientific Method.
[T]he completion of the scientific method is the core achievement of the work.
Completing the scientific method permits restatements of metaphysics, psychology, sociology, epistemology, ethics, politics, and group evolutionary strategy (the cooperation, competition, and conflict of civilizations), into a single commensurable discipline unifies all human knowledge – and oddly puts the law at the top of the knowledge hierarchy.
In retrospect, completion of the scientific method explains the reason for the rise of social pseudoscience from Marx, Boas, Freud, Cantor, Mises, Mainstream Economics, The Frankfurt School. It explains the recent Success in circumventing the Constitution; the libertarianism of Rothbard/Rand, and the Neoconservatism of Strauss. It explains the Postmodernists and the rise of postmodernism in the academy. And the Feminists, and the feminization of markets, the workplace, norms, educations, and institutions, and the infantilization of the population as a consequence.
3) A Value Neutral Language and Logic of Psychology, Sociology, Ethics, Politics, and Group Evolutionary Strategy.
[A] value neutral language and logic of psychology, sociology, ethics, politics, and group evolutionary strategy, in other words a value neutral language of the individual and social sciences.
4) An Operational Logic of the Natural Law of Human Cooperation
[H]owever we focus our application of the completed scientific method on Economics, Ethics, Law Politics, and Group Evolutionary Strategy, and we use demonstrated property in its totality as a unit of measure – in not only economic, but ethical, moral, legal, and political commensurability. So the word ‘propertarianism’ refers to the use of demonstrated interests, and the defense of those interests, as a unit of measure providing commensurability, and the test of reciprocity as truth or falsehood, good or bad, ethical or unethical, moral or immoral, and legal or illegal. And in fact, this is how all law is constructed today in one way or another, and to one degree or another.
So, the correct name for the work we call ‘propertarianism’ would be The Natural Law.
We just can’t use it because the term has been so loaded throughout history, on the one hand, and because it’s not an identifiable ‘brand’ on the other.
So the simple version is:
Laws of Nature = The Physical Sciences.Natural Law = The Social Sciences.
Sorry, but it’s a paradigm shift that we just have to pay the cost of learning.
5) The Reformation of our Law and our Constitution with Algorithmic Natural Law
[T]he Use of the Natural Law to Produce Strictly Constructed, Operationally Stated, Algorithmic, Natural Law Constitutions, and therefore Societies, Nations, and Civilizations, in Accordance with Natural Law.
The principle achievement of this law is to extend the warranty of due diligence from market goods and services, to all information placed into the commons: the market for information.
The result is a conversion of ‘free speech’ to ‘free truthful and reciprocal speech’, just as we have limited free commercial speech to free truthful commercial speech, and enforced an involuntary warranty of due diligence, and legal standing (the right to sue) those who violate that law.
6) A Political Order for Post Industrial Man:
[G]iven that we are now in the post subsistence-agrarian era, we are wealthy enough to express our genetic differences, and as such are entering into political conflict between the ancient female herd reproductive strategy and civilizations, and the male pack reproductive strategy and civilizations.
It appears we can no longer compromise, and neither interest can be pursued without some sort of oppression or genocide. So we can no longer assume we will create a one-world-government and a uniformity among peoples, but instead, we must separate, prosper, and speciate according to our genetic interests, and our differences in moral intuition because of those interests.
As such the constitutions we recommend, are those that facilitate ‘letting a thousand nations bloom’ and returning to the speciation that we were in the process of achieving prior to both the anglo conquest of the world by sea, and the gradual transformation of our means of production from hunter-gathering and speciation, to agrarianism and unification.
The future is very different from that under which the majority of our history was written down.
7) A Constitution for The Future:
[T]he completion of the Jeffersonian Experiment with A new constitution of internally consistent, externally correspondent, fully reciprocal, sufficiently complete, strictly constructed law that can be defended from corruption by Pilpul and Critique (Legal Sophism and Pseudoscience).
Political Activists, particularly centrists, conservatives and libertarians will understand the law even if they cannot understand the technical aspects of the science and logic.
8) The Method Applied: Policies of Reform:
[A] set of policies written in that law that end Corporatism, Politicization, Propagandism, Lying in the Commons, Financialization, Parasitism, Procedural Genocide, and the war of the immoral top and envious bottom against the productive and moral middle.
The general audience will be most interested in these policies, if the constitution, the science, and the logic are overwhelming.
An Overview of the Propertarian Program of Natural Law
[A] little context will help: Propertarian Natural Law is analogous in method, intent, and scope to the work of Aristotle and Epicurus in the ancient world, or Locke, Smith, Hume, and the Founders in the Modern world. And to some degree, by the same analogy, P-Law completes the Aristotelian program in logical and scientific terms. In that sense, it is not something you will pick up easily or quickly. If you were to study programming, physics, economics, and law, in upper-level university courses (or graduate courses) it’s about the same amount of work as those degrees. The big leaps are 1) the computational revolution, which is far more significant an innovation in logic than is obvious today, and is at least as important as Descarte’s restoration of mathematics to geometry, Newton and Leibnitz’s calculus. Because computation restores logic, math, science, economics, and law, to ‘operations'(meaning realism, naturalism, and actions) rather than ideals (meaning words and the logic of sets). This operationalism completes the reunification of european thought that was interrupted by the Abrahamic dark ages. And 2) via-negativa: adversarial falsification, and therefore survival instead of justification and proof. 3) and the difficulty in learning to speak in complete sentences in operational prose, because doing so prohibits pretense of knowledge. That counter-intuitive combination is difficult while the rest of the concepts are more intuitive.
The System of Thought
[P]ropertarianism as a System of Thought consists of the following features:
Including:
1. An Explanation:
i) The Uniqueness of Western Civilization: “The Group Strategy (Philosophy) of Western Civilization in Scientific Terms: Excellence and Heroism, Sovereignty and Reciprocity, Truth and Duty, The Jury and Markets in Everything.”
ii) The Failure of the Enlightenment: “The Crisis of the 20th and 21st Centuries as a failure to apply that strategy and adapt to counter the industrialization of pseudoscience, sophism, denial, and deceit;
iii) The Second Conquest of the West: The Crisis of the 20th and 21st century as a repetition of the revolt against western civilization, truth, reason, and law, under Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and the dark ages of ignorance and destruction that resulted from them.”
2. A System of Measurement, Logic, Vocabulary, and Grammar:
i) System Of Measurement: ( … ) “A system of measurement that provides universal commensurability in thought, display, word, and deed.”
ii) Vocabulary: “A set of fully commensurable cross-disciplinary definitions in operational language.
iii) Grammars: “A reduction of language to the equivalent of a periodic table of the elements, and the underlying geometry of thought.”
iiii) Logic: “An Operational Logic using Operational Grammar for using these definitions.”
v) Value Neutral Language: “A Value Neutral Language of metaphysics, epistemology, psychology, sociology, ethics, politics, and group evolutionary strategy, suitable for the construction of law, delivery of testimony, and adjudication of differences in court.”
3. A Methodology:
i) Epistemology: “The Completion of the Scientific Method and its application to the full scope of human knowledge, resulting in a universal, formal, epistemological method sufficient for adjudication of differences in court.”
ii) Ethics, Law, Politics: “The strict, algorithmic, construction of the natural, common law, of reciprocity (tort);”
4. A Body of Law:
ii) Law: “A body of law answering the cannon of questions – providing a common law of equally sovereign men, alternative to Roman, Napoleonic, and Continental law of unequally sovereign men”
iii) Constitution: A Constitution of that law, completing the Aristotelian, Roman, British, and American Constitutional Project.”
iiii) Policies: “A set of policies under that constitution, solving the otherwise unsolvable problems of the current age.”
5. A Reformation:
i) Reformation: “A reformation and unification of all fields”
– Language, Logic, and Mathematics
– Psychology, Sociology, and Group Strategy
– Money, Credit-Finance, and Economics
– Ethics, Law, and Politics
– Mindfulness-Religion, Education-Academy, and Government-Rule
6. A Solution
i) A Solution: “A solution to the political problem of our age.”
ii) A Declaration: “A Declaration demanding the implementation of this constitution, as reformations of, by amendments to, the existing American constitution, restoring the historical European, Germanic, English, British, and American rights of equally sovereign men, and a means of successful insurrection to force its adoption if force is required – which it will be.”
We Summarize These Ideas in the Paragraph:
What is Propertarianism?
“Propertarianism consists of the completion of the Scientific Method; its application to the totality of human knowledge; a universally commensurable, value neutral, vocabulary and logic of the social sciences; its embodiment in the common law of tort; a Constitution of strictly constructed Natural Law, and as a consequence the eradication of superstition, pseudoscience, sophism, fraud, and deceit from the commercial, financial, economic, political, and informational commons.”
[T]he western canon was never reduced to scientific form – and instead was spread across a vast multi-disciplinary literature. Here we explain the uniqueness of western civilization, and the european peoples, and provide the western canon in scientific form, in the wisdom literature of our people: the common law, as The Natural Law, Our Sciences, Technology, Histories, and Mythos as European People,
What is Propertarianism Not?
[I]t is not an ideology, a philosophy, a theology. If you want a religion, a political ideology, a personal or political philosophy, you will not find it here. They are but literature for discovery of opportunity. This is logic, science, and engineering using the principle tool of social engineering: the law. ideology suggests, philosophy advises, theology demands, but logic, science, and action decide.
But because it is a logic(consistency), science(correspondence), and methodology(operational possibility) of law, and a logic, science, and methodology of testimony, it applies to, and tests all display, word, and deed – regardless of discipline or context.
Propertarianism is a generational leap in the production of constitutions under the common law of equals. It is a purely via-negativa methodology for using the court and the law, under threat perjury, for the incremental suppression of innovations in criminal, corrupt, unethical, and immoral words, displays, and deeds – and in particular 19th-21st century innovations in mathematical innumeracy, pseudoscience, fundamentalism, sophism, denialism, propaganda and deceit invented to undermine the rule of law, our system of government, our civilization, and the western tradition of family, commons, polity, individual sovereignty and responsibility.
Use as a Philosophy?
[I] wrote Propertarianism as a logic, science, and methodology of law and testimony to complete the empirical (aristotelian-roman-anglo) revolution, and create a value-neutral language of social science, ethics, politics, and law.
I used the Aristotelian categories from the discipline of philosophy partly to compete with the traditional discipline, complete the demarcation between truth (science), philosophy (choice), and the sophism and pseudoscience – particularly in metaphysics – that occupies the vast majority of what passes for philosophical prose.
So, Propertarianism can be used as a philosophy only in the sense that science(truth, decidability) can be used as a philosophy(preference, choice) – because what separates a science (truth) from a philosophy (choice) is decidability(science) versus preference(philosophy).
Propertarianism can be used as a philosophy for those who desire transcendence (prosperity, persistence, evolution) by achievement (Darwinian, evolutionary), principally because they are already some degree of competitive (comparative advantage), successful (domesticated, evolved), transcendent (evolutionary).
Conversely, it can be used defensively against those who fear being left behind in the evolutionary progress of self, polity, and mankind.
Use as a Group Evolutionary Strategy?
The group strategy of “Excellence and Heroism, Sovereignty and Reciprocity, Truth before Face and Duty before Self or Family, The Jury and Markets in Every Aspect of Life” have, for thousands of years, even throughout the Abrahamic Dark Ages of superstition and deceit, served as the group evolutionary strategy of the european peoples and is the founding Law, Custom, Tradition, and Philosophy of Western Civilization.
That strategy is responsible for the success of the indo european expansion, the success of the greco roman ancient world, and the success of the northern european world’s dragging of mankind, kicking and screaming out of ignorance, superstition, hard labor, poverty, starvation, suffering, disease, child mortality, early death, and the vicissitudes of a universe all but hostile to human life – while all other civilizations failed, regressed, stagnated and calcified, or progressed slowly if at all.
The reason is quite simple: it is the optimum method of calculating and adapting to change, while providing incentive to innovate and change as a continuous contribution to the commons, and the outsized returns that commons provide for self, family, polity, nation, civilization, and race.
Western civilization alone solved the hard problem of the transcendence of man by continuously defeating the dark forces of time, ignorance, and human laziness.

At A Little More Depth
1) An Explanation of Western Evolutionary Excellence:
[T]he reason for the disproportionate contribution and success of the west in the ancient and modern worlds. And The history of the cycles of conflict between western(european) and eastern(asian) masculine civilizations against and central(semitic) feminine civilizations.
Adaptive Velocity
[T]he secret to western civilization, besides being a small, relatively poor population on the edge of the bronze age, is that by the choice of voluntary militia, military tactics of maneuver requiring contractualism, and heroic sovereignty (ownership of gains), we necessitated natural law, and markets in everything. And as a consequence the west was not first, but in every era we were fastest. In other words, truth, promise(contract), natural law, and jury allow us to adapt faster than every other known method of human cooperation.
2) A Methodology: The completion of the Scientific Method.
[T]he completion of the scientific method is the core achievement of the work.
Completing the scientific method permits restatements of metaphysics, psychology, sociology, epistemology, ethics, politics, and group evolutionary strategy (the cooperation, competition, and conflict of civilizations), into a single commensurable discipline unifies all human knowledge – and oddly puts the law at the top of the knowledge hierarchy.

It explains the recent Success in circumventing the Constitution; the libertarianism of Rothbard/Rand, and the Neoconservatism of Strauss. It explains the Postmodernists and the rise of postmodernism in the academy. And the Feminists, and the feminization of markets, the workplace, norms, educations, and institutions, and the infantilization of the population as a consequence.
3) A Value Neutral Language and Logic of Psychology, Sociology, Ethics, Politics, and Group Evolutionary Strategy.
[A] value neutral language and logic of psychology, sociology, ethics, politics, and group evolutionary strategy, in other words a value neutral language of the individual and social sciences.
4) An Operational Logic of the Natural Law of Human Cooperation
[H]owever we focus our application of the completed scientific method on Economics, Ethics, Law Politics, and Group Evolutionary Strategy, and we use demonstrated property in its totality as a unit of measure – in not only economic, but ethical, moral, legal, and political commensurability. So the word ‘propertarianism’ refers to the use of demonstrated interests, and the defense of those interests, as a unit of measure providing commensurability, and the test of reciprocity as truth or falsehood, good or bad, ethical or unethical, moral or immoral, and legal or illegal. And in fact, this is how all law is constructed today in one way or another, and to one degree or another.
So, the correct name for the work we call ‘propertarianism’ would be The Natural Law.
We just can’t use it because the term has been so loaded throughout history, on the one hand, and because it’s not an identifiable ‘brand’ on the other.
So the simple version is:
Laws of Nature = The Physical Sciences.Natural Law = The Social Sciences.
Sorry, but it’s a paradigm shift that we just have to pay the cost of learning.
5) The Reformation of our Law and our Constitution with Algorithmic Natural Law
[T]he Use of the Natural Law to Produce Strictly Constructed, Operationally Stated, Algorithmic, Natural Law Constitutions, and therefore Societies, Nations, and Civilizations, in Accordance with Natural Law.
The principle achievement of this law is to extend the warranty of due diligence from market goods and services, to all information placed into the commons: the market for information.
The result is a conversion of ‘free speech’ to ‘free truthful and reciprocal speech’, just as we have limited free commercial speech to free truthful commercial speech, and enforced an involuntary warranty of due diligence, and legal standing (the right to sue) those who violate that law.
6) A Political Order for Post Industrial Man:
[G]iven that we are now in the post subsistence-agrarian era, we are wealthy enough to express our genetic differences, and as such are entering into political conflict between the ancient female herd reproductive strategy and civilizations, and the male pack reproductive strategy and civilizations.
It appears we can no longer compromise, and neither interest can be pursued without some sort of oppression or genocide. So we can no longer assume we will create a one-world-government and a uniformity among peoples, but instead, we must separate, prosper, and speciate according to our genetic interests, and our differences in moral intuition because of those interests.
As such the constitutions we recommend, are those that facilitate ‘letting a thousand nations bloom’ and returning to the speciation that we were in the process of achieving prior to both the anglo conquest of the world by sea, and the gradual transformation of our means of production from hunter-gathering and speciation, to agrarianism and unification.
The future is very different from that under which the majority of our history was written down.
7) A Constitution for The Future:
[T]he completion of the Jeffersonian Experiment with A new constitution of internally consistent, externally correspondent, fully reciprocal, sufficiently complete, strictly constructed law that can be defended from corruption by Pilpul and Critique (Legal Sophism and Pseudoscience).
Political Activists, particularly centrists, conservatives and libertarians will understand the law even if they cannot understand the technical aspects of the science and logic.
8) The Method Applied: Policies of Reform:
[A] set of policies written in that law that end Corporatism, Politicization, Propagandism, Lying in the Commons, Financialization, Parasitism, Procedural Genocide, and the war of the immoral top and envious bottom against the productive and moral middle.
The general audience will be most interested in these policies, if the constitution, the science, and the logic are overwhelming.
A Think Tank. What does that mean? A group of experts providing advice and ideas on specific political or economic problems. Or more honestly, a non-profit organization that raises money to support experts who produce ideas, and to publish and promote their ideas.
What’s The Propertarian Institute’s Mission?
Train and organize a number of talented people capable of altering the public discourse by daily contributions to the “info-sphere” using propertarian, testimonial, and market government arguments.
To publish The Law of Nature (Book), Produce educational videos, Produce a quarterly Journal, and to Produce Conferences on Western Civilization through the lens of Natural Law.
To raise enough money to fund a small number of people full time, operating from the lower cost economy of Ukraine.
To conduct Formal Courses and issue Degrees in Natural Law that are equivalent to but superior to existing law degrees.
To organize a series of movements for the reformations of the Academy, The Law, Banking, Government, and Religion as aggressively as the movements that deformed them.
To restore Western Civilization to the cult and culture of Sovereignty, governed by Natural Law of Sovereigns.
In other words, to reverse the damage of the Marxists and the Frankfurt School in this era, and the forcible closure of the stoic schools in the ancient era.
What Are The Near Term Plans for the Institute?
Our current mission is to:
Produce three courses of videos: Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced.
Publish the Law of Nature in hardcover and softcover forms.

What’s Your Background?
Curt’s BackgroundYOUTH
• My family is old, Bretton, Norman, and English. And my ancestors were Puritans from central England. Early residents or founders of the New Haven colony, Wallingford, Middletown and rabid members of the revolution – a long history of anti-statism.
• My father grew up a quite privileged New England protestant, and my mother was a naive French Catholic girl who was the daughter of Maine potato farmers. And while I have maintained a Catholic idealism, my intellectual sensibilities are protestant.
• I grew up in a small, idyllic, Mennonite farm town in western New York whose Victorian artistry is frozen in 1914.
• I was born on the very edge of the autistic spectrum with Asperger’s mild impediment to empathy, and a deeper case of the Autistic’s obsessive thinking – such that, put to good use, it is a benefit to me much more so than a handicap – I view it as a ‘gift’. But in childhood, I paid the usual social price of being ‘different’ (a nerd). And I have had a very difficult time ‘taming’ that obsessive gift. I try to help fellow aspies understand themselves when possible.
• As a child I read encyclopedias – often multiple times. The neutral point of view appealed to my autistic sensibilities. I think scientifically because I have no other choice really. Empathy is pretty useless for me. I had to make due with loyalty.
• I did reasonably well in school, and enjoyed it, but found I operated much better if I worked at my own pace which is somewhat slower than that of my peers. Since that time I have learned that many of us in philosophy share this very ‘skeptical’ and pensive method of functioning. The continental academy is more suitable to the autistic mind than the American which is more concerned with social integration into the empire than learning.
• I started working early, at age ten or younger. I loved working. I still love working. 14 or 18 hours a day if I can.
• My father was an intelligent but alcoholic man and a violent tyrant who felt he’d underachieved (he had).
• I was in multiple fights – usually at the bus stop – every month for most of my childhood. They only stopped when I matured early and became a little more dangerous to tangle with. The guy who was my nemesis was killed by police after murdering a woman and her husband in the 80’s.
• I grew up feeling that I must protect myself and others – particularly women – from evil. I’m sympathetic that Alexander and Napoleon are the products of mothers under duress.
• If you know me personally, I am, like most Aspies, a rather gentle, generous, and happy hamster.
That is all the explanation that is necessary to understand me in a nutshell. And I put it out in public to remove it from the table.
EDUCATION
• I studied fine art, art history and art theory, a little political science, as well as some electronic engineering in college. But it’s art theory and art history that has framed my thinking about mankind.
• While I treat my art education as a precious foundation of my soul, I feel the great mistake I made in life was in not joining the philosophy department, or the literature department, when asked. I was too concerned with making a living. I was too ignorant to understand the possibilities.
• Self study is far more effective for me than organized education. I need to and enjoy thinking deeply about ideas and relating them to one another.
CAREER
• My goal was, since the age of 12, to make enough money to write (or create art) full time.• I have been a principal or founder of ten companies, almost all involving the use of technology to solve various business problems. I am very good at what I do. And prior to the crash in 2008 I think I had a reputation of one of the better regional CEO’s. But my inability to control my board and partners while at the same time retaining my loyalty to them harmed that reputation.• I’ve had cancer twice and two secondary infections that almost killed me, so I tend to have a very one-day-at-a-time view of life, and I feel that I need to fulfill my philosophical goals.
• I have had all the toys (Porsches, Ferrari, Jaguar, multiple homes, world travel, etc.). And I don’t particularly care for them any longer. I just care that I can write full time.
• So in 2012 I sold everything, moved to Ukraine, and I split my time between writing and product development. And that combination I find fulfilling. Writing is too solitary for me, and business is too enjoyable.
LIFESTYLE
• I work with much younger people, and I live like them, and mostly I think like them. Age is a choice. I live and work like I am 25 and I hope that never changes again.
WORK STYLE
• I started keeping a blog in the early 00s when I decided that I had to improve my writing skills. In 2009 or so I started using FB as a sketchpad as an experiment. Partly to ensure that I didn’t write in my inner voice. It worked.• I do my work in public like a medieval street vendor. It turns out that people like watching the progress. I find their encouragement, objections and criticisms helpful. And it makes the work less isolating.
• I wake up and write immediately without thinking of anything else. Some days are fluid and some are less so. When I am done writing (usually around noon) I go to the office and work until 7 or 8pm. Come home, eat, and then work a little – reading economics blogs and papers. I don’t really watch media any longer. But I really like crash and fail videos before bed. 🙂
Q&A: “Curt, Aren’t You Worried About Your Public Presence?”
TRANSPARENCY AND MOTIVES
I am an American citizen. I live in Ukraine. I have been writing patriotic advocacy since the early 1980s. I have an employee record as a member of the justice department, a long tax history, a long business entrepreneurship history, and a contract with ‘the state department’ for certain unspecified services for which I would not have been permitted if I was other than a patriot.
I use my real name. I say everything in the open. My objective is patriotic and in defense of the constitution. My purpose is to restore that constitution to its original intent by providing the means of strictly constructing natural law. I do not participate in or encourage direct action only counsel on what I understand is a deterministic future conflict due to deterministic, uncontrollable, conflicts of interest.
I don’t ‘hate’ on anyone – I criticize all peoples equally. And I have done all this intentionally. When dam is going to break of its own natural accord, some of us plan for it, some of us scribe it so it breaks where its optimum, and some of us figure out what to do with the pressure released, so that it produces some form of good.
I am absolutely certain that a very large percentage of the population will at least appreciate, if not advocate, the legal, political, and economic solutions I recommend -and that any who don’t, will self-select as identifiable criminals engaged in conspiracy and fraud – even if only conspiracy and fraud of ignorance and convenience.
Q&A: “Curt, Are you sick?“ (Because of how your voice sounds?)
[I] have allergy induced asthma – mostly to pollens, preservatives, and things that are fermented. So I use an inhaler. The inhaled particles that carry the steroids that reduce the inflammation in your lungs, also land on your vocal cords on the way in, and affect them.
So when I‘m tired, dehydrated, and my asthma is bothering me, you can really hear it in my voice. And that‘s what you sometimes hear on the interviews. I‘m actually fine. (If you get me really going though, I have all the passion and fury of my Puritan ancestors thumping the bible of righteousness just before they go to war. 🙂 )
I have had a number of very serious illnesses in the past due to overdoing it, but my health has improved dramatically after leaving America and its preservatives behind.
Thanks for asking. 🙂
A Think Tank. What does that mean? A group of experts providing advice and ideas on specific political or economic problems. Or more honestly, a non-profit organization that raises money to support experts who produce ideas, and to publish and promote their ideas.
What’s The Propertarian Institute’s Mission?
Train and organize a number of talented people capable of altering the public discourse by daily contributions to the “info-sphere” using propertarian, testimonial, and market government arguments.
To publish The Law of Nature (Book), Produce educational videos, Produce a quarterly Journal, and to Produce Conferences on Western Civilization through the lens of Natural Law.
To raise enough money to fund a small number of people full time, operating from the lower cost economy of Ukraine.
To conduct Formal Courses and issue Degrees in Natural Law that are equivalent to but superior to existing law degrees.
To organize a series of movements for the reformations of the Academy, The Law, Banking, Government, and Religion as aggressively as the movements that deformed them.
To restore Western Civilization to the cult and culture of Sovereignty, governed by Natural Law of Sovereigns.
In other words, to reverse the damage of the Marxists and the Frankfurt School in this era, and the forcible closure of the stoic schools in the ancient era.
What Are The Near Term Plans for the Institute?
Our current mission is to:
Produce three courses of videos: Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced.
Publish the Law of Nature in hardcover and softcover forms.
(Yes you can contribute to the cause)
About Curt Doolittle
How Can I Reach You?
The best way is the contact page because it shows up immediately in my email.
I use Facebook as my working journal so I am pretty much always online. It’s my preferred method of communicating – if we are ‘friends’. Otherwise contact me here because Facebook filters out messages from people who aren’t ‘friends’.
Will you Answer an Email, do a Group Chat, Podcast, Presentation, or Media Interview?
It’s our job. 🙂 Of course we’ll talk to you, a group of friends, your audience, the media, or a meeting or conference. We just have a few asks, so that we are prepared for the topic.
Contact us on the Contact Page and…
Tell us a bit about your audience, so that we understand what level of experience we’re talking to.
Tell us a bit about what questions you’d like to ask, so we can customize what we will say to your frame of reference.
Tell us your Time Zone. We are no good in the middle of the night.
Give us a day or two’s notice so that we can make a few notes.
What’s Your Background?
Curt’s BackgroundYOUTH
• My family is old, Bretton, Norman, and English. And my ancestors were Puritans from central England. Early residents or founders of the New Haven colony, Wallingford, Middletown and rabid members of the revolution – a long history of anti-statism.
• My father grew up a quite privileged New England protestant, and my mother was a naive French Catholic girl who was the daughter of Maine potato farmers. And while I have maintained a Catholic idealism, my intellectual sensibilities are protestant.
• I grew up in a small, idyllic, Mennonite farm town in western New York whose Victorian artistry is frozen in 1914.
• I was born on the very edge of the autistic spectrum with Asperger’s mild impediment to empathy, and a deeper case of the Autistic’s obsessive thinking – such that, put to good use, it is a benefit to me much more so than a handicap – I view it as a ‘gift’. But in childhood, I paid the usual social price of being ‘different’ (a nerd). And I have had a very difficult time ‘taming’ that obsessive gift. I try to help fellow aspies understand themselves when possible.
• As a child I read encyclopedias – often multiple times. The neutral point of view appealed to my autistic sensibilities. I think scientifically because I have no other choice really. Empathy is pretty useless for me. I had to make due with loyalty.
• I did reasonably well in school, and enjoyed it, but found I operated much better if I worked at my own pace which is somewhat slower than that of my peers. Since that time I have learned that many of us in philosophy share this very ‘skeptical’ and pensive method of functioning. The continental academy is more suitable to the autistic mind than the American which is more concerned with social integration into the empire than learning.
• I started working early, at age ten or younger. I loved working. I still love working. 14 or 18 hours a day if I can.
• My father was an intelligent but alcoholic man and a violent tyrant who felt he’d underachieved (he had).
• I was in multiple fights – usually at the bus stop – every month for most of my childhood. They only stopped when I matured early and became a little more dangerous to tangle with. The guy who was my nemesis was killed by police after murdering a woman and her husband in the 80’s.
• I grew up feeling that I must protect myself and others – particularly women – from evil. I’m sympathetic that Alexander and Napoleon are the products of mothers under duress.
• If you know me personally, I am, like most Aspies, a rather gentle, generous, and happy hamster.
That is all the explanation that is necessary to understand me in a nutshell. And I put it out in public to remove it from the table.
EDUCATION
• I studied fine art, art history and art theory, a little political science, as well as some electronic engineering in college. But it’s art theory and art history that has framed my thinking about mankind.
• While I treat my art education as a precious foundation of my soul, I feel the great mistake I made in life was in not joining the philosophy department, or the literature department, when asked. I was too concerned with making a living. I was too ignorant to understand the possibilities.
• Self study is far more effective for me than organized education. I need to and enjoy thinking deeply about ideas and relating them to one another.
CAREER
• My goal was, since the age of 12, to make enough money to write (or create art) full time.• I have been a principal or founder of ten companies, almost all involving the use of technology to solve various business problems. I am very good at what I do. And prior to the crash in 2008 I think I had a reputation of one of the better regional CEO’s. But my inability to control my board and partners while at the same time retaining my loyalty to them harmed that reputation.• I’ve had cancer twice and two secondary infections that almost killed me, so I tend to have a very one-day-at-a-time view of life, and I feel that I need to fulfill my philosophical goals.
• I have had all the toys (Porsches, Ferrari, Jaguar, multiple homes, world travel, etc.). And I don’t particularly care for them any longer. I just care that I can write full time.
• So in 2012 I sold everything, moved to Ukraine, and I split my time between writing and product development. And that combination I find fulfilling. Writing is too solitary for me, and business is too enjoyable.
LIFESTYLE
• I work with much younger people, and I live like them, and mostly I think like them. Age is a choice. I live and work like I am 25 and I hope that never changes again.
WORK STYLE
• I started keeping a blog in the early 00s when I decided that I had to improve my writing skills. In 2009 or so I started using FB as a sketchpad as an experiment. Partly to ensure that I didn’t write in my inner voice. It worked.• I do my work in public like a medieval street vendor. It turns out that people like watching the progress. I find their encouragement, objections and criticisms helpful. And it makes the work less isolating.
• I wake up and write immediately without thinking of anything else. Some days are fluid and some are less so. When I am done writing (usually around noon) I go to the office and work until 7 or 8pm. Come home, eat, and then work a little – reading economics blogs and papers. I don’t really watch media any longer. But I really like crash and fail videos before bed. 🙂
Q&A: “Curt, Aren’t You Worried About Your Public Presence?”
TRANSPARENCY AND MOTIVES
I am an American citizen. I live in Ukraine. I have been writing patriotic advocacy since the early 1980s. I have an employee record as a member of the justice department, a long tax history, a long business entrepreneurship history, and a contract with ‘the state department’ for certain unspecified services for which I would not have been permitted if I was other than a patriot.
I use my real name. I say everything in the open. My objective is patriotic and in defense of the constitution. My purpose is to restore that constitution to its original intent by providing the means of strictly constructing natural law. I do not participate in or encourage direct action only counsel on what I understand is a deterministic future conflict due to deterministic, uncontrollable, conflicts of interest.
I don’t ‘hate’ on anyone – I criticize all peoples equally. And I have done all this intentionally. When dam is going to break of its own natural accord, some of us plan for it, some of us scribe it so it breaks where its optimum, and some of us figure out what to do with the pressure released, so that it produces some form of good.
I am absolutely certain that a very large percentage of the population will at least appreciate, if not advocate, the legal, political, and economic solutions I recommend -and that any who don’t, will self-select as identifiable criminals engaged in conspiracy and fraud – even if only conspiracy and fraud of ignorance and convenience.
Q&A: “Curt, Are you sick?“ (Because of how your voice sounds?)
[I] have allergy induced asthma – mostly to pollens, preservatives, and things that are fermented. So I use an inhaler. The inhaled particles that carry the steroids that reduce the inflammation in your lungs, also land on your vocal cords on the way in, and affect them.
So when I‘m tired, dehydrated, and my asthma is bothering me, you can really hear it in my voice. And that‘s what you sometimes hear on the interviews. I‘m actually fine. (If you get me really going though, I have all the passion and fury of my Puritan ancestors thumping the bible of righteousness just before they go to war. 🙂 )

[W]e make the mistake that norms are in fact moral when they may in fact not be. We call norms moral just like we call legislation law. But norms may or may not be decidably moral and legislation and regulation may or may not be decidably law.
So positive normative moral pretenses, and negative objective moral prohibitions are very different things. We may not be able to say what is best but we can say what is worst. This is the purpose of all natural law: prohibition.
We spend most of our energies trying to rally numbers to different causes, so that we obtain the discounts of may hands making light work for large numbers. But we may rally to any cause one or another. At every given time there is a market for causes to rally in favor of.
However, when we say something is moral or immoral, it is not because of the positive ends it achieves, but because it is not a violation of moral limitations.
When you say “my portfolio of reproductive interests consists of set X, and your productive portfolio consists of set Y”, that means only that we cannot impose a POSITIVE demand on either person. We can only impose a NEGATIVE limit on both, so that they must trade to obtain what it is that they wish.
Evolutionary strategies are not equal but that does not mean that they are not compatible. They are compatible through compromise, not perfection. We seem to evolve toward nash equilibrium in everything we do. This serves evolution as well, since it shuts out the bottom.
So it’s true that morality is objective and universal. the problem is that objective and universal morality simply LIMITS what we can demand from each other while preserving cooperation.
It does not tell us what is good and we should do, only what is bad and we should not do.
That leaves exchange open to choose what is good for all as long as it is bad for none.

[Y]es, one can attempt to order the human world by constructing power to suit one’s imagination.
Or you can deny the ordering of the world by power, so that only nature limits our construction of the world, not we.
In my opinion, from the simple proposition that faster calculation will defeat slower calculation, and certainly defeat stagnation or regression, to deny power solves the problem of power.
The rule of natural, common, judge discovered law of non-imposition of costs, denies that power.
I don’t know what should be I only know what should not be. The market then can use the ‘can’ to calculate the ‘should’ that we cannot know.
