  • Rule of The Sovereign

    If the Truth is not enough, and therefore law is not enough, then you are weak, and lack the agency necessary for demands of reciprocity between sovereigns. As such you may not rule, or govern, and may have only liberty(capital), freedom(property), and subsidy(insurance), by permission, as the sovereign see fit. And you may purchase liberty, freedom, subsidy, and defense under the natural law of sovereigns, by acts of and military and civic defense of the commons, civil contribution by payment of fees, and the reciprocal defense of the subsidy, property, and liberty of peers.

  • Frames….

    by Bill Joslin So to distill this down a bit more. As far as I can tell, cognition has three broad frames, experiential (perceptual), imperative (action-reaction), and consequential (perceptual feedback of action-reaction). The progress of disambiguation of grammars has been the incremental movement toward accounting for all three frames. The ambiguous grammars have been a reduction in accounting to all three frames (ussually preferences one frame over others). The accounting and interplay between each frame (a market) decontextualizes the information to the consequential frame (the only frame which encompasses the other two). What we are doing with testimonialism is translating experiential and imperative data into a consequential frame where it can be tested (falsified)

    —“We depend upon Morality in the negotiation between oursleves and others for front row seats (or even seats half way) in the present theater of life. The strong have less of a need to negotiate than the weak. The weak are more fanatic about morality precisely because they lack the (inner) strength to manifest themselves in life. They need the approval of others. And the weaker you are, the more nonsense you drag into the moral negotiation.”—Roger Dols

    Good articulation – yes. Also. If you are very wealthy (which i have been), with any degree of influence (power), then you come to understand that nothing changes whatsoever, other than the wealth and influence of those who you compete with, and their decreasing compatibility of interests with you. and you can trust no one. It is nearly as difficult to defend wealth as it is to make it.

    JOSLIN HITS IT OUT OF THE PARK.
    by Bill Joslin
    (Just want to say that no one else has made it this far, and bill is rocking it.)

    1 ———-

    PSYCHOLOGY
    Psychology – ostensive (experiential) argumentation to account for behavior.

    Incentive: seek a monopoly on perception via ostensive grammars

    Alternative: Aquisitionism where by human behaviour can be fully accounted via incentives.

    Outcome: a market for coherence via descriptive explanations of behaviour which can be tested with low or no context (declarative).

    2 ————

    POLITICAL *-OCRACY
    Any *-ocracy (democracy, oligarchy, Plutarchy, monarchy etc) are systemic moral justifications for control of nomocracy argued through imperatives.

    Incentive: to obtain a monopoly on the creation and execution of law – power over others argued via preferences for one “the good”.

    Alternative: propertarianism whereby all transactions must meet the criteria of perfect reciprocity.

    Outcome: disambiguous execution of law. A market for the creation of many “goods”.

    3 ———-

    RELIGIOUS THEOLOGY
    Religio-philosophical are sets of arguments for prefered criteria of measuring truth.

    Incentive: obtain a monopoly on truth (justify god like proclamations about reality). Unwarranted declaration.

    Alternative: Testimonialism which uses all available criteria to demonstrate due diligence in eliminating error, bias, and deception

    Outcome: a market for coherence.

    4 ———

    MONOPOLY(DECEPTION) VS MARKET(TRUTH)
    In all cases above, the former uses ostensive or imperative grammars to obtain a monopoly.

    Each alternative “deframes” arguments, converting ostensive and imperative grammars into declarative statements.

    Why? Because only the declarative has the quality of being testable.

    This results in the destruction of monopolies over perception, law (violence) and truth allowing reality to dictate decisions and actions.

    RULE OF THE SOVEREIGN

    If the Truth is not enough, and therefore law is not enough, then you are weak, and lack the agency necessary for demands of reciprocity between sovereigns. As such you may not rule, or govern, and may have only liberty(capital), freedom(property), and subsidy(insurance), by permission, as the sovereign see fit. And you may purchase liberty, freedom, subsidy, and defense under the natural law of sovereigns, by acts of and military and civic defense of the commons, civil contribution by payment of fees, and the reciprocal defense of the subsidy, property, and liberty of peers.
