Theme: Causality

It’s meaningless.
All life must acquire.
Life can acquire without movement, or with movement.
Movement increases probability though at the cost of movement.
Memory allows for prediction, though at the cost of memory and movement.
Involuntary cooperation allows for multipliers not possible by individual organisms at the cost of selecting predictions for the outcome of cooperation.
Voluntary cooperation allows for multiples not possible by individual organisms and involuntary organisms, but allows for the costs of defection, cheating, harming.
The division of temporal labor between the sexes: female short term hyperconsumption and risk evasion causing evasion of responsibility for commons, vs male long term hyper capitalization at the cost of risk mitigation, causing status by competition for responsibility for commons.
The amount of memory (neural volume) increases the number of parallel predictions (the field of predictions) an individual human can choose from, over longer periods of time, over greater populations, and over greater complexity.
The variation in neural volume, neural fitness (adaptation in time) determines the division of labor between individuals in addition to the division of labor between sexes creating the division of labor between classes.
The variation in systemic knowledge, general knowledge and experience, and specific skills further determines the division of labor between individuals, classes, and sexes.
The organization of metaphysical presumptions, group strategy, sex strategy, class strategy, individual strategy combines with the organization of individuals into families, clans, tribes, nations, civilizations, and races.
The organization of knowledge production, invention, prediction, production distribution, trade and consumption by the markets for association, cooperation, reproduction, production, commons, polities, institutions and war, organizes people with and a cross clans tribes and sometimes nations.
This organization is habituated by metaphysical presumptions, group strategy, mythology, institutions, traditions, norms, habits, and fashions- and humans are highly resistant to modification of the accumulation of above networks of understanding and relationships – in no small part because only about ten percent of humans do and can think – the rest merely react and then way-find a justification to their reaction given the above stack of indoctrination, habits, knowledge and incentives.

THEREFORE
Acquisition is meaningful
Cooperation is meaningful
Reciprocity of cooperation is meaningful.
Division of labor by many dimensions is meaningful
Cooperation in overlapping networks at increasing scales is meaningful.
Because we are all more affected by the behavior of those we share a polity with than we are our own words and deeds (actions).
As such it is the production of commons that is more meaningful than the production of individuals.
As such the purpose of law is to prohibit interference in the potential of cooperation in divisions of labor at increasing scales.
And the purpose of policy is the production of commons that remove frictions to cooperation, including the reduction of free riding, irreciprocity, privatization of commons, socialization of losses, rent seeking, corruption, lawfare, and authoritarianism – granting priority to the capital produced by the inter generational family before that of the individual, who, until producing offspring is a dead weight on accumulated spectrum of physical, behavioral, and genetic capital.

Now if you’re competent to make a judgement sufficient to hold an opinion, just in that sequence what did mises get wrong before we even begin to attack his epistemology – which upon his later years, he quietly recognized was false.
