The existing continental law consists of the presumption of a feudal difference between the state and the citizenry, and that the citizens are permitted that which is not prohibited or commanded. The existing and past soviet and islamic law, consists of the presumption of enslavement by the state or the priesthood’s false god, and the the limiting of one’s actions to that which is permitted. “The White Law” consists of that law of cooperation, the abridgement of which demands adjudication, and restitution, for us to refrain from extermination, enslavement, or enserfment. it is a via-negativa law. It is a law of those who are equal in sufficient agency to be granted agency by one another – with the rest of man, beast, plant, and matter to be defended against in the interests of our continued production of agency, and continued transcendence.

When there is no buffer between choice/action and consequence reality/nature is the best teacher, experience the best path to wisdom. Only clinically insane and deeply mentally challenged people wantonly put their hand in the fire a third time… Those are the people you need to remove from the commons for their own safety and ours.”—Anne Summers

    (FB 1547744006 Timestamp) PROPERTY IN TOTO, RECIPROCITY, AND THE NECESSITY OF VIOLENCE by Lucas Cort (via brandon hayes) (curtd: this is flawless) Property in toto (demonstrated property) provides a measurement of what humans value. Demonstration of value occurs in human action, when individuals or groups show a willingness and ability to defend said value. The use of violence ensures retention of property and acts as a deterrent against future violations. People can choose the strategies of cooperation, predation, parasitism, or non cooperation. Cooperation with strict adherence to reciprocity being the optimal strategy for long term productive interactions. Reciprocity entails non imposition of costs against others property in toto, through productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfers. Violations of reciprocity lead to conflict due to asymmetrical imposition of costs. Predation being short term and parasitism being a medium term strategy. Retaliation cycles ensue violations, revealing the need for third party assessment and resolution, including enforcement between parties. This gives rise to the discovery and evolution of Law, an insurer of last resort (polity/government), and the militia. These institutions and discoveries are created and upheld through the use of violence, creating disincentives for violations of reciprocity. Through this incremental domestication of man we maintain group cooperation and reap the surpluses that ensue. Resulting in the rapid evolution and competitive edge of the society at large.

    (FB 1548026676 Timestamp) “WHAT I WANT” by Bill Joslin I don’t want a prophet or an equivalent. I don’t even want a leader. I want to be able to put gas in my truck without having to check if that’s going to cut into our grocery bill. I want my Daughter to have a lifelong home – but at more than $200k a year we can’t afford in Toronto, because it would take 25 years to pay it off – and we only have about 20 left it us. I’d like my daughter to be able to form a family and properly care for it without it demanding 60 hour work weeks from both parents (and to the point above – take an entire lifetime to pay off) I’d like my phone and data bill to not be the second highest investment I make every month (costs as much as a car payment) I’d like to go a day without having to defend my race, ancestors and culture to my daughter due to nonsense thrown at her daily. I’d like a future for my progeny that contains happiness which doesn’t resemble a Pyrrhic victory. I don’t want the future to look back at me, mine and my generation with resentment and regret (like I do to boomer et al) but with respect and inspiration… And I want the path to achieve this to not require me to turn into a monster to change the course of our civilization. I don’t want the genocide which is on our horizon. ( It leads to human extinction.)
