    THERE IS ONLY ONE LAW AND COMPETITION IS WAR BY FRAUD RATHER THAN VIOLENCE.

    Religion, when stated as positive law, consists of via-positiva commands and demands, and provides a means of subjugation, or division prior to conquest.

    Religion, when stated as Wisdom Literature, seeks only to provide advice you may or may not choose to take, solace you may choose to take when in need, and reason for celebration with your kin, tribe, and nation.

    Reason, when stated as a negative law, consists of via-negativa limits, provides a means of creating markets.

    Science, as measurement, provides a test of the truth of statements of reason, wisdom literature, and religion.

    1) There is only one natural law: reciprocity.

    2) Any religion that claims any other law is both a violation of natural law, and therefore a deception, fraud, theft, and harm to mankind.

    3) No religion that relies on any law other than natural law is not then a religion but a political system seeking to displace the current system by fraud, indifferent from seeking to displace the system of natural law by violence.

    4) Any attempt to advocate, apply, or institutionalize any law other than Natural Law is an act of war.

    Natural Law tells us that since people will, always and everywhere, retaliate in a manner exceeding the original harm against the imposition of costs upon that which they have borne costs to obtain an expected interest.

    It tells us that all sorts of retaliation cycles start, and circulate endlessly from physical feuds to minor emotional conflicts.

    It tells us that all conflicts are perfectly decidable – resolvable – by the test of reciprocity, and demand for restitution.

    It tells us that by adjudication and restitution by reciprocity we prevent not only the original imposition of harm but the consequent retaliation cycles.

    It tells that if we suppress innovations in the means of imposition of costs upon others fast enough, that people will increase trust, and therefore risk, and therefore increase economic complexity producing decreases in prices and increases in choice.

    Natural law is DESCRIPTIVE. It says what does happen, and explains why it happens, so that we can evolve the law quickly everywhere and at all times, and eliminate as much as possible retaliation that destroys the norms, economies, and polities.

  • Natural law says “people retaliate everywhere and always even at high personal c

    Natural law says “people retaliate everywhere and always even at high personal cost, against imposition of costs against that which they have invested in. The record of torts in all cultures, and all civilization, across all time, regardless of legal systems, consists of tests of reciprocity given the portfolio of interests in the current division of labor and norms. The existential record international law, like international law throughout history is always and everywhere reducible to tests of reciprocity. Logically, no organism can both cooperate and survive competition, without developing reciprocity. Moreover, all organisms capable of cooperation demonstrate preservation of ‘cheating’ as a means of preserving the test of reciprocity such that the test of reciprocity is not lost through genetic or habitual optimism. In fact, we can find no evidence of altruism anywhere within the species that is not either kin selection, or altruistic PUNISHMENT. Furthermore, researchers cannot find a better game theory strategy than tit for tat, and increasing tolerance for cheating given the noise (error) possible in the exchanges.’

    I don’t make ‘should’ or ‘good’ arguments. I search for decidability in matters of dispute. I argue against bads and leave goods up to market choice.

    Reciprocity cannot rationally or logically be defeated that I know of, nor can it be empirically defeated that I know of. As far as I know all conflcits are decidable by tests of reciprocity against imposition of costs aginst property in toto, that has been gained by discovery and conversino (homesteading), conversion from prior states of one’s inventory, or obtained in productive, fully informed, voluntary exchange, free of imposition of costs by externality.

    cheers

    EUROPEAN (GERMAN/FRENCH/ITALIAN) MILITARY COSTS WILL BE, LIKE THE USA’S, THE PREVENTION OF CARTELS AND INVASION

    European social goods are possible because of a lack of european defense spending, and while it may be true that europe lacks territorial enemies other than perhaps russia militarily and islam via immigration and conversion, the vast costs of policing the world that are borne by the USA have been Jewish/Communist expansion via russia. THe adoption of jewish/commuist expasion by china. The adoption of jewish communist expansion by the arabs. And the simple fact that while Russia and China conducted that war militariliy and politically, the muslim nations do so economically by oil. So america pays for maintaining the market price of oil and preventing cartels from forming. This is the reason for the great western military expenditure over the past century: the expansion of the market and the prevention of cartels. THis is extremely expensive, and no, europe does not pay its part.

    EVOLUTION’S TEST OF RECIPROCITY

    1) Dominance hierarchy: Fitness giving access to opportunities, allies, and mates.

    2) Possible Means of Coercion: Force (threat, punishment, murder), Remuneration (Trade, deprivation from trade), Gossip (rallying, shaming, lionizing)

    3) Demonstrated Merit using possible Means of Coercion: Violence, Productivity, Bribery, Voluntary Exchange, Fraud, Theft, Free-Riding.

    4) Only Coercive means not in violation of Reciprocity: Productive, Fully informed, voluntary Exchange, free of imposition of costs upon that which has previously been obtained by exchange.

    5) Single empirical cause of moral reactions: violations of or advancement of, reciprocity.

    6) Single evolutionary instinct necessary for the persistence of cooperation reciprocity.

    7) Only possible test of Morality: Reciprocity.

    8) Function of evolution: suppress the reproduction of those that cannot meet the tests of reciprocity.

    OF COURSE WE CAN PUNISH ILES

    When did we STOP punishing lies in public? (libel, slander, duel, fights between men?)

    How much debate was there over the freedom of speech and press? A great deal. Because the lies of the church did good in the eyes of the founders. Because the press allowed the propagation of the lies upon which the american revolution was founded as well as the rational and moral arguments. But mostly because they couldn’t figure out how to manage it in court. And they felt it less necessary to manage in court because of the physical punishments men laid out upon each other such that it was not NECESSARY to lay out in court.

    Now lets look at recent evolutions in knowledge: like empiricism (measurement), and darwinianism (evolution) despite the fact that we had been domesticating animals over 12000 years ago? I mean, its not a very complicated idea. Why did it take so long?

    (a) when did we begin to understand the scientific method, and how long did it take us?

    (b) when did we solve the major problems of the foundations of mathematics and logic?

    (c) when did we discover both econometrics (economics) and statistics?

    (d) when and why did we switch from justifiation to criticism in order to advance science?

    (e) when and why did the operational revolutoin fail in the early 20th century, despite being ‘discovered’ in every major theoretical discipline? I mean, the entirety of the philosophy of language could have been settled, and a century of nonsense saved, and god knows what else?

    I mean, the history of mankind consists of the gradual domestication of the beast man.

    ANd while in history education was the primary objective…. ONCE EDUCATION HAS BEEN ACHIEVED, THEN THE PRIMARY IMPROVEMENT IS TO ELIMINATE ERROR BIAS, AND DECEIT.

    We live in an era where nearly all information is free for the simple cost of investing the time to learn it. The only thing we can do to improve the lot of man, and to prevent regression tot he mean, is to eliminate error, bias, wishful thinking and deceit.

    We live in an era where we have suppressed parasitism (violence, theft, commercial fraud) such that financialization and politics are the two primary means of improving our lot, and preventing regression toward the mean.

    If we have the methods of testing truthful speech (we do), then there is no reason we cannot do as every generation in history has done: outlaw through law, new methods of crime, that man has discovered.

    And what was discovered in the late 1700’s was to advance scripturalism to pseudorationalsim (Rousseau/Kant), and then in the later 1800’s how to advance pseudorationalism to pseudoscience (Marx, boaz, freud), and then in the early 1900’s to distribute the task to many disinformation specialists (the frankfurt school), and then to use mass media to distribute it (socialists), and then to use it to take over the academy, and from there indoctrinate the political system, and the buy offf the polity with debt, producing the upcoming crash to end all crashes.

    We have, for most of human history regulated lying and insult (non-truthful criticism) by interpersonal violence and duel. The press was regulated to prevent its abuse. But then the press was ‘de-regulated’ by the american revolution, and the ending of libel, slander, duel, and ‘fighting’. The cheap printing, newspapers, pamphlets, paperback books, movies, telephone, radio, television, and mass media, and now the internet have put distance between liar and victim and allowed the industralization of deception that we call ‘propaganda’ to bathe our people in information which they lack the means of rationally testing if able, and which seduce those whose wants it satisfies.

    It is as evil as the invention of abrahamism and ‘the book’ – the similarity of ‘the book’/’the pulpit’, and ‘pseudoscience’ /’the media’ should not be lost on the most dim of us. Where the ancient world involved the saturation of the schools with liars, the present involves the saturation of schools, academy, and the informational environment with liars. Our people are saturated with lies they cannot defend themselves from, and saturated witha liens that they cannot defend themselves from. Meanwhile their families shrink, their civilization dies – and a few simpletons criticize me for putting for a rational means of rather simply making use of our existing legal system to apply the same standards to political speech that we do to commercial: reciprocity.

    What the hell makes you think that (a) people won’t cooperate for both good and bad at massive scale, and that people won’t conduct war by disinformation and the suppression of disinformation?

    I mean. You can spout an OPINION but what examples in history can you give, of any scale, that have any substance, that mirror even this one sketch that I’ve just written?

    I mean, it’s one thing to remain skeptical, and it’s another to hold an opinion that is contrary to all accumulated evidence in all of history for all of mankind…. Jeez….

    Color me frustrated with simpletons.

    THE PROBLEM IS NOT COMPLICATED. PEOPLE ARE JUST IGNORANT AND STUPID

    IS HOUSE ‘SLAVERY’ BETTER THAN STATE INCARCERATION? (YES)

    James makes an less obvious argument, that there is little difference between slavery under the romans and incarceration in the modern world – and in fact, the modern world is worse. The difference being someone had to take responsibility for you in the ancient world, and the corporeal state takes no responsibility for you in the present, just locks you away where you learn nothing except how to be a better, more fit, criminal, since you have no viable means of survival afterward.
