    —“The adaptation – excessive resistance to killing other humans – is that humans are dangerous predators that retaliate at high cost to themselves, whereas other creatures do not retaliate at high cost to themselves, they simply avoid taking the risk again. So we evolved for rational reasons, to both retaliate and to avoid retaliation. So it is retaliation humans fear regarding each other, and not regarding beasts. Most creatures flee losses, but humans and chimps reinforce losses purely for defensive reasons.”— Curt Doolittle

    MORAL POWER VS IMMORAL POWER

    Power: the ability to coerce others in order to alter the probability of outcomes.

    There are three forms of coercion available to man:

    1 – advocacy-information / shaming-deception

    2 – payment for productivity / payment for corruption/parasitism

    3 – violence for property rights / violence for parasitism

    And two directions:

    1 – privatization of commons

    — vs —

    2 – contribution to commons(socialization)

    All three forms of coercion can be put to constructive or destructive ends. And one can target privatization or socialization.

    I prefer operational names. not quite sure how to square this with De Jouvenel, but I assume one can use the ability to coerce (power) to contribute to commons (‘power’) or to siphon (parasitism) from them.

    I’ll also stay on message, and repeat that Aristocracy = Sovereignty. And that Sovereignty is only possible under rule of law, under natural law, with universal standing and application. And so we can say that Rule of Law will naturally produce a natural aristocracy just as natural aristocracy must naturally produce rule of law. Two sides of the same coin.

    IN SUMMARY

    1) Sovereignty (property)

    …. –(Requires)–

    2) Rule of Law under Natural Law

    …. –(that results in)–

    3) Natural Aristocracy (production of commons by the most able)

    Power, in the forms of Gossip, Remuneration, and Violence is in and of itself neutral. We can put power to moral or immoral ends.

    RORTY is just a skeptic. He has no philosophy. He gives us none. His work is simply excuse making (not even justification) of power seeking of the left.

    Rothbardian Libertinism is an attempt to circumvent the high cost of the violence necessary to domesticate the government, by means of gossip, rallying, and shaming. nothing more. The philosophy of free ridership: a fraud.

    INTRINSIC NEED, NOT INTRINSIC RIGHT.

    —“liberty is not an intrinsic right but a responsibility for defending property through violence?”—

    The idea of an ‘intrinsic right’ is a logical impossibility. A right must be created through either (a) command if a third party has the power, or (b) contract enforced by third-party, or (c) through an insurer that imposes power-of-contract. We can only create rights through the necessity (obligation) to use violence to suppress parasitism in all forms. We can only create that right through agreement under norms, contract and judiciary, or insurer, contract and judiciary. And What does a right mean? It means you may appeal for retaliation against an imposition of costs, without yourself fearing retaliation in return.

    We can need a natural right – a law of cooperation. We can request or demand that natural right in exchange for cooperation. In this sense we did evolve an intrinsic need for natural rights. But to possess them we must use violence to construct them.

    There is no point in conversing. Less point in persuading. But there some value in threatening. And much more in acting.

    We are going to kill enough of you that we return at least to peerage if not to dominance.

    Violence alone (command) is an expensive method of rule.

    Religion is a cheap method of rule.

    Credit is a very profitable method of rule.

    Rule by Religion can degrade rule of law.

    Rule by philosophy can ease rule of law.

    Credit requires Rule of law.

    Rule of law requires only Violence.

    Rule of law

    Educated by Philosophy.

    Incentivised by credit.

    Enforced by violence.

    THE VIKING’S, SPARTANS, and ATHENIANS: THE ARYAN’S APPLICATION OF THE DEFAULT AGGRESSION PRINCIPLE

    (interesting)(important)

    VIKING

    Viking (raiding) Policy: “You can trade with us over the long term, or we can conquer and kill you and take your things and your women in the short term. You have no choice to exit. Having discovered you, we will ‘homestead’ you.”

    SPARTAN

    The Spartan (enslaving) Policy: “We can finance your conquest by taking your land, things, and women, and enslaving you, and then domesticate you for profit.”

    ATHENIAN

    The Athenian (ruling) Policy: “Having conquered, domesticated, enslaved, and domesticated you, we can slowly grant you access to the franchise because it is cheaper and more profitable to rule and regulate citizen-customers, than to rule and manage owned-slaves.”

    ROMAN

    The Roman (Commercial) Policy: “You can do as you wish, as long as you do not interfere with rule of law, production, commerce, and trade. If you do then we will punish you until you learn to.”

    ANGLO

    The Anglo-Christian (transcendent) Policy: “We can profit from industrializing rule and in doing so raise mankind out of ignorance, mysticism, poverty, and disease.”

    AMERICAN

    The American (bourgeoise) Policy: “Man is oppressed by the rulers. We can enfranchise all, and profit from enfranchising all.”

    (ROOT) ARYAN

    The Aryan Rule Policy: It is more profitable to rule you, and force you into productivity and trade, than it is to kill you and take your things. We can finance the startup cost of ruling you by taking your territory, your things, and your women, and then enslaving you, until you are sufficiently domesticated that we can profit from your productivity. Citizen customers are cheaper to rule and more productive than slaves.

    This is the group evolutionary strategy of the Aryans removed of Aryan-Christian deceits.

    THE *DEFAULT AGGRESSION PRINCIPLE*

    —“Propertarian Ethics operate by the Default Aggression Principle. We need an excuse not to aggress against you. The only excuse is if we engage in productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfer, limited to externalities of the same criteria. Otherwise aggression against you is preferable to parasitism by you.”—Clay Caldwell
