    (FB 1550448812 Timestamp) CLARITY (a) only individuals act (b) only groups conspire (c) whether individuals or groups act against the interests of the commons, it is still a collection of individuals, since even groups consist of individuals. (d) organizations demonstrate preference not stated belief or thought. (e) if some organization or affiliation or identity can be identified as problematic it is certainly possible to exit the organization and all people within it as conspirators regardless of stated opinion or belief. CONVERSELY (f) it is very difficult to imagine extracting someone by genome. HOWEVER (g) war is war, so if it escalates from tort (court) to combat (war) then the law no longer applies. THEREFORE I have said repeatedly, fix the law the good will stay the bad will leave, and organizations that are hostile will be shuttered.

    (FB 1550928169 Timestamp) RULE(LAW) VS GOVERNMENT (COMMONS) —“Is it ancap? I searched it it looked like some minarchy stuff.”–Mick Seppala It’s strictly constructed rule of law by test of reciprocity – major difference is you can’t ‘lie’ in political speech – which is the hard problem of converting from free speech to free truthful speech. And … You ‘roll your own’ government with it. I recommend various forms of government for various people. but only one rule of law. P is not ideology, philosophy, or religion. It is LAW.

If it’s involuntary because of traffickers, the that’s f-king evil and has to be dealt with ‘harshly’. if it’s involving those lacking maturity, then it has to be dealt with ‘brutally’. The ‘punish the Kraft’s of the world for paying hookers is just nonsensical. )

    (FB 1553033983 Timestamp) by Alain Dwight We desire the safety and productivity of high trust commons, so nearly everyone shares our instincts to some degree. There is a significant subset of people within that also share our instincts regarding much of the “how,” but they were left moralizing and justifying because no one had yet codified the science of reciprocity, co-operation, and deconflation. Those opposed to the “how” might be more numerous, but in the end, they want the same sort of commons that anyone else would desire. They just don’t want to pay the price, and unfortunately for many of them they might not survive paying the price (those who expanded their underclasses beyond the capacity of their middle and upper to provide for will incur large losses when their free ride is revoked). In that sense, they are damned if they do and damned if they don’t, the free riding isn’t viable long term. This is the price for the productive to have a fighting chance.
