    THE EXPERIMENT IS OVER AND THE JURY IS IN

    The jury is in.

    Monarchs produce better commons. the fewer the people in politics the better. The more powerful the law in resisting the king, a government, or each other, and the more powerful the militia in resisting all above, the better.

    Liberalism in the sense of rule of law won.

    Monarchy in the sense of production of commons won.

    Fascism in the sense of state nationalism, ethnocentrism, state capitalism, and intolerance for competition on other than economic means, won.

    Why? it’s the optimum decision making structure because it is the optimum means of accommodating differences in knowledge and incentives.

    Studying legal papers and theory you quickly learn that law is ignorant of economics and scale. You learn that the problems lawyers and the courts face are problems of economics and scale. You learn that they are trying to solve a social science problem with a crude instrument that changes slowly. Jurist and Lawyers have seen the atomic but not the aggregate. and so it creates a kind of disciplinary blindness. The problem with the profession is that while we have common and continental law, we have lost or only just discovered natural tort law, which solves problems of juridical decision making, where conflating the law with legislation and regulation and to some degree command, create all those problems of interpretation.

  • WESTERN MAN, AND THE LAW. by Michael Churchill (Paraphrasing Curt): The myth of

    WESTERN MAN, AND THE LAW.

    by Michael Churchill

    (Paraphrasing Curt): The myth of western man IS the law. The law is our mythology. We are creatures of the law. The law allowed us to rise out of the slime. To civilize ourselves and everybody else.

    (Paraphrasing Bil): Hippie healing experience is a not-very-useful diversion from law. Every hippie healing modality can be better handled with better application of natural law. It was some failure to apply the law (in past or present) that created the disorder and suffering in the first place. So one can go straight to the breakdown in the natural law and thereby get to the root of the problem. Identify the misunderstanding of natural law, and the root of the problem is revealed.

    To the extent one resists full accounting under natural law, one is fleeing from one’s problems, and the suffering continues. A week of hippie healing gives temporary respite from symptoms, but without full accounting and truth-telling, the core of the disorder remains.

    Half our suffering today results from suppression of natural law by those who benefit from its non-application (which leads to societal breakdown, which is always good for somebody).

    Anyway, this is the core of the Proprietarian analysis and I find it very persuasive. (But I am still not convinced Freud was completely wrong either.)

    The lower your demographic distribution the higher demand for authority to substitute for trust and rule of law. The higher your trust the lower the demand for authority as a substitute for trust and rule of law. The only means of producing trust and rule of law is sufficiently large middle class that generates demand for rule of law in order to construct the voluntary organization of production, distribution, and trade, we call capitalism – or what the ordinary person calls ‘an economy’.

    So the dispute between capitalism and socialism was always a (((Lie))), it has always been between consistent rule of law independent of man, and arbitrary rule by man.

    DECIDABILITY, MYTHOS, AND THE LAW

    (the demand for national mythos)

    Um. when the atheists attack mythology – abrahamic or otherwise – they do not specify the means of graceful failure of decidability that mythos provide. That’s why one needs a founding mythos. Because there must exists some means of decision making in the absence of knowledge.

    Hence why I argue for Self Authoring in the Virtues, and for the western historical ‘mythology’ of transcendence (progress into godhood). But what do we teach as decidability?

    One needs an aspiration or it is impossible to construct a complete set of decidability. (really. It is. Sorry).

    However, with that aspiration, the law is enough. The law brings us transcendence into gods, and into mystery of the universe.

    The law is enough because it will produce transcendence. transcendence likewise will produce the law. So whether bottom up or top down we produce the combination of the law, ascendence, transcendence.

    The Natural Law. The White Law. Reciprocity, and a canon of precompiled arguments for nearly every category of human decision making.

    As if you didn’t assume there were competing sides of constitutionalists versus arbitrary law on the court. Virtue signal in the mirror. Like all forms of self pleasure, It’s revolting in public.

    .@realDonaldTrump, when asked about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, he wished her well even though she’s “not on my side.” Didn’t realize #SupremeCourt justices were supposed to be on a president’s “side”… #Trump #RBG
