  • Support for Natural Law

    by Daniel Roland Anderson And we have a mechanism for correcting non-correspondence of the constitution with natural law: the Amendment process—which won’t work in our current demographic situation. Do you know many judges you’d trust to implement Natural Law over the plain text of the document? I don’t. When I hear a “constitutionalist” go on about Natural Law, it’s 99.9% ignorant blather. Curt is the first guy in years to use the term Natural Law in a way that doesn’t make me want to punch someone. I suspect Curt provides for decidability whereas others use Natural Law to stand in for “whatever I think is good right now.” Curt has done great things for the Common Law that many constitutionalists would throw out with the bathwater if judicial abuse of discretion.

  • There is only one natural law, and that is reciprocity. That law is empirically

    There is only one natural law, and that is reciprocity. That law is empirically evolving at all times in that branch of law we call tort. That tort law evolves by incremental suppression of parasitism by new discoveries of irreciprocity that violate the one law of reciprocity. The principle problem in tort history is the failure to define property as property-in-toto, and this problem has been caused by the Ruler’s interest in preventing defectors as well as defeaters, while at the same time collecting fees for doing so. Like regulating an economy via money supply, we have a very hard time finding a measurement that provides us with decidabilty that produces no even worse externalities. The answer in both cases is markets, rule of law, and universal standing in matters of the commons, such that the governor is not necessary as other than a judge of last resort. The west invented rule without government for the same reason we invented law without discretion: the consequence of a voluntary militia of equal sovereigns is the only decidability that is possible is tort (reciprocity).

    —“Natural law, where it conflicts, must supersede the plain text of the constitution.”— Zachary Miller

    Yep.

    The constitution either reflects natural law or it is an irreciprocal contract and therefore CANNOT BE A CONSTITUTION of natural law. Ergo, no constitutional construction may violate the natural law of reciprocity.

As far as I know the basis of common law is optimum (natural law of tort) and the level of detail in continental law is less open to circumvention.

    Our political system is outright bad, with parties, prime ministers and a monarch empirically superior by all the evidence.

    While conceived as a loose collection of states like europe, we have failed to preserve the independence of the states, and the presidency, and the majority election of the president, has only reinforce that problem.

    As such we have a continent-wide empire where everyone is always angry because each state or region has a different culture with different social, economic, political, and strategic demands.

  • This Whole Democracy Nonsense Has Been a Catastrophe.

    Yes its good if your people obtained english administration, law, accounting, and language during colonialism. Just don’t buy this democracy stuff (sh-t). No matter what it takes, train a militia (army) by breaking men down and building them up as a team, so that they have as much allegiance to the militia (each other) as they do the family and clan. Then work on building ordinary common property rights and law (with severity), and pushing that up into the government by means of courts and militia. Create markets, and a government that builds markets and markets alone.
