Oct 11, 2019, 4:20 PM by Luke Weinhagen “Every man a Sheriff” In a high trust group this is not a request, nor a demand, it is a description. That is the nuance I’d like to add – that it is our individual willingness to apply the law, and to self-enforce, that is the difference not just the idea (other groups see those very same laws, interpret the same ideas, as weak points to exploit). The idea of law, and its individual observance and practice, allows trust to be the prime mover. (shifting from passive to active)

You Must Begin with A High Trust Polity
Oct 12, 2019, 7:48 PM by Bill Joslin I would take the discussion of Trust a step further. Law and contract eliminate the NEED for trust. However, law and contract that results in this, can only emerge out of a polity that has established high trust in their informal institutions. (which is why, if you introduce a low trust population into the mix, law shifts from rule of law (system which constrains arbitrary discretion) to rule by law (arbitrary discretion hidden behind a mask of calculation). The low trust population erodes the informal institutions which results in a demand for formal institutions to fill the gap.

Loans Against Trust
Oct 15, 2019, 6:05 PM by Luke Weinhagen Law and contract can be used to subsidize for the absence of specific trust, such as between strangers or untested business partners. Both are “loans” against the stored trust in a polity. Enforced and insured by the commons in the form of “WE as a common polity will impose a cost on any party that breaches law or contract”. Law and contract only provide incentives for adherence where you can expect positive reciprocity (trust producing – rule of law) or where you can rely on the enforcement mechanisms to compel adherence (trust consuming – rule by law). Trust consumption eventually gets us back to “Might makes Right” and brings us back to the question “Why don’t I kill you and take your stuff?” (we descend the foundational rule stack). If trust is not there in some form, no one follow the law or sticks to contracts.

I Don”t Do Hate and Don”t Need To
Oct 19, 2019, 7:12 PM I don’t, we don’t, need to ‘hate’ anyone under rule of law of reciprocity, truthful and reciprocal speech to the public in matters public, and voluntary association and disassociation by any means at all. The left can’t succeed without lying for ir-reciprocity, and sowing discord between genders, classes, and identities, and are left with merely grouping together in localities where they can create local law and norm suited to their wants – they can’t infect the rest of society, polity, nation, and civilization. They’re in both physical, economic, political, and ideological ghettos we call ‘cities’.
