    [W]e talk about rule of law, but that’s our defense against the dysgenic, parasitic, envious, leftist evil. We mention sovereignty, which is the objective. We rarely mention reciprocal insurance of that sovereignty of all men by all other men. And we never mention that reciprocal insurance creates a brotherhood of men – which is the civil society we all desire.

    @clairlemon What institutions did the middle east foster instead? Cunning, Cheating, Lying, Rent seeking, taxing trade routes rather than producing. They lauded inbreeding, familiasm, tribalism, and not trust and productivity – and they rewarded dogmatists not talent.

    EXCHANGE OF KIN AS SECURITY

    —“Uncle Curt, what was it called when Kings would exchange Princes for a required amount of time, and keep as their ward the exchanged Prince? As this was keep the Peace.”—

    Meaning changes over time. So that’s why it doesn’t immediately come to you.

    Hostage: “a lodger held by a landlord as security”.

    It’s hostage, although it means something more like ‘guest held as security’. The modern meaning has been twisted – and fairly recently.

    COMPARISONS

    A hostage held as security under guarantee of safety vs a hostage hold for ransom under threat of harm. So it’s held as hostage (safe), vs held for ransom (harm).

    ETYMOLOGY

    hostage (n.)

    late 13c., from Old French ostage, hostage “kindness, hospitality; residence, dwelling; rent, tribute; compensation; guarantee, pledge, bail; person given as security or hostage” (11c., Modern French ôtage), which is of uncertain origin. Either from hoste “guest” (see host (n.1)) via notion of “a lodger held by a landlord as security” [Watkins, Barnhart]; or else from Late Latin obsidanus “condition of being held as security,” from obses “hostage,” from ob- “before” + base of sedere “to sit,” with spelling influenced by Latin hostis. [OED, Century Dictionary]

    EVERY MAN A COMMON MAN

    By: Bill Joslin, via Brandon Hayes (CD: core)

    A model for this could be described as concentric rings of influence, centering on the individual and radiating out into the commons based on which domain one acts as judge-of-last-resort.

    Am I judge-of-last-resort for my mind (clarity of intention)

    Am I judge-of-last-resort for my body (voluntary intentional action)

    Am I judge-of-last-resort for my household (do I direct my domestic life)

    Am I judge-of-last-resort for my livelihood (do I direct my means of survival)

    Am I judge-of-last-resort which secures (ensures) my property-en-toto

    Am I judge-of-last-resort in the intergenerational shared commons (do I direct my place in history)

    For each of those questions, if there is another person to which you are beholden then the answer is no.

    Everyman a king of his household

    Everyman a rifleman

    Everyman a sheriff

    Everyman a judge

    ….in opportunity only, secured by demonstrations of ability.

    THE GOLDEN RULE EXPLAINED

    by Luke Weinhagen

    Those of us living in high trust societies recognize the importance of The Golden Rule. We understand its value and the benefits we derive from it. It is one of the first formal lessons in social interaction we teach our children.

    But when you stop there at the Golden Rule alone, we too easily take it for granted. What we seem to miss is that rather than the Golden Rule being the First Rule of a high trust society – it is the last.

    THE FOUNDATIONS

    And so we often take for granted the other foundational rules:

    1. Via Positiva: ……. The Golden Rule.

    2. Via Negativa: ….. The Silver Rule.

    3. Via Logica: ……….The Natural Law of Reciprocity.

    4. Via Existentia: …. Rule of Law,

    ………………………….. … The Jury, and

    ………………………….. … Markets in everything.

    5. The Iron Rule: …. Might Makes Right.

    These are Foundational rules – rules that form the foundations of interaction upon which we build the functions of our society – the closer you get to the Golden Rule the more trust you can support.

    But High Trust, absent vigilance, allows one to make the mistake of standing on that foundation seeing nothing but the immaculate Gold and stop looking – ignoring the layers below that must be there to support each ascending layer.

    But these other rules can not be ignored. They are active. Starting from the Iron Rule each rule supports the next, making each possible in turn.

    The next rule in sequence can not exist without the previous rule being applied and maintained.

    Today someone is out there applying the fifth rule so that you have access to the fourth.

    Today someone is out there applying the fourth rule so that you have access to the third.

    Today someone is out there applying the third rule so that you have access to the second.

    Today someone is out there applying the second rule so that you have access to the first.

    “BE THAT SOMEONE”

    Be willing and able to be that someone. All they way down. If you can not be that someone, be grateful that someone is there. If you can not be grateful, at least do not try to knock that someone down – Trust is valuable and we really want to keep the Golden Rule.

    These are the rules. They are not complicated, but they are demanding. They are not hard to understand, but they so often seem easy to forget.
