    Under rule of law people have no choice to obtain status and consumption by any other means that the voluntary service of others in markets for association, production, reproduction, commons production, and polity production. Every alternative is just one excuse or another.

    @willwilkinson @nytopinion @BetoORourke America, the anglo countries, and the germanic countries, are ‘special’ not because of government, but because we have rule of law. The world does not need democracy, and continues to rebel against it. They need rule of law. With rule of law the form of government is irrelevant.

  • Notes for John Mark Interview – Part 9

    One of the first insights that struck me when I came across your work was your insight about the 3 different instinctive group strategies, where individuals tend to fall into one of the 3, what you call the tripartite division of cognitive labor – in other words, there are 3 types of people politically, 3 groups with different political instincts, and each of these 3 groups has a different time horizon that they place priority on. (Female-Left-short time horizon-consume, Young Male – Libertarian – medium time horizon – produce, Mature Male – long time horizon – conserve civilizational assets.) Can you talk to us about that?

    Well there are three means of coercion. (Female-left-Gossip, Young Male – libertarian – Incentives, Mature Male – conservative – Force) We have elites that specialize in one or more of them We have institutions led by elites that specialize in one or more of them We demonstrate by voting that we ourselves favor one of those strategies, means of coercion, and elites over the other – although except for liberals, we tend to be Neapolitan ice cream – meaning a little of all three, just prioritizing them differently. If you look at moral biases you see that we favor pretty much expected clustering in a priority stack of those differences. If you look at personality traits, say using the big five or six or seven model if you include intelligence – then you find that despite having this number of traits, (a) each trait can be subdivided and when we do that we see gender differences in each of those traits. (b) that sets of traits cluster around three personality types, and that those types are the same clustering as moral biases, and three coercive strategies. And it’s quite obvious that those three strategies are the reproductive strategies of females (socialism), ascendent males(libertarianism), and established males(conservatism). And so you have clustering of short term female consumption, medium term ascendant male returns, and long term conservative male preservation, and we literally perceive and value events according to these genetic biases that evolved out of necessity. And so instead of pushing the very false narrative of equality I push compatibilism where we are, just like other species with specialized body types, dividing the time frame of cognition as well as the reproductive and productive labors. And how do you solve differences in perception, value, labor and advocacy? Through trade. In other words, voluntary exchange is the way we calculate just like a computer, just like evolution does, the cumulative knowledge of our people into a set of demands that produce a nash equilibrium under which nothing is optimum for anyone but optimum for everyone. While at the same time we produce a pareto distribution or a power distribution of utility to one another, meaning that people at tthe top are tremendously influential and at the bottom not, but that everyone benefits. So while we all have divergent optimum via-positiva demands, we have the same via-negativa demands: reciprocity within the limits of proportionality – and proportionality is important because it is the limit beyond which reciprocity is still insufficient to reaming cooperating in the same polity. And it is this condition that has put us in our current state: we are sufficiently irreciprocal and disproportional and as such we are no longer suitable for coexistence in the same polity. It is in there interests of the top and the bottom to have their own polity which is the standard of all of history, while it is in the interests of whites, who CAN produce a middle class high trust high commons polity to separate and produce what we desire. Now I want to clarify that I’m not a christian or libertarian pacifist. And neither are my brothers on the right. And that while we offer peaceful coexistence throughs separation, any resistance to that peaceful coexistence through separation means that we have moral license to return to our historical business of domesticating the animal man for fun and profit, and that if we wish to do so nothing can stop us. So I’m offering a solution that is possible, but it doesn’t mean it’s preferable. One to three percent of us will easily drag western civilization into a condition where the unfit cannot survive, our enemies seize world power, and we rebuild as we want from the ashes after the bloodiest civil war in human history. So I’m saying ‘this constitution and this change – or else’ I’m not begging. I’m offering a peaceful settlement of a war that is already in process, a war created on purpose by the left, and one engineered to repeat the jewish christian and muslim destruction of the ancient world.

  • PROPERTARIANISM: COOPERATION The Evolution of Cooperation: 1) Acquisitiveness: T

    PROPERTARIANISM: COOPERATION

    The Evolution of Cooperation:

    1) Acquisitiveness: To survive and reproduce, humans must acquire and inventory many categories of resources, and evolved to demonstrate constant acquisitiveness of those resources.

    2) Property: The scope of those things they act upon, or choose not to act upon, in anticipation of obtaining as inventory (a store of value), constitute their demonstrated definition of property-en-toto.* (See Butler Schaeffer) “That which and organism defends.”

    3) Value: Human emotions evolved to reflect changes in state of property-en-toto.* As such nearly all emotions can be expressed in terms of reactions to property. (imposed costs here, pre-moral, but also pre-cooperation, and only defense and retaliation, not cooperation)

    4) Non-Conflict: That which humans act to obtain without imposition upon in-group members they evolved to intuit as their property, and demonstrate this intuition by defense of their inventory, and by their punishment of transgressors.

    5) Cooperative Production: That which humans act in concert with one another to produce. (Important take-away is that the purpose of cooperation is material and reproductive production.)

    6) Moral (cooperative) Intuitions(instincts): Moral intuitions reflect prohibitions on free riding by members with whom one cooperates in production and reproduction. (This is where free riding enters.)

    7) Distribution of Intuitions by Reproductive Strategy: Moral intuitions vary in intensity to suit one’s reproductive strategy. This intensity and distribution of moral intuition varies between males and females, as well as between classes and between groups.

    8) Variation By Family Structure: Moral rules reflect prohibitions on free riding given the structure of the family in relation to the necessary and available structure of production.

    9) Resolution of Disputes: Property rights were developed in law as the positive enumeration in contractual form, of those moral rules which any polity (corporation) agrees to enforce with the promise of violence for the purpose of restitution or punishment. Conversely, any possible property rights not expressed, the community (corporation) is unwilling to adjudicate, restore or punish, or has not yet discovered the need to construct.

    10) Instrumentation: Property rights are necessary for the instrumental measurement of moral prohibitions because of the unobservability of changes in human emotional states, and our inability to determine truth from falsehood. And as such we require an observable proxy for evidence of changes in state.

    11) Family: As a general rule, as the division of knowledge and labor increases, so must the atomicity of property rights, and as a consequence, the size of the family must decline {Consanguineous, Punaluan, Pairing (Serial Marriage), Hetaeristic, Traditional, Stem, Nuclear, Absolute Nuclear}.

    12) Transaction Costs: As the division of labor increases, relationships increase in distance from kin, increase in anonymity, decrease common interest, and the incentive to seize opportunities rather than adhere to agreements increases. This decrease creates the problem of trust, which increases costs of insuring any agreement is fulfilled, and decreases the overall number of possible agreements and the number of participants in any structure of production.

    13) Trust (ethics in production): As a general rule, for the size of the family to decrease, and division of labor to increase in multi-part *complexity* then trust must increase, and trust can only increase with expansion of property rights to include prohibitions on unethical actions. Mere ostracization, boycotting and reputation are insufficient to preserve agreements (contracts).

    14) Moral Competition (ethics in political production): (morals property rights, cheating) As a general rule, the scope of moral prohibitions expressed as property rights, must increase to limit demand for authority.

    15) Demand for Authority: As a general rule, if a delay in the production of property rights evolves, then demand for authority will fill the vacuum with some form of authority to either suppress retaliation (conflict) or to prevent circumstances leading to conflict, or both.

    THE REASONS FOR THE EVOLUTION OF COOPERATION

    INGROUP COOPERATION

    1) The disproportionately high return on cooperation.

    2) The differences in abilities at different ages.

    3) The difference in reproductive role and strategy between the genders.

    4) The differences in abilities among men.

    5) The local structure of production: the division of knowledge and labor.

    6) The local structure of the reproduction: family and inheritance rights.

    7) The distribution of property rights between the individual, family, group and the commons.

    8) The degree of suppression of, and intolerance for, free riding both in and out of family.

    9) calculative, cooperative technology available for economic signaling and coordination. (objective truth, numbers, money, prices, interest, writing, contract, and accounting).

    10) The use of formal institutions to perpetuate these constraints.

    11) The competition from groups with alternate structures of production, family, inheritance, property rights, free riding, cooperative technologies, and formal institutions.

    OUTGROUP COOPERATION

    12) The geographical distribution of nature-given factors of production. (note that this is last.)

    PROPERTARIANISM: PROPERTY RIGHT

    OBVERSE: A prohibition on the imposition of costs against those categories of property that in-group members are willing to enforce by means of organized violence.

    REVERSE: a warranty by peers (right) that they will either enforce restitution for impositions of costs upon certain categories of your property, and/or that they will not retaliate against you for your acts of retaliation or restitution for such impositions.

    RESULT?

    (i) PROPERTY: that which we demonstrate that we have born costs to acquire without imposing costs upon others with whom we cooperate.

    (ii) COOPERATION: constructing an asymmetry of incentives such that we choose to concentrate efforts by dividing labor in order to obtain the disproportionate rewards of doing so versus the alternatives.

    (iii) MORALITY: that which we require in order to rationally cooperate.

    (iv) RIGHT: Sanction of retaliation in case of abridgment. OBLIGATION: Requirement of performance.

    (v) LAW (PROPERTY RIGHT): that which we promise to one another to insure.
