    Each academic discipline has it’s own language and terminology. Part of becoming a professional in a discipline requires a basic mastery of the language used in describing the principles of operation.

    I have no academic background in law. However, with a Black’s Law Dictionary one can research what particular words mean in the practice of law. Reasonable suspicion, probable cause, jury nullification, etc can be understood by layman; otherwise a policeman could not arrest someone for a crime and write the changing documents with the elements to reach probable cause for indictment.

    I was taught in grad school, the difference between average people and bright people was not whether average people could learn something. But bright people just learn faster, which would be an advantage in multi discipline learning.

    John Mark is very important because he is explaining the concepts of propertarianism in the language of the everyday person and they get it. When we want to impress each other with how smart we are we use words (big) which are not normally in the other guy’s lexicon. Want reach the masses, you have use words out of their dictionary. They will get it, tit for tat.

    MASTERING P-LAW

    by James Krieger

    It is a Masters level investment, & most of those who struggle do not even have an undergraduate comprehension of math, liberal arts & the sciences. Most of us who show promise have spent years studying political science & economics beforehand, or are accomplished in industry (Bill).

    P is an interdisciplinary subject matter that requires extensive background knowledge in the history of thought, law, economics, game theory, neuroscience, sociobiology, anthropology, computational science & so on.

    If you are struggling with basic concepts, I can tell you that you do not have what it takes to be a producer/contributor. The core of propertarianism is not difficult to grasp; we’d be able to teach it as third year course at top 20 undergraduate schools & most students would ‘get it.’ That most struggle speaks to the poor quality of education in America.

    —“School… What a waste of life. If I could go back in time I would make my own curriculum. 3 hours a day reading the best of European literature, 1 hour a day writing an analysis of what I had just read, half hour on developing sharp arithmetic skills, 1 hour playing an instrument, 1 hour a day learning a trade or craft, and the rest of the day exercising ,learning survival, self-defense, and military skills.”—Erik Leaf

    I’d argue that you’d learn that trade or craft best by doing menial labor helping the skilled in whatever trade or craft.

    LEARNING P BY FOLLOWING POSTS

    —“I’m a good example of someone who didn’t learn P, just kept following posts and after around 6 months I can follow posts pretty easily. A lot of the operational terms come up consistently and once you’ve looked up ‘demarcation’ a few times, and seen how it’s used you know what it means. Still haven’t won a King of the Hill yet though, I figure I’ll have to actually learn P to be able to do that.”— Grant Cameron McPhee

    yeah, well, you just illustrated that you learned by playing king of the hill: observing the game until you’re ready to try to make the climb.

    THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO TEACH HUMANS THAN KING OF THE HILL GAMES – IT IS HOW WE EVOLVED TO LEARN.

    “LEARNING P-LAW”… YOUR SPOUSE WILL NOTICE FIRST. 😉

    —“Just keep reading the posts. Slowly bits and pieces will start soaking-in and your vocabulary will grow. The first thing you’ll notice is your wife asking you where you come up with these words. LOL”— Phil Burkhart

    ADViCE FOR NEWBS?

    —“Hello Curt, I have been trying to follow your work but the vocab is above my level, I was wondering if you could recommend me anything similar to your work but a bit easier to read for the less seasoned reader so I can work up to your stuff?”—

    Personally I think everything I recommend will take you years of work to read through. Check out our reading list.

    I would say that when you don’t understand terms, simply ask, and we’ll provide links, and share those links too. So that means when you don’t understand something, and ask, we teach everyone who doesn’t understand.

    We are very patient in teaching the vocabulary because we know that like *any system of measurement* it’s the primary hurdle to learning Natural Law (P-Law).

    My experience is that John Mark and InTruthVictorious videos are the best explanation.

    But everyone here will help if you ask, and we prefer this ‘hands on’ teaching of others rather than sending you off to read because it builds skill in both you and the teacher, and develops relationships.

    It TAKES TIME. There are only a few basic concepts really, and not that many terms that explain them. But learning to (a) use them rather than appeal to your intuition, and (b) use equilibrial thinking, and (c) use full accounting takes some time. Its a lot like learning programming.

    Others please comment with advice.
