My understanding is that passenger flights are required to carry USPS, where the private companies must own their own planes. Curt Doolittle maybe you can chime in a propertarian solution to this problem?”—@[572309326:2048:Bryan Nova Brey] The problem is the cost of government employees. The service is also supported by spam mail none of us want (or need, in the age of the internet). All political services can be provided by libraries (forms etc). All shipping better provided by private agencies. Selling it whole yet requiring all domestic postcards, and ‘letters’ at a subsidized price would solve the problem. Insuring the private postal service and ups and anyone else for that matter, the way we insure banks (insurer of last resort) in the case of national emergency is adequate.

(FB 1542651949 Timestamp) INHERENT RIGHTS (IDEALS) VS INHERENT DEMAND AND ASSOCIATED COSTS (REALS) by Luke Weinhagen (important concept) —“Commons: Every single thing you pay for by either action, inaction,or forgone opportunity for discount or gain”— This is another area where much of the west is operating with a categorization error in place. We have been categorizing the concept “natural rights” as an INHERENT quality of each individual, not something that has a COST. We should be categorizing it as an available property, with a cost to gain interest in. A commons. Because of its relationship to reciprocity. natural rights is the root commons. All other commons extend from the foundation that natural rights creates and are limited by the breadth of those rights. One must, and can only, purchase interest in that commons through the demonstration of reciprocity and sovereignty. Failure to police this root commons, and extending it to everyone (categorization error – natural/available to all, not inherent/granted to all), creates a vulnerability (extends agency status to parasites) and exposes every derivative commons to parasitism. No correction downstream can remove this vulnerability, they are become attempts at compensation for that original flaw, just more imposed costs. (if I am understanding [Curt] correctly, this one is going to make heads explode when the correction is put in place – though the only other outcome is system collapse)

(FB 1550083548 Timestamp) by Luke Weinhagen TOLERANCE – (via negativa) the capacity to endure continued subjection to something (my adds: externalizes costs, ignores limits, passive state, imposed externally, waives agency) FORBEARANCE – (via-positiva) patient self-control; restraint; the action of refraining from exercising a legal right, a response or enforcing the payment of a debt/cost. (my adds: carries costs, imposes limits, active state, self imposed, applies agency) Above – “tolerance of the current condition” is a great example of the ambiguity tolerance allows. Who is responsible for the current condition? Who imposed a cost and who is carrying that cost? Alternative – “In absolutes you are governed by men who fight and their forbearance of your shortcomings.” Explicit in who is costing and who is covering costs. The alternative also reminds the men who fight of their responsibility for what is and to reiterate their responsibility in asserting limits upon that forbearance.

(FB 1551278999 Timestamp) LIBERTARIAN FREE TRADE VS PROPERTARIAN FREE TRADE —“Are you for a free market or against it? I’m curious. I can never really tell with you.”— Matthew What is the limit of a free market? In other words, a ‘free market’ like ‘NAP’ is a half truth in order to propagate a lie. At what point are you stealing from the shareholders of the polity? —“The libertarian concept of property is lacking, I agree.”— So we fix libertarianism’s half-truth half-lie: Rule of law with warranty of due diligence of a full accounting of externalities means free trade by reciprocity to the limits of proportionality. So I teach full accounting not ‘limitless free trade’.

(FB 1551279344 Timestamp) ANARCHISM VS PROPERTARIANISM “Anarchism” means POLYLOGICAL polycentric law, of voluntary exchange independent of warranty and externality. “Propertarianism” ‘s Rule of Law means MONOLOGICAL polycentric (market) law of productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange, limited to positive externalities. Libertarianism = jewish (semitic) Ghetto Ethics, and; Propertarianism = Anglo Saxon (germanic) Aristocratic ethics.

(FB 1551383619 Timestamp) THE FOUNDATIONS OF ECONOMICS (COOPERATION) = TIME The opportunities in a market are limited by the requirement that we not impose costs by externality upon the investments of others causing the loss of capital in territorial, physical, institutional, cultural, normative, informational, familial, and genetic assets. Markets allow us to create opportunity through proximity – decreasing opportunity costs of time, and thru informational, informal, and formal institutions, and physical infrastructure as a common good – each decreasing opportunity costs of time.These market opportunities are produced as a common good. We can then serve the common good by converting opportunity into exchanges, each of which creates more than it consumes by the service of the coincidence of wants. (time savings). We create opportunities for temporal compression through the division of perception, cognition, knowledge, labor, and advocacy, and seize them through the identification of a coincidence of wants, thereby converting the potential for temporal compression into the existential compression of time. And it is through this temporal compression that we, collectively, in increasing scales, constantly reduce the cost of existence, and defeat the dark forces of time, ignorance, and scarcity. If you understand this you will understand all of human civilization, consists of time saving – and the reason we have achieved what no other creatures have achieved. We must defeat the dark forces of time, ignorance, distance, and scarcity, and we do so through cooperation, and we cooperate through the incremental suppression of the imposition of costs on one another upon life, body, kin, possessions, and interests, in the form of violence, theft, fraud, falsehood, conspiracy, rents and free-riding. We accomplish this incremental suppression by the demand for a warranty of due diligence for our products(materials), services(actions), and information(speech) and the prosecution, restitution, punishment, ostracization, or execution, of those who circumvent that Warranty of Reciprocity by production, action, or speech. This leaves us with no option but to participate in voluntary markets under which we limit our productions, actions, and speech to that which consists of productive, fully informed (truthful), warrantied, voluntary transfer, free of imposition of cost upon the life, kin, possessions, and interests of others by externality. This explains why time is the principle asset from which all of human existence emerges through the continuous discounting of time costs through an ever expanding division of labor, with ever expanding suppressions of parasitism.
