    —I’m sure there is a solution that can “protect the commons” and provide an efficient and cost-effective solution. 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.

    So, the issue now is just actuarial – what are the chances you expose others to harm.

    End result is that we are talking about externalizing probabilities of negatives. As such, within a short time (generation) it will be an actuarial problem (one of insuring others against harm) rather than a question of rights.

  • The difference is, that because I look for negative externalities, frauds, theft

    The difference is, that because I look for negative externalities, frauds, thefts, exchanges, positive transfers, and positive externalities I CALCULATE that an action is immoral, amoral, or moral, and you INTUIT it.

    I have the AGENCY to consider all possibilities and choose the moral, amoral, or the immoral as required.

    This is the lesson of sun tzu, machiavelli, and aristotle – as well as every other general: morals are not truths but utilities, not knowledge but habits. The great books of wisdom and strategy are written so that we do not make the mistakes of christians and allow ourselves to be conquered, for having forgotten how to fight.

    They are written to ensure that we are civilized by reason not by habit..

    I have agency. I am not an animal. My intuitions provide information only. My reason rules my decisions. Moral, amoral, immoral, as needed.

    The problem with efficient supply chains is that they lack a supply sufficient for shocks.
