Yep. Transcendence and Sovereignty were the last pieces. In the end, warriors make rule possible, but Judges rule. In the monopoly of soldiery officers rule, and in the market of cooperation judges rule. Judges and Officers provide the same function under positiva (military) and negativa (market) organizations. The question is only which method judges use to rule. And there is only one scientific, logical, true, and perfectly decidable method by which judges *can* rule, and that is Reciprocity: The Natural Law of Sovereign Men. The west has always been poly-narrative. With each class evolving its own narrative. And with each class narrative justifying its role in the natural law of sovereign men. The cult of sovereignty for the aristocracy, the cult of law for the priesthood of the aristocracy, the cult of philosophy for the middle aspirational classes, and the cult of religion for the laboring classes, and the cult of rejection, rebellion, and escape by the undesirable classes. And in turn, there is only one method of producing Sovereignty, liberty, freedom, and sufficient surplus for subsidy, and this is via the incremental suppression of parasitisms in all its forms, producing sovereign men, and eliminating parasitic men – leaving only means of survival in markets for association, cooperation, reproduction, production, production of commons, and production of polities. The monarchy provides the judge of last resort in war, the judiciary the judge of markets, and the officer corps the commander of the monopoly that is war. And so, as long as the men willing and able to fight for sovereignty are trained in, and participate in, a local militia, a regional regimental system, and are trained by a national army, in exchange for rights of public speech, access to territorial and capital ownership, and participation in the choice of commons, then because of their arms and their numbers, no usurper can deprive them of sovereignty; and because of their investment and advantage from it, they will preserve their sovereignty, and because of their universal standing in courts of natural law, they will have incentive and peaceful and productive means of preserving their sovereignty, through the incremental suppression of all parasitism of which they are aware. Men must create a market for the suppression of parasitism, by in turn creating a market for cooperation, because of the market for violence that is the result of a large militia of diverse personal but homogenous collective, interests. There is but one method of obtaining and preserving the sovereignty, necessary for the production of agency, necessary for the transcendence of man, and that is the organization of a franchise (corporation) of warriors of sufficient number, with sufficient incentives, and sufficient institutional means, that the only conditions that prevent conflict and preserve cooperation. The advantage of this order is that we preserve our original innovation: maneuver (what we call today ooda-loops) because of the distribution of decision making to the lowest possible level of the organization: a market for heroism in battle. We developed markets in everything, because markets adapt faster and innovate faster than all alternatives. And for a small population of people, the use of excellence(professionals) and technology (excellence), and markets (maneuver) is simply *faster* in all dimensions than all larger and slower alternatives. He who adapts fastest and best has the advantage. Because the first and last enemy of all is TIME.

America. The land of… Government is Killing Us.
America: children, totally absent a mother’s attention, housed in and driven to boredom and immobility in schools, causing them extensive developmental brain damage, who then are so desperate for stimulation they cling to consumer goods, only to find later in life that they are alone, unwanted, unuseful, and easily buried and forgotten. America, the land where ‘decent’ and disciplined (moral) people work their assess off to pay absurd mortgage rates by borrowing from themselves (omfg), so that they can afford to move away from ‘indecent’ undisciplined (immoral) people, rather than paying trivial costs for trivial homes, where indecent people are prohibited from living. Make industrialization of home production unprofitable. And watch what happens….. America, the land of lonely people surrounded by consumer goods, taking opiates for physical pain and anti-depressants for mental pain. People who work long hours, without walking or running, under information saturation, and in artificial light saturation, in seasonally dark climates, will develop majority depressive symptoms in the population. Let me put it another way: the government is killing us.

The End of the Era of Strategic Patience
“THE END OF THE ERA OF STRATEGIC PATIENCE” Pence said that yesterday, and it sums up our era: conservatives have ended the era of paternal patience. At some point the father decides the child is a net loss if left to his own devices, while the mother preserves motherly blindness, empathy, and hope. I called the previous generations of conservatives and libertarians the ‘hopeful’ era, and that our era is defined by our loss of hope. Our loss of hope can be seen in our initial optimism, increasing frustration, last ditch efforts, and finally, our loss of hope, and our development of conviction.

A Militia is the Answer
A MILITIA IS THE ANSWER. THE MILITIA IS THE SOURCE OF SOVEREIGNTY —“But how is sovereignty produced? What are the necessary substrates (material) and predicaments (relations and incentives) for the emergence and sustainable continuation of sovereignty?”—Simon Ström A condition of sovereignty, is produced by the *incentives* to produce sovereignty, which consist of a large number of men, in a militia, none of which produce or possess sufficient wealth to coerce others into the coercion of others; living in an environment where there are no capital assets of sufficient value with which to make possible sufficient wealth to coerce others into coercing others. Sovereignty is produced by a significant percentage of men, who deny power to any man or men, for any reason.

Rule of Law = Non-Discretion
Apr 24, 2017 9:50am Rule of Law = Non-Discretion. Discretion != Rule of Law. One cannot have rule of law, and at the same time, command, legislation, regulation, and judicial interpretation, because command, legislation, regulation, and judicial interpretation are discretionary. Nomocracy: Government by Rule of Law. How is a nomocracy possible without command, legislation, regulation and judicial interpretation? Markets in everything: Markets for participation, association, cooperation, reproduction, production, commons, polities, and dispute resolution. But how do we provide decidability in all those markets? Reciprocity. Why? Because reciprocity always provides decidability.
