  • War: The Fragility Spectrum

    When you are small you cannot fight to defend, fight to stop, fight to exit. There are only so many fragile regions on the human body, the human organization, the human polity, the human state, that you can attack with all your might, and end it’s agility(knees), action (jaw), thought (neck-arteries), air(throat), vision(eyes). The body is hard to kill. But a thing that cannot sense or move, can be killed with ease. The head and the knees on man, the money and the leadership of organizations, the information systems and illusion of control by the polity, the need for economic velocity of the state. Order is achieved largely by habit and self interest. Disorder is achieved by the simple fact of creating uncertainty and deprivation of information and energy (electricity).

    Or are you falsely portraying democracy as politics, rather than politics as the range of methods by which we produce commons?

    @curtdoolittle @gmiller @JayMan471 Politics doesn’t lend itself to objective claims. You’re misunderstanding the nature of politics.

    THE MARKET FOR RECIPROCITY?

    Yes we can create a market for truthful (non false, non-parasitic) political speech. In fact, it was the state that ended our market for truthful speech. Why?



    Isn’t science an ongoing discovery process? doesn’t it function as a market for information, with career ending punishments for violators?

    Don’t we protect against fraud and deceit in the market for goods and services – and provide special protections that PROHIBIT us from defending the market for information against fraud and deceit?

    Didn’t we, for millennia, protect against libel(written) and slander(spoken), and don’t we grant special privileges that prevent us from using the course to protect ourselves from libel and slander – especially in large scale media? In other words, doesn’t the state PROHIBIT us from self defense against falsehoods?

    Why is it that we cannot in private advocate for conspiracy (theft), yet in public can advocate for conspiracy (theft) as long as the majority of conspirators approve of the theft?

    Why is it that we used to be able to protect the environment,and the commons via the judiciary, but the state removed our juridical defense?

    Why is it that the state removed our juridical defense against members of the bureaucracy, the government, the academy, and the media?

    Are you going to try to advocate that reciprocity (natural law) is not, in cooperation, the equivalence of truth (decidability)?

    Or are you saying specifically that people should be able to violate reciprocity and violate truth in order to use large numbers to impose thefts using the violence of the government, in order to obtain by non-reciprocity and deceit, that which they might obtain by voluntary exchange, thereby depriving those who have one thing from obtaining another thing in exchange?

    Just because you can’t figure out how to create law of information regarding political speech (forcible coercion) such that it holds to the same standards as market speech (goods, services, and information) doesn’t mean it can’t be done. In fact. it was done for millennia.

    The question is why did the state take it away, and why can we not restore it?

    And we can require truthful speech, just as we do products, services, and claims. There is no reason not to in political speech also.

    How about we worry about TRUE and FALSE speech. Because that’s the problem. Free speech was hotly debated and a mistake. Only truthful.

  • NO, TRUTHFUL SPEECH IS EASY TO IMPLEMENT CURT DOOLITTLE We can require truthful

    NO, TRUTHFUL SPEECH IS EASY TO IMPLEMENT

    CURT DOOLITTLE

    We can require truthful speech, just as we do products, services, and claims. There is no reason not to in political speech also.

    JAYMAN:

    This is impossible to implement.

    CURT DOOLITTLE

    Jayman.

    Lets have a debate on that ’cause i’m positive you’re wrong. 😉

    We can never know truth proper, but falsehood is easy.

    And we can require truthful speech, just as we do products, services, and claims. There is no reason not to in political speech also.

    One need not require truth, only prohibit falsehood, incompleteness, and irreciprocity – something courts do every day.

    So no, it’s not only possible, it’s easy. And we do it in many, many ways already, successfully, every day.

    And it will serve as the completion of the scientific enlightenment that we have struggled and failed to perform for centuries.

    And it will provide as great a set of returns as has empiricism. If not more.

    Curious Question: Would you use violence against others to prevent the advancement of policies? Would you threaten violence, harm, or at least loss, against your own family to prevent them from voting against your civilization’s interests?
