    UNDERSTANDING OF USE VS CONSTRUCTION

    The general public need only understand policy and benefits.

    —“That attitude tells me all I need know about your organization.”—Mark Wright

    What??? The general public needs to understand How to write strictly constructed law? And deflation, disambiguation and serialization, operational semantics and grammar, transactionally expanded sentences, dimensions of testing available to the human mind, the means of warrantying due diligence in both in and across those dimensions? falsificationism vs justificationism? The difference between ontological, axiomatic, and theoretic systems? Why does the public need to understand that? They can’t.

    The general public doesn’t study formal logic, advanced mathematics, political, institutional, financial or micro economics, the law, engineering, physics, or cognitive science. they use the products of those who do.

    “For sovereignty, liberty and freedom to exist, the Law must consist of very simple rules.” And there is only one sentence the public needs to understand: *”Natural Law, the rights of anglo saxons, the Adams-Jefferson constitution, and western civilization’s success in the ancient, modern, and future worlds, depended and depends upon the continuous production of velocity by the continuous production of agency by the continuous use of sovereignty and reciprocity, truth and duty, law and jury, and markets in association, cooperation, production, reproduction, commons, polities, and group strategy, at the cost of minimizing the rates of reproduction of those unable to contribute to those demands.”*

    They need to understand we can de financialize, de politicize, restore truthful speech in commerce, finance, economics, law, politics, and group evolutionary strategy; restore the civic society and . They need to understand the rights and obligations in the policies that produce those ends. To follow a simple law does not require that men understand its underlying science. If so it would be useless. We must not understand how to build any given set of tools, only once built, how to use them within our sphere of agency.

    Do not assume I am a fool.

    This is false Nathan. GOvernments exist to prevent the imposition of alternative governments even LESS desirable to the people. States exist to produce commons, and the commons required is defense. Bad governance exists because CITIZENS tolerate it. Govts are a necessary defense.

    Thank you for the compliment. Not that it affects the argument. Evidence of all language is that it competes in markets and as such was only slightly weakened by (a)the standardization of spelling during printing, and (b)the development of science as universal language of truth.

    –“WHAT ABOUT NEPOTISM IN THE MONARCHY?”–

    The evidence is that families guard their status jealously and that fratricide and patricide are the most common origins of regicide.

    Secondly, a monarchy has only to defend the very longest term interest and its income from the overall performance of the polity.

    Monarchies have exceptional records for almost all of human history with the fragility not one of nepotism (since a monarchy has management teams selected from across the realm, many of whom are the best shareholders), but monarchies fail because agrarian production was the only means of competition and therefore territorial expansion the only means of competition. And territorial expansion only achievable by the high risk and high cost of european warfare and consequent ransom.

    The monarchies simply DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO when the landed and military aristocracy was replaced by the commercial aristocracy, and after the french revolution, the church aristocracy replaced by the state bureaucracy.

    We know what to do: Increase participation to shift, then decrease participation once shifted. Increase participation by expanding the franchise for each additional class, or decrease the franchise for each additional class once the change has been implemented. During that era guns were far more effective at forcing political change than archers. So the state could no longer use professional warriors to deny the franchise.

    The only solution is to retain the franchise for those who have demonstrated interests in the preservation of rule of law and the discretion of the monarchy, the republic, or the democracy in the determination of the production of commons.

    THere no longer a force on earth that can occupy territory against men with small arms (battle rifles) and rpg’s (close proximity man-portable artillery). It cannot be done. Ergo the transition is complete and we have restored the symmetry of power between men.

    WE need only choose to impose our will on those who would deprive us of rule of law, and the reciprocity that rule of law both depends upon and enforces.

    It is very hard to read Hoppe, Michels, and Burnham (or machiavelli for that matter) and not understand this.

    FIXING INSTITUTIONALIZED LONELINESS

    by Michael Churchill

    You can look at loneliness in America and say it was bound to get to this point: Capitalism + mobile workforce + jobs in cities (so smart people all move away from home) + natural resistance to in-grouping by Northwestern Europeans + persecution of the productive minority (Northwestern Europeans) + the four economic changes that sparked feminism (birth control, mobility, ability of women to support themselves, technological change that liberated women from the household drudgery).

    It almost HAD to come to this point in America.

    Now we get to fix it.

    BUT WHAT ABOUT NEPOTISM????

    —“If you have the time can anyone explain to me how you deal/curtail with nepotism in your hierarchy ? A link to read perhaps? Worthy men aren’t always from the same family e.g. the son is not always the father by far. I’m curious.”–David England

    What ended nepotism in european peoples?

    In what industries did nepotism persist until today?

    Why did those instances of nepotism persist and why did the other instances not persist?

    What could be done to end the kind of nepotism that survives?

    What kind of nepotism can (should) continue to survive? (why is nepotism always a bad thing, or why is it indicative of a bad thing since it is hard to make the case that nepotism is a universal bad?)

    The answer will be obvious once you work thru it.

  • When I was a kid I would go to city hall (local government) meetings with my fat

    When I was a kid I would go to city hall (local government) meetings with my father. When I was in high school and college I would randomly sit in the courtroom and listen. As an executive contracts and lawsuits are part and parcel of any business of any scale, particularly in risky businesses like technology.

    IMO it should be required that children are taught the law, the prosecution, defense, the jury, and the judge by observing and then doing it.

    Because it is extremely difficult to overcome the hurdle of moral intuition vs the law.

    I never had the opportunity to embrace romantic falsehoods.
