    —“All money is someone’s debt backed by a promise to redeem the debt. When the money is issued by the state, then you have its vast assets backing its value and so liquidity is increased compared with individuals issuing currency. This is why the sovereign often appears on the currency.”—- Nope. credit money might be. But commodity money is a store of value already produced. That is what separates commodity money (value stored), fiduciary media (value borrowed), and credit money (value promised), and fiat money – meaning shares in the economy (future value speculated upon). You are using the term ‘money’ by cherry picking properties to suit your argument. The diagram above lists the categories of money from commodity through trade credit. Money = commodity money. Everything else is a substitute of decreasing liquidity of temporal value.

  • “Traditionalists make the presumption that Christian ideas had positive effects

    —“Traditionalists make the presumption that Christian ideas had positive effects in Europe. But Ideas do not change behaviour – law does. Christianity put in places LAWS which had a positive effect and those laws were largely Celtic and Roman derivatives. The ideas meant very little, law on the other hand we know has had measurable effects.”— Bill Joslin

    —“Philosophical language then is a dead language, and perhaps an immoral one – and rationalism a dead technology. And they will be incrementally combined institutionally and normatively into theology, with Literary Philosophy(Plato and his heirs), merely representing it’s position on the spectrum of Aristotelian/Stoic/Roman/English Law (science), Confucian Reason, French Literary Idealism, Platonic Rational Idealism, Continental and Augustinian Fictionalism, and Abrahamic and Zoroastrian Fictionalism.”—

    The purvey of the court in the production of its procedures is necessary for the simple reason that courts function via-negativa: as findings of fact in the resolution of disputes, by the single test of reciprocity. The production of commons, by council, thang, senate, or house in the production of its procedures is necessary for the simple reason that the commons is produced via-positiva: as agreements on the seizure of potential opportunities given limited resources to invest. As far as I know the criteria of decidability remains the same no matter the scale and organization of the means of arriving at a decision. We adjudicate certain measures in one court, or a series of courts, depending upon the scale of its affect. We contract for certain commons in one Thang, or many Thangs, depending upon the scale of its affect. Among the classes (martial/masculine, commercial (neutral) and familial(priestly/female), we must often vary the means of decidability in order to preserve reciprocity. In all cases we create procedures to preserve reciprocity while producing the returns of aggressive via negativa, and opportunistic via-positiva. So the constitution (the milita’s self insurance) provides the principle organizing method. ALl else is via negativa and via positiva procedure so that the reciprocity necessary for sovereignty under a universal militia insuring one another’s sovereignty, is preserved through the institutions that allow that militia to scale and thereby create the returns on their singe most important investment: reciprocity of sovereignty. (Note that I never fall into pragmatism throughout…..)
