    —There are only two social sciences: the law of tort (property), and its facility and measurement: economics. The problem is macro economics seeks to circumvent the law, and the law is ignorant of macro economics.—

  • Terms(words), Phrases, Sentences, and Narratives

    TERMS: All terms are reducible to some analogy to experience. By analysis of vocabulary we can determine those experiences. Those experiences can be combined into complex geometries (candidate meanings). As such Man is the measure of all things to man, and as such his speech consists of correct, incorrect, or deceptive measurements. PHRASES: All phrases describe state or change in state. SENTENCES: All sentences create transactions of meaning or by inference, imply transactions of meaning. NARRATIVES: All narratives describe state or changes in state by the accumulation of sentences into multiple transactions.

    —“What do you use as a basis for your research?”— A Friend Maybe I don’t understand the question…. I mean. I have a very deliberate methodology. Mostly the history of (a) group competitive strategies, (b) geography (c) economics, (d) political orders, (e) laws, (f) methods of argument (grammars). And I use propertarianism (Vitruvianism, Acquisitionism, Propertarianism, Testimonialism, and Natural Law) to perform the analysis. The difficult part of the work is deflating history into Propertarian terms so that all group actions are commensurable. This often requires attacking a proposition until only the truth (in Testimonial terms) remains. And in particular attacking most sacred presumptions and values. And that takes a great deal of time. I have to work long enough that I’ve defeated my own biases as best I can as well. In other words I look at the actions ( inputs, operations, and outputs) not the excuses (what people say about them), and explain the world as the different tactics we use to acquire. The methodology is something I understand very well. Unfortunately it is rather difficult to possess sufficient knowledge to employ it. As such it’s just as hard as any of the other sciences.
