    DOES IT ALL COME DOWN TO TRUTH TELLING?

    Empirical Science (aristotelianism) has evolved into a universal language.

    The voluntary organization of production under property and rule of law have evolved into a universal language.

    Scientific research and production take place within a society.

    The society vastly impacts the quality of that research and production.

    The people conducting research carry with them the assumptions of their societies.

    Some societies excel at conducting scientific research.

    Some societies are all but incapable of conducting scientific research.

    Some societies excel at instituting property rights and rule of law.

    Some societies are all but incapable of instituting property rights and rule of law.

    Some societies excel at constructing trust

    Some societies are all but incapable of constructing trust.

    Some societies excel at institutionalizing telling the truth.

    Some societies are all but incapable of institutionalizing telling the truth.

    What makes a society tell the truth, construct trust, institute property rights, and conduct scientific research?

    Telling the truth. Why tell the truth? For voluntary warriors it’s a matter of life and death. If nearly every man is a warrior, and only warriors possess wealth, and for warriors truth is a matter of life and death. From that position came the west’s rise.

    UNDER PROPERTARIANISM, OPERATIONALISM PREVENTS *HARM*

    —“All arguments put into the marketplace of ideas function as conceptual goods – products for our use. Now since we are producing goods we do have the ability if not the necessity to provide consumer protection. This is all that operationalism does for us. It doesnt say you’re doing good (telling the truth) it tests whether or not you are doing HARM. It makes sure that you’re not using verbalisms. Under Propertarianism we require you warranty your goods and services. And those warranties are subject to legal enforcement by universal standing where the loser pays.”—-

    Speak the truth, even if it leads to your death.

    Take not that wasn’t justly paid for.

    TRUTH TELLING

    American culture, like english culture, was organized to enforce truth telling, truth telling alone will enforce private property rights. The goal of the Progressive (socialist) Intellectuals (new yorkers) was to assault the culture of truth telling, as provincial, since it imposed a threat to their evolutionary strategy.

    We focus on property rights encoded in law, such that we defend ourselves from the state. But Truth Telling if it is the law that prevents violence, alone prevents involuntary transfer, by outlawing the means of involuntary transfer – whereas Intersubjectively verifiable property rights and relativism allow for the perpetuation of multiculturalism (lying and stealing).

    In other words, it is not property rights but truth telling that forms the basis of moral society that depends upon property rights.

    Enforcement of IVP property rights is insufficient for the formation of a polity that respects property rights. Instead, such a polity must enforce truth telling, expressed as property rights.

    (Damn. I didn’t expect to come to that conclusion.)

    http://coinvox.org/the-future-of-governance/BTC DOEDNT MATTER AS MUCH AS THE BLOCKCHAIN.

    Artificial intelligence, like human intelligence, requires the world divided into property such that actions are possible.

    Words are not sufficient for man to think and plan or computer without property.

    BTC may not revolutionize money. But it will revolutionize artificial intelligence.

  • Property rights defined by aggression are necessary and sufficient for limiting

    Property rights defined by aggression are necessary and sufficient for limiting the state, sure. But they aren’t necessary and sufficient for limiting each other in a voluntary polity.

    If you want a voluntary polity in the absence of a state then you must provide a means of resolving all conflicts with each other.

    We don’t have the privilege of determining what causes conflict – evolution mandated it: we can cooperate if and only if we cannot parasite or prey on each other by doing so. Otherwise evolution will punish us for it.

    **WHAT** PROPERTY RIGHTS ARE SUFFICIENT FOR A PEACEFUL CIVILIZATION?

    —The foundation of a peaceful and prosperous civilization is “property rights are human rights and human rights are property rights.”— Bruce Koerber, Auburn University

    Bruce,

    While TRUE, in the sense that our laws and courts must resolve differences by property rights for us to live in a state of LEGAL LIBERTY, it is not true that property rights are the foundation of a peaceful and prosperous civilization, by any means, unless one enumerates all categories and cases of property, and provides for a means of their evolutionary expansion.

    Property defined as that which is Intersubjectively Verifiable (as I have written about profusely) is absolutely, positively, insufficient for the formation of a peaceful polity, and even less so for a civilization, because it offers an insufficient suppression of unethical and immoral actions to prevent conflict, and therefore for demand for an authoritarian state.

    Property must extended to the ethical and moral, which rothbardian ethics of the ghetto’s low trust society do not.

    Primitive societies did not lack internal property rights any more than today’s primitive families lack internal property rights. The problem is extending the treatment we grant to others within the family across family, tribal, cultural, and racial bounds.

    The libertarian fallacy is the presumption of the benevolence of human nature across familial, tribal, cultural, commercial bounds, which is contrary to all evidence from all civilizations, and all cultures at all points in time.

    No people, lacking an authoritarian martial government can defend itself from parasitic conquest without

    Rothbard took his ethics from the Medieval ghetto and like a good Cosmopolitan tried to justify the ethics of the ghetto just as germans the ethics of the land, and the english the ethics of the island. But while german ethics of the land, require nothing external to the polity but neighbors with different norms, the english ethics of the island require a sea to protect them, and the jewish ethic of the ghetto requires an authoritarian overlord to create a fictitious environment in which violence is not permitted but unethical and immoral behavior is tolerated as long as it does not lead to violence.

    Humans require manners, ethics, morals, AND property rights to cooperate. Otherwise conflict or authoritarianism is preferable to the high transaction costs of trying to cooperate.

    The germans were right albeit in the pseudoscientific authoritarian and rational language of Kant, and the anglos were right in their empirical and psychological language, yes, but wrong in that they assumed all men wished to, or were capable of, joining the aristocracy and incurring its responsibility.

    But rothbard was the most wrong of all – in not only his language, but in his methods, logic and assumptions of man. Meaning that rothbard joins Spinoza, Marx, Freud, Cantor and even to some degree Popper, as manufacturer of elaborate verbal pseudosciences – the thinkers that doomed the 20th century to an age of pseudosciences, and destroyed the aristocratic libertarian ethos of western civilization.

  • Aristocracy : A Kinship of Property Rights

    ARISTOCRATIC EGALITARIAN LIBERTARIANISM A kinship of property rights. The initiatic brotherhood of warriors. The cult of egalitarian sovereignty The origins of western exceptionalism. The only possible means of possessing liberty. The solution to the problem of creating extra-familial trust, is achieved by the extension of property rights, in exchange for the reciprocal guarantee of defending each other’s property. I didn’t invent it. I just wrote it down. For the first time in 4000 years. (And it wasn’t easy either.)
