    TEARING UP THE SPEECH – VS THE WESTERN TRADITION

    “She tore up his speech means she challenged him to a duel because she broke the rule of truthful reciprocal trade between sovereigns, limiting us to testimony (facts).”

    Testimony: Jury > Thang > Senate > Multiple Houses > Public Speech.

    The western tradition’s first premise is Sovereignty. Every man is his own country, king, legislature, army. We form alliances that insure one another’s sovereignty. In this way we are all equal at the top, and seek material achievement – where religions (slaves) are equal at the bottom and seek to minimize material responsibilities. As sovereigns we appeal to our allies (court) for enforcement of our sovereignty (violations of our interests).

    This premise does not take cooperation for granted, it takes sovereignty for granted. It requires only that we do not offend (impose costs upon) one another’s demonstrated interests. But that as sovereigns we are free to war whenever we want. And we need submit to no one.

    In the Western Tradition of Sovereignty, the only reason to tolerate free speech is if it is Testimony (Realism, Naturalism, Operationalism, Reciprocity) – else violence licensed.

    Truth is a Commons in the West. Limiting public speech to the Testimonial and Reciprocal licenses VOLUNTARY TRADE (argument) but prohibits INVOLUNTARY HARMS. The duel between sovereign men b/c insult prohibited untruths. We failed to clarify that free speech meant Free Testimony.

    Westerners intuit these customary laws, but because they are customs are thousands of years old, and we lacked (until now) an operational(scientific) explanation of the western tradition and its reason for our disproportionate success: P(Natural)-law articulates these intuitions.

    P-Law explains the West, and lets us defend it from competing traditions that don’t practice truth telling, and some of which (Semitic) consist entirely of lying. It may take a few decades for P-Law to take root as the logic of social science, but it will, b/c: Explanatory Power.

    Yes, only reciprocal and truthful speech is free under natural law. And since truthfulness is merely a property of reciprocity, it’s only included for clarity. P makes it possible to tell if someone is speaking truthfully (testifiably). So if it’s not irreciprocal it’s open.

    DO LAWS EXPIRE UNDER P?

    QUICK DEFINITIONS:

    LAW – rules in a given political order

    NATURAL LAW – Reciprocity

    COMMAND – Rule by Degree

    LEGISLATION – A rule by decree of a legislative body

    REGULATION – Rule for enforcing legislation

    CONTRACT OF THE COMMONS – A contract between representatives on behalf of the people having force of law.

    FINDING OF LAW – record of decision made by a court for future reference.

    BODY OF LAW – the sum of all of the above.

    CONTRACT – an agreement under law insured by a court.

    A constitution describes process and procedure for the production of commons.

    All contracts must state dependencies, fulfillment criteria, an expiration date, termination clauses, means of restitution, and responsible parties.

    Under P-Law we may only make contracts of the commons, and findings of law.

    Regulations are processed as changes to the terms of the contract of the commons.

    As such all contracts of the commons expire.

    As such we should expect regular renewal of those contracts whose value remains in place – and regular termination of contracts of the commons and regulations that no longer apply – and a chain of terminated contracts of the commons and regulations that are dependent upon those terminated contracts of the commons.

    The science says Physical law, Natural law, and Christian extension of kinship love, constitute the laws of the Universe. These Laws are the only evidence of god’s word, written in god’s hand. If any faith is incompatible with those laws, then it’s not god’s word but man’s lie.

    THE NATURAL LAW DOES NOT CHANGE HUMAN BEHAVIOR, IT ACCOUNTS FOR IT, AND LIMITS ONLY IRRECIPROCITY

    by Scott Strong

    The Natural Law doesn’t change human nature…it accounts for it.

    As for the diversity issue, that’s easy – less diversity, more homogeneity. We stop attempting to go against what humans do naturally…sort into groups with those who share our values and either trade if possible or war if threatened.

    Also, there may be many religions but we only know of one that is compatible with the law. The rest will be expunged and can continue lying themselves into an inbred hole elsewhere.

    THE SOVEREIGN IS ABOVE EARTHLY POWERS UNDER LAW, NOT ABOVE NATURAL LAW

    by Scott De Warren

    A sovereign is above the law in the sense that there is no earthly legal power above him in his kingdom.

    He is not above natural law, however, in the sense that his sovereignty is not inalienable. For example if he seeks to destroy his kingdom and people or other crimes similar in kind to high treason (selling his sovereignty to a hostile foreign sovereign and thus stripping his people of their liberties) he can lose his sovereign rights in a just revolution (but not his legal heirs already born).

    THE ORIGIN OF MORAL FOUNDATIONS

    by Bill Joslin

    The first question of ethics and politics is: “Why shouldn’t I kill you and take your stuff?” The answer to which gives birth to moral foundations.

    Of course, “Because I’m too costly to kill when weighed against the benefit of my stuff” represents one of the answers.

    The other answer being this: “Because, if we cooperate, I’m worth way more alive than the limited benefits of the stuff I have now.”

    To wit – any and all qualities that we consider “virtuous” can be measured. Virtue exists as the signaling and behaviour that demonstrates your ability to be trusted when one is vulnerable to you (i.e. answers the question of “why would I drop my defenses against you in order to cooperate).

    …now here the rub.

    Our current culture hasn’t solved for this contingent question:

    “Why shouldn’t I just lie to you and take your stuff, only the amount of stuff you don’t notice I took?”

    Me’thinks this question will be answered soon.

    Q: “HOW IS P-LAW DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER?”

    (important) (core)

    —“How is P law different than any other law? We have laws now that some people follow and some don’t Any and every law creates division because once laws are made someone has to enforce them. And as long as there are humans involved there will be corruption you cant stop that. There is no perfect system . The best we could hope for is a simple 2 law system, 1) mind your own business and 2) leave everyone else alone. Do whatever you wish as long as you don’t harm anyone else.”— John Lafferty

    GREAT QUESTION

    Aside from the absolute lack of evidence that the left wants to eave you (your property) alone, and that they instead demand rights to consume your property, and the commons, let’s look at the question of what differs in western law, anglo saxon, english, british, american, and P-law.

    First, we have laws that exist without a market for enforcement of them. Chief among those limits on us, is the requirement for ‘standing’ before the court in matters of the commons, and the incremental grant of privilege to state officials of insulation from prosecution for their acts.

    Next, Laws only work the way we wish if (a) there is a market incentive to profit from the prosecution of those who violate it, (b) if they apply to everyone equally, (c) the law is technical and scientific, (d) if the judiciary is an empirical, difficult to enter TECHNICAL professional ‘priesthood’ (high status, high income, low corruption), (e) the military will, in the end, enforce the rulings of the judiciary if it must.

    P attempts – I think more successfully than in all of history – to both state these factors openly, and produce a constitution that produces each of the requirements above.

    Among the most important weaknesses of our constitution is that much of the english common law upon which it rests is not stated (Sovereignty). Or for example, why the west uses three priesthoods (juridical negativa, scientific ‘practical’, and priestly positiva) in competition with one another.

    Yet it is this market vs everyone else’s monopoly that provides not only a division of labor but our unique adaptability.

    There is evidence throughout history that technical bureaucracies work. The problem with systems of thought is transforming them from customs, to philosophies, to sciences, to formal logics. And that is what P-law does.

    As for “best we can hope for” – that doesn’t work because humans operate at the minimum morality that they can get away with. Our customary law is extremely ‘complete’ in this regard only because it is predicated on sovereignty of the individual, (every man and his manor is his own country).

    So quite the opposite.

    The best we can do doesn’t require ‘hoping’ for anything – it requires we simply create a market for incentives to prosecute those who would violate that sovereignty, law, constitution, and it’s articles, legislation, regulation, and findings of the court.

    That said, it is a militia of men of shared oath to one another that is the only defense against usurpers.

    I will give that oath to you if you will give it to me.

    And that is all that is required.
