Theme: Reciprocity

MORE ‘BERNARD’ (A SYNONYM FOR SOPHISM?)

—A simple empirical issue with “Natural” Law based systems: The delusion of natural law is a design to create an unchangeable law.”—

All laws of nature of unchangable, that’s what categorizes them as laws. We did not invent reciprocity. We discovered it. Every language throughout history that we know of has some version of ‘True/Not-False’ and ‘fair’/right/just’.

Again, reciprocity is calculable and decidable independent of opinion.

—“-A system based on an unchangeable law is a fixed system that cannot adapt to situations.”—

I mean, there are very few laws of nature, and the whole of reality including us obeys them. There is only one law of cooperation and that is reciprocity, and all legal codes, all moral codes, and all civilizations obey them in one way or another. But we construct all sorts of arrangements using that very simple law – from the primitive consanguineous to the most advanced technological. And it has to be that way for people to rationally cooperate. (The fact that it produces Pareto power distributions and Nash equilibriums not optimums for any or equality for all is a feature, not fault – otherwise evolution by suppression of the parasitic (and defective) would be impossible. This is a physical law of nature. The fact that we use reciprocity to CALCULATE (measure) that physical law is simply knowledge of it’s existence. And the fact that some try to cheat that law to defeat their inferiority is also knowledge of its existence.

So while all laws are unchangeable, our creativity in making use of them has been nearly endless.

—“-Any system of rules can be abused (hacked).”—

All social order suffer from the problem of centralizing rents(thefts, frauds, free riding) in order to suppress local rents, thereby increasing trust in production at the cost of decreasing trust in government. The problem is that few peoples have been successful at using central suppression of local (thefts, frauds, and rents). So yes because of the concentration of power in central suppression only courts and rule of law of reciprocity, and high trust society have succeeded in suppressing central rent seeking whatsoever. That said, as I’ve tried to show in my work, there is no reason why we cannot suppress those centralized rents as well as localized rents. It’s just a matter of continuing the expansion of the investments we insure against parasitism and predation, by expansion of the law, and removal of the freedom from prosecution of those in the centralization of suppression.

—“As opposed to the delusions of Fascistic objectivists, hackable systems reward not the “geniuses” they envision, but the ones that are most able to hack the particular system.”—

Well, truth, sovereignty, reciprocity, and as a consequence, markets in everything, are indeed fascist in the sense that such juridical system (nomocracy) leaves no room for opposition (lying, non-sovereignty, irreciprocity, and involuntary organization of productions of all kinds.) SO yes, that’s why I call nomocracy (humorously) market fascism for the same reason truth is a fascism. You can’t really oppose truth, sovereignty, and reciprocity and justify it as anything other than parasitism and dysgenia.

—“As people realize a patch is impossible, they will slowly develop a desire to change the law so that it rewards people for helping the group instead of abusing it.”—-

Historically, the means of circumventing a failure of legal operation is civil conflict, revolt, or revolution. The anglo saxon system has lasted the longest by far for the simple reason that all that has been required is a conflict followed by increasing the limits on the state and increasing the participation of the membership. Compare that with the french or italian or for god’s sake russian and chinese…. The Hindus are interesting because while a deeply feminine civilization and easily and repeatedly dominated, and unable to develop technological civilization, they maintained the same system of rule effectively forever.

But conversely what you suggest is simply false. Monarchies and governments have allowed trading posts or ‘ghettos’ to use their own customary rule internally but forced reciprocity across groups. In fact every attempt to produce a competing law has been suppressed because the only reason to do so is fraud. This is the purpose of pirate alliances, borderlands, and libertarian and marxist communes, and neoconservatives empires. They are always defeated because they must of necessity exist by escaping the costs of the commons that make private production possible.

—“This creates a subgroup that will crush the fixed system as hacking becomes more and more optimized and more and more unfair.”—

Except that has never happened right? Look what France and the Church did to the Templars. The opposite has always happened. Subgroups are crushed. Because in the end, we are always evolving toward reciprocity because we are always expanding scale of cooperation. Otherwise we enter into war. Which is simply the choice of predation over cooperation.

—“-Eventually, a patchable system will be created to allow the group to react to hackers.”—

Again that’s never happened. The best can be said is that the jews in the absence of the templars exploited the aristocracy’s bias against usury, and eventually rolled into the Rothschild/Napoleon/Bank of England debacle. Precisely becuase aristocracy found usury irreciprocal (dirty, and immoral).

So the rest of what you wrote is just wishful thinking nonsense contrary ot history contrary to incentives, and as such contrary to logic.

The strong rule, the weak are ruled, and the strong practice extraction in exchange for forcing reciprocity upon the ordinary people – because it’s simply the most profitable option, and profits are needed to finance the most profitable industry of all: RULE.

–DRIVEL BELOW THIS LINE—

—“-The power to patch will be more and more decentralized to avoid abuse as time shows that fixed authority figures are too hackable a feature. -Eventually, any group will very slowly decentralize law systems to make them too fluid to hack. -The system is as unhackable as possible when it is fully decentralized. At that point, hacking the system will require hacking an amount of subsystems equivalent to a human critical mass necessary for coercion.-To defend against it, people will slowly develop their own patchability via philosophy so that they themselves become hard to hack. This is done by abandoning individual morality and adopting a dialectical ethical system within oneself. This is only true if the original system allows for something to abuse. Property is such a feature.”—

Like i said. Drivel.
