—“The only way to defeat intolerance (of civilisation, meritocracy, commons) is by being even more intolerant of deceit and non-reciprocal costs.”—

It’s better to belong to a cult of truth, sovereignty, reciprocity, duty, and markets in everything, than (a) to be wrong, (b) to be a sophist (c) be dedicated to any OTHER cult. Western law is a cult. hence why Americans treat the constitution (of natural law) as sacred. They just couldn’t defend it as such. The law is a cult, and that is its virtue. I’m thoroughly thrilled to institutionalize that cult. You think calling natural law fundamentalism a cult is an insult? It’s a recognition of SUCCESS. (a) a moral license for violence… (b) a set of demands, (c) a plan of transition (d) a threat of sufficient concern that the other parties acquiesce. But better – a scientific religion of intergenerational transmission.

But the origins of roman and common law traditions are the same: germanic sovereignty, and empirical resolution of disputes over property by reciprocity.

That’s not quite right. When I use ‘common law’ I refer to the common law of tort, or ‘natural law’. The roman system had to impose rule on others so they converted the via-negativa of the common law of tort into two tiers, and stated it via-positiva to limit jurists.

HENCE WHY EUROPEANS NEED THEIR EMPIRE OF NATION STATES UNDER OUR OWN “SHARIA”: NATURAL LAW
—“Our field’s fixation on the Westphalian state has tended to obscure the fact that the main actors in global politics, for most of time immemorial, have been empires rather than states … In fact, it is a very distorted view of even the Westphalian era not to recognize that it was always at least as much about empires as it was states. Almost all of the emerging European states no sooner began to consolidate than they were off on campaigns of conquest and commerce to the farthest reaches of the globe… Ironically, it was the European empires that carried the idea of the sovereign territorial state to the rest of the world…”— Burbank and Cooper

The dirty secret of western civilization is that while we invented Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Natural Law,and Market Politics that gave us reason and science, we started out as cattle raiders, pirates, and conquerors, and all the ‘goods’ that we gave the world were an accidental byproduct of the only means of governing voluntary organizations of warriors, raiders, pirates, and conquerors: entrepreneurs.
