    DECONFLATION OF THE LAW

    Legislation consists of assigning rights, obligations, procedures, restitutions, and punishments, and regulation consists of the same to enforce legislation.

    There is but one law and it is reciprocity.

    The FINDINGS OF LAW in the common law constitute application of reciprocity to disputes, and the recording of those findings as advice to all subsequent jurists.

    6 – The Law (reciprocity)

    4 – Findings of Law (application)

    3 – Regulation (enforcement)

    2 – Legislation (political command)

    1 – Command. (authoritarian command)

    Cheers

    REMOVE THEM FROM THE POLITICAL COMMONS FOR THEIR SAFETY AND OURS.

    —“The problem with the current structure of government is that there is a buffer between choice/action and consequence. When there is no buffer between choice/action and consequence reality/nature is the best teacher, experience the best path to wisdom. Only clinically insane and deeply mentally challenged people wantonly put their hand in the fire a third time… Those are the people you need to remove from the commons for their own safety and ours.”—Anne Summers

  • IN DEFENSE OF THE DEMAND FOR DUE DILIGENCE IN PUBLIC SPEECH, AND THE PUNISHMENT

    IN DEFENSE OF THE DEMAND FOR DUE DILIGENCE IN PUBLIC SPEECH, AND THE PUNISHMENT OF FALSE SPEECH.

    by John Mark

    (must read) (central argument)

    1 – It is too difficult to teach Bullsh-t detection to masses of people with heavy biases and an avg IQ of 85-105 (depending on the nation). Half or more of the population (below 105-106) cannot tell what is true or not even if they try. The solution is not teaching; it won’t work. The solution is punishment. (Law)

    2 – Allowing lying allows left-instinct people to rally using lies and false promises. It’s a Dangerous thing to allow. Too dangerous.

    3 – Most people will have to refrain from making public pronouncements about matters which they have not done due diligence. This would be *wonderful*.

    4 – You only have the “rights” you & your friends can defend. If someone wants to defend their “right” to be wrong, they are fighting in favor of lies against truth. (I will not be joining that team.)

    5 – “More free speech” has failed. Because lying is faster, cheaper, easier than telling the truth. There is a world of difference between what the Left does (arbitrary, enforcing lies) & what we propose (scientific, enforcing truth). “The way most people want to live”…the left wants to pretend lies are true; the Right benefits from truth and wants the *results* of truth. The Right is better served by enforcing truth (punishing lies) than by allowing lies or “free speech” (aka lies winning).

    6 – There would be more court cases for a while and then as people figure out what the consequences of their actions will be, the # of cases will drop significantly.

    – John Mark

    by Bill Joslin

    Compatiblism – degrees of bounded freedom.

    It’s about accounting for the causal chain and if the actor contributes to the causal chain (opposed to a causal chain being proof of no will). We can contribute to our causal chain because we can imagine alternate states of affairs. In that imagining we affect the causal chain.

    So the effect of that imagining will be varied. You can imagine via nonsense or reason – post-structuralism or post-positivism, mysticism or naturalism.

    You can chose, but you can’t avoid the consequences of that choice, no matter how much you imagine the state of affairs to be different than it actually is.

    —“Curt: what constitutes fight shooting vs target shooting?”—

    Target shooting is a way of keeping the cost down and continuing the tradition of riflemen upon which the USA is founded (as are the marines).

    But small arms today are absurdly effective, and the truth is that rifle rounds are the sort of ‘weapon that keeps on giving’ so to speak, in that they just keep going and going and going.

    Pistol rounds are, honestly, extremely effective at .380 and over, with all that mattering is the hit location, and rate of immobilization. Current 9mm semi autos are ‘almost’ idiot-proof, and carry 15+ rounds, and 30 if necessary.

    Pistols are easily concealed as are lots of extra magazines, and are wonderful indoors.

    Learning to ‘fight’ with a pistol like our ancestors did with swords (particularly fencing) is what policemen and swat teams are trained to do. (Not that I”m advocating gun-fu, which while interesting is just amusement.)

    See this example, starting on page 32.

    http://www.actiontarget.com/…/Advanced_Tactica_Handgun…

    ie: moving targets while you are moving, multiple targets, entry into spaces, shooting from wounded, shooting when down. shooting from cover vs concealment. reloading one handed.

    Normal everyday cop training.

    (PERSONAL: For me, I pretty much don’t do anything other than mozambique drills, double taps, while moving, and point-shooting. In fact, if I ever start teaching again I’m going to teach point shooting first, right after all the ‘don’t hurt yourself’ basics, and before anything else. My next handgun if I ever get the urge for another will be a ‘melted’ 9mm 1911 without sights.)
