    Article III

    Natural Rights and Obligations

    Under The Natural Law of Reciprocity

    [W]hereas;

    ( … ) (only incentive)

    And Whereas;

    The Natural Law consists in Sovereignty (via-positiva) and Reciprocity (via-negativa), in display, word and deed, including Reciprocity in Speech (truthful speech) regardless of cost to the Status (dominance, competence hierarchy), within the limits of Proportionality (in-group defection) within the limits of the utility of cooperation (out groups).

    Reciprocity requires limiting our display, word, and deed to: – Fully informed (truthful and complete); – – Regardless of cost to the status, competence, or dominance hierarchy. – Productive and; – Voluntary transfer (or exchange, or imposition of costs upon); – The Demonstrated interests of Others; – Either directly or indirectly (by externality) – Within the limit of possible due diligence; – Within the limit of incentive for in-group defection; – Within The Limit of the Utility of future out-group Cooperation; – And liable and warrantied, within the limits of restitutability; – Eliminating the incentive of retaliation and retaliation cycles, – And imposition of costs upon the commons of trust by which all ingroup cooperate.

    Reciprocity In Display, Word, and Deed

    Regarding Truthful Speech;

    Definition;

    Truth: “Testimony that Satisfies Demand for Infallibility”

    Where Truth consists of the series:
      1. Tautological Truth: That testimony you give when promising the equality of two statements using different terms: A circular definition, a statement of equality or a statement of identity.
      2. Analytic Truth: The testimony you give promising the internal consistency of one or more statements used in the construction of a proof in an axiomatic(declarative) system. (a Logical Truth).
      3. Ideal Truth: That testimony (description) you would give, if your knowledge (information) was complete, your language was sufficient, stated without error, cleansed of bias, and absent deceit, within the scope of precision limited to the context of the question you wish to answer; and the promise that another possessed of the same knowledge (information), performing the same due diligence, having the same experiences, would provide the same testimony. (Ideal Truth = Perfect Parsimony.)
      4. Truthfulness: that testimony (description) you give if your knowledge (information) is incomplete, your language is insufficient, you have performed due diligence in the elimination of error, imaginary content, wishful thinking, bias, fictionalism, and deceit; within the scope of precision limited to the question you wish to answer; and which you warranty to be so; and the promise that another possessed of the knowledge, performing the same due diligence, having the same experiences, would provide the same testimony.
      5. Reasonableness: that testimony (description) you give, as justification for your reporting of your belief, justification, preference, coice, or actions with full knowledge that knowledge is incomplete, your language is insufficient, but you have not performed due diligence in the elimination of error and bias, but which you warranty is free of deceit; within the scope of precision limited to the question you wish to answer; and the promise that another possess of the same knowledge (information), performing the same due diligence, having the same experiences, would provide the same testimony.
      6. Honesty: that testimony (description) you give with full knowledge that knowledge is incomplete, your language is insufficient, but you have not performed due diligence in the elimination of error and bias, but which you warranty is free of deceit; within the scope of precision limited to the question you wish to answer; and the promise that another possess of the same knowledge (information), performing the same due diligence, having the same experiences, would provide the same testimony.
    Where; 
      1. Truthful Speech Satisfies the Demand for Increasing Infallibility of Decidability
    Where; Demand for Decidability Consists In:
      1. In the REVERSE: a question (statement) is DECIDABLE if an algorithm (set of operations) exists within the limits of the system (rules, axioms, theories) that can produce a decision (choice). In other words, if information sufficient for the decision is present (ie: is decidable) within the system(ie: grammar) in the absence of appeal (default to) intuition.
      2. In the OBVERSE: Instead, we should determine if there is a means of choosing without the need for additional information supplied from outside the system (ie: not discretionary).

    Or; If DISCRETION, by appeal to (default to) intuition or preference, is necessary then the question is undecidable, and if discretion is unnecessary, a proposition is decidable. This separates reasoning (in the narrow sense) from calculation (in the wider sense) from computation (algorithm).

    Given the Spectrum of Demand for Decidability:
      1. Intelligible: Decidable enough to imagine a conceptual relationship
      2. Reasonable: Decidable enough for me to feel confident that my decision will satisfy my needs, and is not a waste of time, energy, resources.
      3. Actionable: Decidable enough for me to take actions given time, effort, knowledge, resources.
      4. Ethical and Moral: Decidable enough for me to not impose risk or costs upon the interests of others, or cause others to retaliate against me, if they have knowledge of and transparency into my actions.
      5. Normative: Decidable enough to resolve a conflict without subjective opinion among my fellow people with similar values.
      6. Judicial: Decidable enough to resolve a conflict without subjective opinion across different peoples with different knowledge, comprehension and values.
      7. Scientific: Decidable regardless of all opinions or perspectives (True)
      8. Logical: Decidable out of physical or logical necessity
      9. Tautological: Decidedly identical in properties (referents) if not references (terms). So to borrow the one of many terms from Economics, we can see in this series (list) a market demand for increasingly infallible decidability.

    1. Existential (or Natural) Interests:

    Definition:

    Existential (or Natural) Interests: Interests inherent in physical existence, self-determination, mindfulness, reproduction, and exit of and insulation from the commons.

    Where; Existential (or Natural) Interests include:

    1. Self:  Life, Body, Genes, Mind, Attention, Memories, Time, and Action, Stimulation,  Experience, Knowledge,

    2. Privacy: Sexual Preference and Activity Letters and Records Home (nest, rest)

    3. Kin and Interpersonal (Relationship) Interests Mates (access to sex/reproduction), and Marriage Children (genetic reproduction) Consanguineous Relations (family, kin, clan, tribal and national relations)

    ( … )

    3. Insurance,?????

    ( … )

    4. Reproduction,

    ( … )

    6.  Commons

    ( … )

    7. Polities

    ( … )

    AND Obtained Interests:

    Definition:

    Obtained Interest: Interests that are obtained by bearing a cost of opportunity, time, effort, resources, to obtain that interest without imposing upon the previously born costs of others.

    Where; Obtained Interests Include:

    6. Several (Personal) Interests Personal property: “Things an individual has a Monopoly Of Control over the use of.”

    7. Shareholder (Fractional) Interests Shares in property: Recorded And Quantified Shareholder Property (claims for partial ownership)

    8. Title Interests (Weights and Measures) Trademarks and Brands (prohibitions on fraudulent transfers within a geography).

    9. Artificial Interests (Privileges) Letters of Marque, Patents, Copyrights, Grants of License.

    10. Common Interests, or “Commons” (Community Property)

    (i) Institutional Property: “Those objects into which we have invested our forgone opportunities, our efforts, or our material assets, in order to aggregate capital from multiple individuals for mutual gain.”

    (ii) Informational commons: knowledge. Information.

    (iii) Informal (Normative) Institutions: Our norms: habits, manners, ethics and morals. Informal institutional property is nearly impossible to quantify and price.  The costs are subjective and consist of forgone opportunities.

    (iv) Formal (Physical) Commons: the territory, it’s waterways, parks, buildings, improvements and infrastructure.

    (v) Formal (Procedural) Institutions: Our institutions: Religion, Education, Banking, Treasury, Government, Laws, Courts.

    (vi) Monuments (art and artifacts). Monuments claim territory, demonstrate wealth, and provide one of the longest most invariable normative and economic returns that any culture can construct as a demonstration of conspicuous production (wealth), and as such, conspicuous excellence. (hence why competing monuments represent an invasion. Temples, Churches, Museums, Sculptures being the most obvious examples of cultural claim or conquest. )

    (vii) Common Opportunity Interests When people come together in proximity, and suppress impositions of costs upon the interests of others through the incremental evolution of the law of reciprocity, they decrease the time and effort required to produce voluntary association, cooperation and exchange. As such polities decrease opportunity costs, and generate opportunities. These opportunities are un-homesteaded (opportunities) until invested in by individuals either by expenditure of time effort and resources, or by forgoing opportunities for consumption. As such the proximity of people and the institution of reciprocity under law produce a commons of opportunities that we seize (homestead) by competition. As such no one may claim interest in an opportunity without conducting and exchange by which to seize it.

    Regarding Several Property Interests

    ( … )

    Regarding Artificial Property Interests

    Whereas;

    The purpose of copyrighttrademarkbrandpatent, and natural patent is to prevent profit without contribution to research, development, and production – it is a prohibition on free riding.

    Therefore;

    1 – The purpose of Trademark is the production of a weight and measure, and all such marks shall constitute a weight and measure. As such the right of the people to register trademarks, and prohibit violations of those trademarks shall not be infringed.The purpose of the practice of “branding” using the full range of visible properties available to man, shall constitute a weight and measure.

    2 – The purpose of Copyright is to prevent profit from the productivity of an author in the market for goods, services, and information. Copyright shall be reduced to the Creative Commons that disallows profiting from the distribution of works by others but permits copying for personal and non-commercial use. (Defund Entertainment through elimination of market subsidy via copyright, yet preserve rights of creators from profiting from their efforts without compensation. This shall not be construed beyond the original intent of this clause which is the free distribution of all creative works but the requirement to negotiate compensation from the use of such works for commercial purposes. In other words, a radio station may play music for free and a civic festival show a video for free, but the use of any works in acts of marketing, advertising, or branding, or reproduction for sale require negotiation with the creator.

    3 – The purpose of Patents is to subsidize BASIC technological research and investment such that the rewards for basic research are substantive.Patents are not a vehicle depriving the market of innovations, or depriving the market of goods services or information, or creating rents, but for providing compensation and reward for investment in basic research.As such, the scope of patents shall be limited to basic research in materials and processes of physical transformation and construction, and in particular neither logical nor aesthetic patents shall be issued. They shall be protected under copyright and trademark.

    4 – The purpose of Natural Patents is to provide compensation to individuals for the production of innovation whether by design or accident. A natural patent shall apply to the use of an individual’s genome or any other biological product for commercial use.

    5 – The durability of copyright, trademark, brand, patent, and natural patents:

      • The durability of Copyright shall be the lifetime of the creators and living offspring at the time of production.
      • The durability of trademark shall be the continued production of the good, service, or information plus three years.
      • The durability of a brand shall be the continued production of the good plus three years.
      • The durability of a patent shall be the direct cost of investment times five, the duration of the production, distribution, and sale plus eighteen months.Patents may be sold, but only for the purpose of production. Patents may not be held either to deny the market, nor to farm the patent for dividends, nor to pursue profit for patent infringement independent of production.
      • The durability of a natural patent shall be the lifetime of the individual, his offspring whether living or yet to be.

    Regarding Common Property Interests

    1 – The right of Transit, including driving, on existing routes, shall not be infringed for any reason other than for the past imposition on risk of others by means of recklessness, impairment driving, or interference in other’s driving, whether by display, word, or deed.

    2 – All laws regarding the use of private and common spaces and all within them shall enumerate which rights are granted and if unenumerated shall be deemed ‘Sacred’; meaning that one has none of the rights listed below, whatsoever.

    Those rights shall be:

      • Sacred: no rights.
      • Transit – passage by walking through 3d space, without mechanical or other aid, limited to what you can carry, on existing paths.

      • Loiter – Enumerated as ‘Rest’, Sleep, ‘Stay’
      • Congregation – of more than one person.

    Regarding The Construction, Maintenance,  Preservation, and Epansion of Trust Whereas; Therefore; Obligation to perform, right to recieve,

    The Natural European ethic

    Beauty in mastery in craftsmanship, elegance in design, virtues in meaning Excellence demonstrated by achievement in adversarial competition Heroism – direction of dominance, and suffering of burdens to the production of commons, Capitalization – in leaving the world improved in capital progressing to an eden for having lived in it Truth – Truth Before Face, Personal, Familial, competence, dominance hierarchy Respect – a reward to be earned not a presumption to be granted ??? – Public Compliment and Accolade and Private Criticism. ??? – The treatment of members of the polity as customers in all markets of cooperation

    The Christian European Ethic

    The eradication of hatred from the human heart The oath of non aggression against others The extension of kinship love to all in the polity The exhaustion of forgiveness before abandonment, ostracization or punishment. The demand for personal act of material charity, and the prohibition on unearned or symbolic virtue signaling The reward in calm mind, virtous heart, and confident soul by surrender of responsibility and absolution from failure, criticism or blame for having done so.

    The Heathen Ethic

    The Celebration of Debt to Universe, Nature, Ancestors, and Heroes, whose inheritance we enjoy. The Sacredness of the Family, The Faith, The Law, and the People, whose contributions we enjoy The Public Celebration of Joy, Private Suffering of Complaint, whose happiness we all enjoy

    Regarding Language of Speech  Whereas;

    ( … ) (Differences in language : high precision, low context, the relation to truth and operational speech, the metaphysical content of languages, and the costs of frictions from competing other speech.)

    Therefore;

    1 – The language shall be English and exclusively English in all public speech, including display word and deed, with no accommodation, tolerance or exception.

    ( Counsel: whereas English is a precise legal and scientific language suitable for operational speech; and whereas the commonality of language reinforces a commonality and subtlety of meaning, and the associated premiums therefrom, no one has the right to impose costs on that commons we call language by competition. )

    (Counsel: The right of association is meaningless without rights of disassociation (exclusion).  The right of disassociation for any reason whatsoever shall be restored, and no forcible interactions shall be imposed upon people. This ends the forced association of peoples against their will)

    2. The right of the people to freedom of association, disassociation, and exit, for any reason, in matters private, commercial, and political shall not be infringed.  The people shall have the right to form gatherings, organizations, enterprises, neighborhoods, regions or realms by any criteria they choose without exception.

    3. All members of any organization, whether Religious, Intellectual, Political, Civic, Commercial, or Criminal; and whether formal or informal, shall insure the display, word, and deed of all other members, and shall be be accountable for the display word and deed of all other members in actions of common interests.

    Constitution: Man

    Article I

    Man

    Man

    Definition: ( … ) Whereas Man Demonstrates: Agency (self determination)(will to power)(positive and negative  freedom) Definition:

    —“Agency consists in the capacity of individuals to act independently and to make their own choices subject to both personal and external limitations.”—

    ( Counsel: —“Agency refers to the absence of impediment, the same way that truth refers to the absence of falsehood. We do not know what the unknown impediments and falsehoods consists of, we only know that they are removable by science, technology, time, effort and resources.”—- )

    Perfect agency would consist in perfect knowledge (omniscience), perfect reason, perfect emotions, perfect mental and emotional discipline (mindfulness), perfect ability to act (omnipotence), unlimited resources, and no competition, no need to cooperate, and therefore no need for conventions, laws, institutions, or infrastructure. As humans we have imperfect knowledge, imperfect reason, imperfect mindfulness, imperfect emotions, limited range of actions, limited resources, and we live in a world where we must compete, must cooperate to compete, and to do so require conventions, laws, institutions, and infrastructure. A host of factors that increase or limit an individual and his or her Agency, such as age,  gender, social class, ethnicity, religion, customs, education, economic institutions, government, propaganda, ability, knowledge, ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, and deceit. Meaning that one’s agency is determined by the combination of beneficial institutions, abilities, and knowledge and inhibiting institutions, abilities, and knowledge. Therefore Agency consists in the degree to which one approaches perfect ability to act, when not limited by knowledge, reason, emotions, mindfulness, range of action, available instrumentation, available resources, competition, cooperation, conventions, laws, institutions and infrastructure. Given we can never have unlimited knowledge, unlimited resources, and we have limited ability to be free of competition, need for cooperation, conventions, laws, institutions, and infrastructure, we can seek largely to improve our knowledge, reason, mindfulness, and assets so that we maximize our agency within the available limits. We are ignorant of the future limitations we might encounter, but we are impeded (limited) in mental capacity, mindfulness, knowledge, physical ability, resources, time, social, political, our physical world, and the laws of nature. So we face limits to imagination, thought, independence from emotions, impulses and biases, knowledge, models of knowledge, the rate of knowledge accumulated, physical size, strength, speed, perception, health, cellular degeneration, biological composition, energy, physical resources, time, limits of imposed upon us by others, and the limits of controlling of others, and the limited abilities of others, and the limitations of the environment and the physical universe. Individuals and groups have evolved a distribution of biological potential for agency, and a distribution of habits, manners, ethics, morals, laws, traditions, and institutions (Culture) suitable to their agency. And the cumulative result of both biological and cultural is the their rate of development and means of group competition, survival, and evolution. AND Action (Display, Word, and Deed) ( … ) ( … Action is possible because of memory …  Memory permits forecasting …. ) Subjectively testable sequence of actions Observable sequence of actions AND Acquisition; Where; Man acts to acquire. Life is an expensive means of defeating entropy. Acting improves acquisition – at additional cost. Memory improves acquisition – at additional cost. Reason improves acquisition – at additional cost. Cooperation improves acquisition – at additional cost.
    • Life: Man is an expensive life form.
    • Time:  (time here) ( … )
    • Action: Man has three sets of faculties: physical, intuitionistic, and rational; with them he can Sense (physical), Memorize (knowledge), Intuit (emotional), Reason (cognitive, calculative), Communicate (display, word, and deed), and Act (move).
    • Acquisition: Man must act to defeat the continuous cost of existence in time, by continuous acquisition of information, opportunities, associations, resources, goods, and services to survive, prosper, and reproduce.
    —‘the social object of skilled investment should be to defeat the dark forces of time and ignorance which envelope our future,’—
    • Incentive: It is in man’s interest to seek:
      1. The greatest return;
      2. With the least effort;
      3. In the least time;
      4. Using the least resources;
      5. With the least uncertainty;
      6. With the least risk;
      7. With the least negative externalities;
    • Discounts …  Premiums  ( … )
    • Cost: Man pays costs consisting of the difference between the one choice and the next best choice – the next best choice including inaction. All costs are costs of opportunity.

    AND Interests;

    Definition; 1. Interest: Having born a cost, by action, or forgone action (inaction), in order to obtain Advantage (utility), in an asset (anything providing an advantage (utility)), until consumed (destroyed), converted (into something else), exchanged, or discarded. 2. Demonstrated Interests, (Demonstrated Property, “Property-In-Toto”):  The set of that which man acts, or forgoes opportunities for action, (satisfaction) to acquire, preserve, accumulate, use and consume. Given; One bears costs of existing and persisting (Natural Interest). One bears costs of acting (Demonstrated Action). One bears costs of acquiring goods, services, information, opportunity by action or forgone opportunity for action.(Demonstrated Cost) One demonstrates an interest by bearing a cost on that which no other has born a cost to demonstrate an interest (Demonstrated Interest). One consents to a portfolio of reciprocally insured property (normative property interest) with others. One consents or is forced to comply with an institutional means of reciprocally insuring property with others (title interest). Therefore; Demonstrated interest without imposing upon others demonstrated interests is a fact. Possession is a fact. Property requires an an agreement. Property rights require an institutional means of enforcement. 2. Capital, “Capital-in-Toto”: The Scope of Possible Demonstrated Interests (Capital-in-Toto), and Portfolio of accumulated Demonstrated Interests (Capital). Where; Demonstrated Interests include the Existential (Natural), Obtained, and Common 1. Existential (or Natural) Interests: Definition ( … ) Where; Existential (Or Natural) Interests Include: 1. Self:  Life, Body, Genes, Memories, Mind, Attention Time, and Action Stimulation, Experience 2. Kin and Interpersonal (Relationship) Interests Mates (access to sex/reproduction), and Marriage Children (genetic reproduction) Consanguineous Relations (family, kin, clan, tribal and national relations) 3. Reputation, Status and Class (reputation, honor) Self-Image, Status, Reputation Social, Sexual, Economic, Political, and Military Market Value 4. Sustainable Patterns of Association, Cooperation, Insurance, Reproduction,  Production, Distribution and Trade Friends, Acquaintances, Neighbors, Cooperative Relations, Commercial Relations, Political Relations, and Military Relations. 2. Obtained Interests include: Definition: Obtained Interest:  Interests that are obtained by bearing a cost of opportunity, time, effort, resources, to obtain that interest without imposing upon the previously born costs of others. Where; Obtained Interests Include:

    6. Several (Personal, Monopoly) Interests Several Property: Those things we claim a monopoly of control over.

    7. Shareholder (Fractional) Interests Shares in property: Recorded And Quantified Shareholder Property (claims for partial ownership).

    8. Title Interests (Weights and Measures) Trademarks and Brands (prohibitions on fraudulent transfers within a geography).

    9. Artificial Interests (Privileges) Letters of Marque, Patents, Copyrights, Grants of License.

    Common (Fractional) Interests, or “Commons” (Common Property). Definition; An Interest, in which all members of an organization, whether familial, social, commercial, or political, share an equal interest, by virtue of paying costs of membership in the organization. Where; Common interests include: 1. Common Physical (Fractional) Interests

    (1) Formal (Physical) Commons:  Territorial, Resources: natural resources. It’s waterways, improvements and infrastructure.

    (2) Buildings, Halls, Markets, Squares, Parks

    (3) Monuments (art and artifacts). Monuments claim territory, demonstrate wealth, and provide one of the longest most invariable normative and economic returns that any culture can construct as a demonstration of conspicuous production (wealth), and as such, conspicuous excellence. (Hence why competing monuments represent an invasion. Temples, Churches, Museums, Sculptures being the most obvious examples of cultural claim or conquest.)

    2. Common Institutional (Fractional) Interests “Those interests into which we have invested our forgone opportunities, our efforts, or our material assets, in order to aggregate capital from multiple individuals for mutual gain.”

    (1) Formal (Procedural) Institutions: Our institutions: Religion, Education, Banking, Treasury, Government, Laws, Courts.

    (2) Calculative (Strategic) Institutions: Strategy, Myths, Traditions, Grammars, Arguments, Face vs Truth

    (3) Informal (Normative) Institutions: Norms, morals, ethics, manners, and habits.

    (4) Informational Institutions: Knowledge. Information.

    3. Common Human Capital (Fractional) Interests

    (1) Indoctrination (Tacit knowledge) (2) Skills (Explicit Knowledge) (3) Cooperative Commons: Trust (4) Population and Distribution: The distribution of our classes (5) Genetic Interests: Our Genome

    4. Common Opportunity (Fractional) Interests

    Definition:

    Opportunities to homestead (convert by cost) an Advantage into a Demonstrated Interest.

    Whereas;

    When people come together in proximity, and suppress impositions of costs upon the interests of others through the incremental evolution of the law of reciprocity, they decrease the time and effort required to produce voluntary association, cooperation and exchange. As such polities decrease opportunity costs, and in doing so generate accessible opportunities. These opportunities are un-homsesteaded (opportunities), lacking demonstrated interest, until invested in by individuals either by expenditure of time effort and resources, or by forgoing opportunities for consumption. As such the proximity of people and the institution of reciprocity under law produce a commons of opportunities that we seize (homestead) by competition. As such no one may claim interest in an opportunity without conducting an competitive exchange by which to seize it.

    Therefore;

    As such no one may claim interest in an opportunity without conducting a voluntary market exchange by which to seize it.

    AND; Cognitive Bias; Where;

    Cognitive biases arise from too much information, the limits of memory, insufficient meaning, the need to act quickly, and the need to preserve confidence sufficient to act in continuous uncertainty.  These biases vary between individuals, and some can be trained, but all humans are affected by them.

    They include:
      • Memory biases that either enhance or impair the recall of a memory (either the chances that the memory will be recalled at all, or the amount of time it takes for it to be recalled, or both), or that alters the content of a reported memory.
      • Attributional biases in effect perceptions of relations between the self and others;
      • Decision Making biases effect Decidability, belief, and behavior;
    AND; Frustration;

    ( … )

    (do neural economy here)

    AND Gender Bias;

    (herd vs pack)

    Whereas;

    1 – Males mature rather slowly, and may not speak for two years after females, and in the absence of dominance play, even more slowly – maturing from late childhood to fourteen, and then from fourteen to their early twenties. Females mature rather quickly, and increasingly quickly, and are generally mature by 16-18, although cognitive maturity (agency) seems to appear in mid thirties, where cognitive agency in males appears in late teens to early twenties.

    2 – Females bear a higher cost of reproduction and are more dependent for others, during long years of child caring and defense.  Males have a near zero cost of reproduction. However, in general, females and males favor female choice of mate – but after mating males appear to exhibit some form of ownership over females for a number of years.

    3 – Male aggression is frequent and short term, seeking negotiation for position in the hierarchy of antagonists.

    Males use dominance expression, threats and violence.

    In general, male aggressors are given status by males as long as they are creating order rather than threat.

    Female aggression is infrequent and never ending, seeking total destruction of antagonists.

    Women use disapproval, shaming, ridicule, rallying, gossip, and reputation destruction to cause panic and vulnerability in other females.

    Female aggressors are granted social status by females less aggressive.

    4 – Female cognitive bias is equalitarian, and male cognitive bias hierarchical.  This is evident in our moral biases, where females tend to more exclusively favor harm,care, and proportionality, and males tend to also favor reciprocity, sacredness, and hierarchy.   These biases correspond to property rights today, and property rights correspond to political preferences.

    Liberals/Females favor individual property rights (Consumption):

    (a) Care/harm for others, protecting them from harm. (The asset of life and body.) (b) Proportionality/cheating, Justice, treating others in proportion to their actions. (The asset of goods.) (c) Liberty/Oppression, characterizes judgments in terms of whether subjects are tyrannized. (The asset of time, opportunity.)

    Conservatives/Males ALSO Favor Community property rights (Saving, Denying Consumption to others):

    (d) In-Group Loyalty/In-Group Betrayal to/of your group, family, nation, polity. (e) Respect/Authority/Subversion for tradition and legitimate authority. (f) Purity/Sanctity/Degradation/Disgust, avoiding disgusting things, foods, actions.

    The male reproductive strategy among chimpanzees as well as humans evolved to kill off males in opposing groups and collect females and territory. And that females evolved to place greater emphasis on children and females than the (fungible) tribe – precisely because they could be captured and then reduced to lower status and possibly death under the females of another tribe – this is the origin of female behavior. Female attachment may exist but throughout history females have exposed more children to the elements than men have killed in war.

    Hierarchy (A Pack) requires only that you seek your position. There is no fear of exclusion, only change in position. Equality (A Herd) has no position so one is either in and conforming our out for not.

    Packs survive by fighting together and protecting each other, regardless of position in the hierarchy. Herds survive by fleeing and leaving the weak behind.

    This is the origin of differences in male (conservative), female (progressive) minds, and their cognitive, moral, and political biases.

    In other words, females evolved the herd cognitive and moral biases, and males evolved the pack cognitive and moral biases, and through evolutionary history we have unevenly distributed these intuitions along with the brain, endocrine, and developmental processes between the genders.

    This gradual division of perception, cognition, memory, labor, advocacy, coercion, and demand for satisfaction of such, along with our ability to voluntarily cooperate when we can and involuntarily be coerced when we must, has evolved a specialization of the feminine psychotic to solipsistic to compassionate to considerate to the rational to the analytical, to the mildly autistic, to the entirely autistic masculine on one axis, the agency we call intelligence and industriousness on the other axis.

    This division has resulted not only in a division of labor across the reproductive biases, but across the physical, cooperative, and cognitive spectrum of our abilities, and across the short term, medium term, and long term spectrum of time.

    Using these divisions of perception, cognition, labor, advocacy, and coercion; physical, social, and cognitive labor; and short term, medium term, and long term focus, we can adapt to nearly any long term environment by little more than the combined utility of those traits. This requires no substantial genetic mutation, only voluntary reproductive bias for traits that produce social, economic, and political status in that environment.

    We gradually ameliorated our sex differences in strategy, cognition, and moral intuition, by pairing-off, and then controlling alphas. This compromise was generally in favor of females since the majority of females reproduced, and the minority of males reproduced.  This persisted until (it appears) agrarianism where we developed marriage out of pairing off in order to preserve the advantage of scarce property (capital) within an intergenerational family, and improve our division of labor between the genders.

    Some groups evolved to specialize more in the male biases, and some more so in the female biases.

    Therefore;

    AND; Moral Bias;

    Definition

    Moral (Proper) (Universal): Moral Norm (Group): Moral Intuition (Personal):

    Where;

    There exist three moral, and political biases that constitute our different moral intuitions, each which reflects our reproductive strategy (our terms; our criteria of demand for cooperation):

    1 – the dysgenic, proportional, immediate, sentimental (socialist, liberal, female and underclass), herd strategy.

    2 – the eugenic, reciprocal, temporal (libertarian, ascendant male), inclusive pack strategy, and;

    3 – the eugenic, reciprocal, intertemporal (aristocratic, conservative, established male) exclusive pack strategy.

    Which constitutes a spectrum of consumption and redistribution to concentration in quality. In other words the debate between EQUALITY and QUALITY is an expression of dysgenic proportionality and equality, and eugenic reciprocity and quality, which is the difference between the male GROUP strategy of their collective offspring vs the individual female strategy of their individual offspring – counter intuitive but many fundamental truths are – which is why we need to understand them.

    We seek discounts in our acquisitions. Some of these discounts are productive and moral and encourage cooperation, and some of them are unproductive and immoral, discourage cooperation, and encourage retaliation.

      • Only voluntary transfer is rational and non-coercive without creating demand for retaliation and decline of future opportunity for returns on cooperation.
      • Only productive voluntary exchange is reciprocally rational.
      • Only fully informed and warrantied productive voluntary exchange is ethical.

    Reproductive Competition; Where;
      • Man acts in furtherance of his reproductive strategy.
      • Male and Female reproductive strategies are in conflict.
      • The Female seeks to breed where it benefits her lineage; to force the cost of her offspring on the tribe through moral hazard; to further her offspring regardless of merit; to generalize to preserve adaptability to changing group dynamics; to preserve soft her soft-power by seeking safety in consensus, non conflict, and numbers, at the expense of Male interests. To limit accumulated cellular damage on behalf of the herd; To ostracize (kill) competitors through endless  reputation destruction; As such Females act to produce sufficient equality to reduce conflict. This consists in the Herd strategy and Instincts.
      • The Male seeks to breed impulsively wherever it does not harm his lineage; to use violence most frequently in defense of access to a female; to preserve hard power by creating a tribe capable of resisting dominance by other Males at the expense of Female interests; to specialize in the group at the cost of adaptability to changes in group dynamics; to seek safety in the company of a hierarchy of men capable of coordinating (hunting) by similar interests; to demonstrate hierarchy and loyalty; to absorb accumulated cellular damage on behalf of the females and children. As such Males act meritocratically;  This consists in the Pack strategy and Instincts.
      • Males and Females overlap in their uses of each other’s reproductive strategies, due to variations in dimorphism and reverse dimorphism present under evolutionary neoteny.
      • Without limits to both Male and Female behavior in favor of their strategies, the compromise between the strategies fails, and the extremes of each force costs upon the other.
      • Men evolved degrees of pairing-off in multiple relations, serial relations, and monogamy;  and degrees of ‘cheating’ from frequent to infrequent, as is in their ability and interest.
      • The institution of marriage of increasing length in response to the increase in productive capital under control of the family, produced an Equilibrium under which all do the best they can without imposing harm upon others, at the expense of  producing an optimum for any.

        2. Force: Military, Police, Law (or murder, violence, theft)
        3. Undermining: Ostracization, Gossip, Religion, Education, Propaganda (reputation destruction, deprivation of opportunity, information, deception)

      • The dominance of one group of specialists over another is historical and demographic.
      • Elites are necessary for decidability in coordination.

    Definition

    |Differences|Human Species (Macro Races) >  Major Races (subspecies) > Races > Tribes > Clans > Classes > Families > Sexes > Individuals >  Stage of Development (age) > Traits >   Knowledge > Skills 

    Where;

    The influential differences between races are due to (a) degree of neoteny due to climate, (b) size of the underclass due to both climate and means of production, (c) distribution of male and female biases (traits) between the genders in the group; and (d) the norms, traditions, customs, formal and informal institutions that were necessary for those traits in that distribution in that region.

    Where;

    Meaningful Variation in the Human Species is limited to the following Traits:

    1 – Degree of Neoteny (Asian, white, Indian, Iranic, Semitic, Pacific, African – testosterone levels, in that order)

    2 – Rate and Depth of Maturity. (Same as above)

    3 – Size of the Underclass through reproductive suppression and upward redistribution. (IQ levels and beneficial personality traits.)

    4 – Distribution of Gender Traits (emphasis vs reversal) both morphological, intuitive, cognitive, and behavioral.

    Including:

    1 – Distribution of Moral Intuition between female herd and male pack, because of distribution of Gender Traits.

    2 – Distribution of Personality Traits in the group of which Intelligence and Industriousness matters for both genders, and negative-agreeableness (decisiveness) matters for males.

    3 – Distribution of Cognitive Bias between female herd and male pack.

    (Note: AFAIK personality traits correspond to both stages of the prey drive, the modification of the prey drive for sex role, and our reward systems that produce the effects.)

    5 – Distribution of Age and Generations. (And cyclical bias of generations)

    6 – Group evolutionary Strategy using Gender Traits (Semitic maternal, Asian paternal, Western compromise). Including the manners, ethics, morals, norms, traditions, institutions public and private, and especially method of decidability, consequential logic, grammar, and vocabulary by which all such habits are expressed.

    Therefore;

    Human groups differ substantially in their distributions on these axis.

    Human variation produces different demands from the markets for association, cooperation, production, reproduction, and the production of commons.

    Political orders can favor kin or corporation, equality or meritocracy, with the optimum order being kin meritocracy, which will produce equality by externality of kin selection.

    The only reason to refrain from conquest, decimation, genocide is reciprocity under nation states.  And the justification of conquest, rule, decimation and genocide is the export of costs of domestication or failures of domestication upon others.

    THEREFORE;

    Heterogeneity – Settled – Diversity is a bad

    Where;

    ( … )

    (Pay your own costs of domestication)

    AND; Ethnocentrism – Settled

    1 – Ethnocentrism is the optimum group evolutionary strategy if for no other reason than reciprocal trust,  investment and insurance without sacrifice to kin selection. There is no competitor to it, whatsoever. People are more gregarious to their own, and more redistributive, with less fear of political competition, because all competition is internal and by class or faction rather than kin group. The problem has traditionally been that many ethic groups were not able to concentrate sufficient capital to create self governance, or had to be captured to prevent capture by others, or were of sufficient hazard to neighbors they were ruled.  (The exception is people lower on the ladder who look for allies against their betters, and to have ‘someone below them’ which appears very important to humans.)

    2 – Ethnocentrism eliminates race and tribe conflict in the suppression of expansion of underclasses through soft eugenics (paying the unproductive not to have children). There is no value in internal competitors. none.

    ( … )

    The result of these conditions, is that man seeks Agency, within the limits of his abilities, frustrations and comforts, with only so much reciprocity as he can get away with paying the costs of.

    —“The Will To Power”—

    (Self determination)

  • Constitution: Man

    Constitution: Man

    Article I

    Man

    Man

    Definition: ( … ) Whereas Man Demonstrates: Agency (self determination)(will to power)(positive and negative  freedom) Definition:

    —“Agency consists in the capacity of individuals to act independently and to make their own choices subject to both personal and external limitations.”—

    ( Counsel: —“Agency refers to the absence of impediment, the same way that truth refers to the absence of falsehood. We do not know what the unknown impediments and falsehoods consists of, we only know that they are removable by science, technology, time, effort and resources.”—- )

    Perfect agency would consist in perfect knowledge (omniscience), perfect reason, perfect emotions, perfect mental and emotional discipline (mindfulness), perfect ability to act (omnipotence), unlimited resources, and no competition, no need to cooperate, and therefore no need for conventions, laws, institutions, or infrastructure. As humans we have imperfect knowledge, imperfect reason, imperfect mindfulness, imperfect emotions, limited range of actions, limited resources, and we live in a world where we must compete, must cooperate to compete, and to do so require conventions, laws, institutions, and infrastructure. A host of factors that increase or limit an individual and his or her Agency, such as age,  gender, social class, ethnicity, religion, customs, education, economic institutions, government, propaganda, ability, knowledge, ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, and deceit. Meaning that one’s agency is determined by the combination of beneficial institutions, abilities, and knowledge and inhibiting institutions, abilities, and knowledge. Therefore Agency consists in the degree to which one approaches perfect ability to act, when not limited by knowledge, reason, emotions, mindfulness, range of action, available instrumentation, available resources, competition, cooperation, conventions, laws, institutions and infrastructure. Given we can never have unlimited knowledge, unlimited resources, and we have limited ability to be free of competition, need for cooperation, conventions, laws, institutions, and infrastructure, we can seek largely to improve our knowledge, reason, mindfulness, and assets so that we maximize our agency within the available limits. We are ignorant of the future limitations we might encounter, but we are impeded (limited) in mental capacity, mindfulness, knowledge, physical ability, resources, time, social, political, our physical world, and the laws of nature. So we face limits to imagination, thought, independence from emotions, impulses and biases, knowledge, models of knowledge, the rate of knowledge accumulated, physical size, strength, speed, perception, health, cellular degeneration, biological composition, energy, physical resources, time, limits of imposed upon us by others, and the limits of controlling of others, and the limited abilities of others, and the limitations of the environment and the physical universe. Individuals and groups have evolved a distribution of biological potential for agency, and a distribution of habits, manners, ethics, morals, laws, traditions, and institutions (Culture) suitable to their agency. And the cumulative result of both biological and cultural is the their rate of development and means of group competition, survival, and evolution. AND Action (Display, Word, and Deed) ( … ) ( … Action is possible because of memory …  Memory permits forecasting …. ) Subjectively testable sequence of actions Observable sequence of actions AND Acquisition; Where; Man acts to acquire. Life is an expensive means of defeating entropy. Acting improves acquisition – at additional cost. Memory improves acquisition – at additional cost. Reason improves acquisition – at additional cost. Cooperation improves acquisition – at additional cost.
    • Life: Man is an expensive life form.
    • Time:  (time here) ( … )
    • Action: Man has three sets of faculties: physical, intuitionistic, and rational; with them he can Sense (physical), Memorize (knowledge), Intuit (emotional), Reason (cognitive, calculative), Communicate (display, word, and deed), and Act (move).
    • Acquisition: Man must act to defeat the continuous cost of existence in time, by continuous acquisition of information, opportunities, associations, resources, goods, and services to survive, prosper, and reproduce.
    —‘the social object of skilled investment should be to defeat the dark forces of time and ignorance which envelope our future,’—
    • Incentive: It is in man’s interest to seek:
      1. The greatest return;
      2. With the least effort;
      3. In the least time;
      4. Using the least resources;
      5. With the least uncertainty;

      7. With the least negative externalities;
    • Discounts …  Premiums  ( … )
    • Cost: Man pays costs consisting of the difference between the one choice and the next best choice – the next best choice including inaction. All costs are costs of opportunity.

    AND Interests;

    Definition; 1. Interest: Having born a cost, by action, or forgone action (inaction), in order to obtain Advantage (utility), in an asset (anything providing an advantage (utility)), until consumed (destroyed), converted (into something else), exchanged, or discarded. 2. Demonstrated Interests, (Demonstrated Property, “Property-In-Toto”):  The set of that which man acts, or forgoes opportunities for action, (satisfaction) to acquire, preserve, accumulate, use and consume. Given; One bears costs of existing and persisting (Natural Interest). One bears costs of acting (Demonstrated Action). One bears costs of acquiring goods, services, information, opportunity by action or forgone opportunity for action.(Demonstrated Cost) One demonstrates an interest by bearing a cost on that which no other has born a cost to demonstrate an interest (Demonstrated Interest). One consents to a portfolio of reciprocally insured property (normative property interest) with others. One consents or is forced to comply with an institutional means of reciprocally insuring property with others (title interest). Therefore; Demonstrated interest without imposing upon others demonstrated interests is a fact. Possession is a fact. Property requires an an agreement. Property rights require an institutional means of enforcement. 2. Capital, “Capital-in-Toto”: The Scope of Possible Demonstrated Interests (Capital-in-Toto), and Portfolio of accumulated Demonstrated Interests (Capital). Where; Demonstrated Interests include the Existential (Natural), Obtained, and Common 1. Existential (or Natural) Interests: Definition ( … ) Where; Existential (Or Natural) Interests Include: 1. Self:  Life, Body, Genes, Memories, Mind, Attention Time, and Action Stimulation, Experience 2. Kin and Interpersonal (Relationship) Interests Mates (access to sex/reproduction), and Marriage Children (genetic reproduction) Consanguineous Relations (family, kin, clan, tribal and national relations) 3. Reputation, Status and Class (reputation, honor) Self-Image, Status, Reputation Social, Sexual, Economic, Political, and Military Market Value 4. Sustainable Patterns of Association, Cooperation, Insurance, Reproduction,  Production, Distribution and Trade Friends, Acquaintances, Neighbors, Cooperative Relations, Commercial Relations, Political Relations, and Military Relations. 2. Obtained Interests include: Definition: Obtained Interest:  Interests that are obtained by bearing a cost of opportunity, time, effort, resources, to obtain that interest without imposing upon the previously born costs of others. Where; Obtained Interests Include:

    6. Several (Personal, Monopoly) Interests Several Property: Those things we claim a monopoly of control over.

    7. Shareholder (Fractional) Interests Shares in property: Recorded And Quantified Shareholder Property (claims for partial ownership).

    8. Title Interests (Weights and Measures) Trademarks and Brands (prohibitions on fraudulent transfers within a geography).

    9. Artificial Interests (Privileges) Letters of Marque, Patents, Copyrights, Grants of License.

    Common (Fractional) Interests, or “Commons” (Common Property). Definition; An Interest, in which all members of an organization, whether familial, social, commercial, or political, share an equal interest, by virtue of paying costs of membership in the organization. Where; Common interests include: 1. Common Physical (Fractional) Interests

    (1) Formal (Physical) Commons:  Territorial, Resources: natural resources. It’s waterways, improvements and infrastructure.

    (2) Buildings, Halls, Markets, Squares, Parks

    (3) Monuments (art and artifacts). Monuments claim territory, demonstrate wealth, and provide one of the longest most invariable normative and economic returns that any culture can construct as a demonstration of conspicuous production (wealth), and as such, conspicuous excellence. (Hence why competing monuments represent an invasion. Temples, Churches, Museums, Sculptures being the most obvious examples of cultural claim or conquest.)

    2. Common Institutional (Fractional) Interests “Those interests into which we have invested our forgone opportunities, our efforts, or our material assets, in order to aggregate capital from multiple individuals for mutual gain.”

    (1) Formal (Procedural) Institutions: Our institutions: Religion, Education, Banking, Treasury, Government, Laws, Courts.

    (2) Calculative (Strategic) Institutions: Strategy, Myths, Traditions, Grammars, Arguments, Face vs Truth

    (3) Informal (Normative) Institutions: Norms, morals, ethics, manners, and habits.

    (4) Informational Institutions: Knowledge. Information.

    3. Common Human Capital (Fractional) Interests

    (1) Indoctrination (Tacit knowledge) (2) Skills (Explicit Knowledge) (3) Cooperative Commons: Trust (4) Population and Distribution: The distribution of our classes (5) Genetic Interests: Our Genome

    4. Common Opportunity (Fractional) Interests

    Definition:

    Opportunities to homestead (convert by cost) an Advantage into a Demonstrated Interest.

    Whereas;

    When people come together in proximity, and suppress impositions of costs upon the interests of others through the incremental evolution of the law of reciprocity, they decrease the time and effort required to produce voluntary association, cooperation and exchange. As such polities decrease opportunity costs, and in doing so generate accessible opportunities. These opportunities are un-homsesteaded (opportunities), lacking demonstrated interest, until invested in by individuals either by expenditure of time effort and resources, or by forgoing opportunities for consumption. As such the proximity of people and the institution of reciprocity under law produce a commons of opportunities that we seize (homestead) by competition. As such no one may claim interest in an opportunity without conducting an competitive exchange by which to seize it.

    Therefore;

    As such no one may claim interest in an opportunity without conducting a voluntary market exchange by which to seize it.

    They include:
      • Memory biases that either enhance or impair the recall of a memory (either the chances that the memory will be recalled at all, or the amount of time it takes for it to be recalled, or both), or that alters the content of a reported memory.

    AND; Frustration;

    (do neural economy here)

    AND Gender Bias;

    (herd vs pack)

    Whereas;

    1 – Males mature rather slowly, and may not speak for two years after females, and in the absence of dominance play, even more slowly – maturing from late childhood to fourteen, and then from fourteen to their early twenties. Females mature rather quickly, and increasingly quickly, and are generally mature by 16-18, although cognitive maturity (agency) seems to appear in mid thirties, where cognitive agency in males appears in late teens to early twenties.

    2 – Females bear a higher cost of reproduction and are more dependent for others, during long years of child caring and defense.  Males have a near zero cost of reproduction. However, in general, females and males favor female choice of mate – but after mating males appear to exhibit some form of ownership over females for a number of years.

    3 – Male aggression is frequent and short term, seeking negotiation for position in the hierarchy of antagonists.

    Males use dominance expression, threats and violence.

    In general, male aggressors are given status by males as long as they are creating order rather than threat.

    Female aggression is infrequent and never ending, seeking total destruction of antagonists.

    Women use disapproval, shaming, ridicule, rallying, gossip, and reputation destruction to cause panic and vulnerability in other females.

    Female aggressors are granted social status by females less aggressive.

    4 – Female cognitive bias is equalitarian, and male cognitive bias hierarchical.  This is evident in our moral biases, where females tend to more exclusively favor harm,care, and proportionality, and males tend to also favor reciprocity, sacredness, and hierarchy.   These biases correspond to property rights today, and property rights correspond to political preferences.

    Liberals/Females favor individual property rights (Consumption):

    (a) Care/harm for others, protecting them from harm. (The asset of life and body.) (b) Proportionality/cheating, Justice, treating others in proportion to their actions. (The asset of goods.) (c) Liberty/Oppression, characterizes judgments in terms of whether subjects are tyrannized. (The asset of time, opportunity.)

    Conservatives/Males ALSO Favor Community property rights (Saving, Denying Consumption to others):

    (d) In-Group Loyalty/In-Group Betrayal to/of your group, family, nation, polity. (e) Respect/Authority/Subversion for tradition and legitimate authority. (f) Purity/Sanctity/Degradation/Disgust, avoiding disgusting things, foods, actions.

    The male reproductive strategy among chimpanzees as well as humans evolved to kill off males in opposing groups and collect females and territory. And that females evolved to place greater emphasis on children and females than the (fungible) tribe – precisely because they could be captured and then reduced to lower status and possibly death under the females of another tribe – this is the origin of female behavior. Female attachment may exist but throughout history females have exposed more children to the elements than men have killed in war.

    Hierarchy (A Pack) requires only that you seek your position. There is no fear of exclusion, only change in position. Equality (A Herd) has no position so one is either in and conforming our out for not.

    Packs survive by fighting together and protecting each other, regardless of position in the hierarchy. Herds survive by fleeing and leaving the weak behind.

    This is the origin of differences in male (conservative), female (progressive) minds, and their cognitive, moral, and political biases.

    In other words, females evolved the herd cognitive and moral biases, and males evolved the pack cognitive and moral biases, and through evolutionary history we have unevenly distributed these intuitions along with the brain, endocrine, and developmental processes between the genders.

    This gradual division of perception, cognition, memory, labor, advocacy, coercion, and demand for satisfaction of such, along with our ability to voluntarily cooperate when we can and involuntarily be coerced when we must, has evolved a specialization of the feminine psychotic to solipsistic to compassionate to considerate to the rational to the analytical, to the mildly autistic, to the entirely autistic masculine on one axis, the agency we call intelligence and industriousness on the other axis.

    This division has resulted not only in a division of labor across the reproductive biases, but across the physical, cooperative, and cognitive spectrum of our abilities, and across the short term, medium term, and long term spectrum of time.

    Using these divisions of perception, cognition, labor, advocacy, and coercion; physical, social, and cognitive labor; and short term, medium term, and long term focus, we can adapt to nearly any long term environment by little more than the combined utility of those traits. This requires no substantial genetic mutation, only voluntary reproductive bias for traits that produce social, economic, and political status in that environment.

    We gradually ameliorated our sex differences in strategy, cognition, and moral intuition, by pairing-off, and then controlling alphas. This compromise was generally in favor of females since the majority of females reproduced, and the minority of males reproduced.  This persisted until (it appears) agrarianism where we developed marriage out of pairing off in order to preserve the advantage of scarce property (capital) within an intergenerational family, and improve our division of labor between the genders.

    Some groups evolved to specialize more in the male biases, and some more so in the female biases.

    Moral (Proper) (Universal): Moral Norm (Group): Moral Intuition (Personal):

    Where;

    There exist three moral, and political biases that constitute our different moral intuitions, each which reflects our reproductive strategy (our terms; our criteria of demand for cooperation):

    1 – the dysgenic, proportional, immediate, sentimental (socialist, liberal, female and underclass), herd strategy.

    2 – the eugenic, reciprocal, temporal (libertarian, ascendant male), inclusive pack strategy, and;

    3 – the eugenic, reciprocal, intertemporal (aristocratic, conservative, established male) exclusive pack strategy.

    Which constitutes a spectrum of consumption and redistribution to concentration in quality. In other words the debate between EQUALITY and QUALITY is an expression of dysgenic proportionality and equality, and eugenic reciprocity and quality, which is the difference between the male GROUP strategy of their collective offspring vs the individual female strategy of their individual offspring – counter intuitive but many fundamental truths are – which is why we need to understand them.

        2. Cooperation (Productive Exchange), or;
        3. Conflict (Parasitism, Predation, or War)
      • Man can voluntarily cooperate because he can sympathize with the intentions of others, communicate, and negotiate terms of cooperation, and determine the returns on cooperation, and choose whether and which actions to take with his limited time, effort, resources, and will.
      • Man has only one incentive to cooperate: the value of doing so is greater than the alternatives of avoidance and conflict.

    We seek discounts in our acquisitions. Some of these discounts are productive and moral and encourage cooperation, and some of them are unproductive and immoral, discourage cooperation, and encourage retaliation.

      • Only voluntary transfer is rational and non-coercive without creating demand for retaliation and decline of future opportunity for returns on cooperation.
      • Only productive voluntary exchange is reciprocally rational.
      • Only fully informed and warrantied productive voluntary exchange is ethical.
      • Only fully informed and warrantied productive voluntary exchange free of imposition of costs upon the interests of other members of the group by externality is moral.
      • Any transfer (GOOD = VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTION)

    The only ethical and moral acquisition is one in which one either homesteads an interest by act of transformation (investment), or obtains that interest by productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange, where any external, involuntary transfers (externalities) are not unproductive (losses).

    Reproductive Competition; Where;
      • Man acts in furtherance of his reproductive strategy.
      • Male and Female reproductive strategies are in conflict.
      • The Female seeks to breed where it benefits her lineage; to force the cost of her offspring on the tribe through moral hazard; to further her offspring regardless of merit; to generalize to preserve adaptability to changing group dynamics; to preserve soft her soft-power by seeking safety in consensus, non conflict, and numbers, at the expense of Male interests. To limit accumulated cellular damage on behalf of the herd; To ostracize (kill) competitors through endless  reputation destruction; As such Females act to produce sufficient equality to reduce conflict. This consists in the Herd strategy and Instincts.
      • The Male seeks to breed impulsively wherever it does not harm his lineage; to use violence most frequently in defense of access to a female; to preserve hard power by creating a tribe capable of resisting dominance by other Males at the expense of Female interests; to specialize in the group at the cost of adaptability to changes in group dynamics; to seek safety in the company of a hierarchy of men capable of coordinating (hunting) by similar interests; to demonstrate hierarchy and loyalty; to absorb accumulated cellular damage on behalf of the females and children. As such Males act meritocratically;  This consists in the Pack strategy and Instincts.
      • Males and Females overlap in their uses of each other’s reproductive strategies, due to variations in dimorphism and reverse dimorphism present under evolutionary neoteny.
      • Without limits to both Male and Female behavior in favor of their strategies, the compromise between the strategies fails, and the extremes of each force costs upon the other.
      • Men evolved degrees of pairing-off in multiple relations, serial relations, and monogamy;  and degrees of ‘cheating’ from frequent to infrequent, as is in their ability and interest.
      • The institution of marriage of increasing length in response to the increase in productive capital under control of the family, produced an Equilibrium under which all do the best they can without imposing harm upon others, at the expense of  producing an optimum for any.

    Hierarchies must form to produce decidability, and always and everywhere form because the Pareto law (power law) is required to organize the voluntary organization of the suite of markets we call society: association, cooperation, production, reproduction, commons, and polities.  The costs of organizing people involuntarily rise rapidly with the number, and availability of choices; can only be applied to relatively simple projects; and requires continuous monitoring of the people for defection, escape, corruption, and black markets.  The costs of producing markets using voluntary cooperation requires only the suppression of defectors, which in turn causes the polity to self police defectors.

    AND; Coercion; Where; There exist only three means of coercing other humans to cooperate with on one means or end vs cooperate with others on different means or ends.

        2. Force: Military, Police, Law (or murder, violence, theft)
        3. Undermining: Ostracization, Gossip, Religion, Education, Propaganda (reputation destruction, deprivation of opportunity, information, deception)
      • Man Evolves classes we call ‘elites’ to specialize in each of these means of coercion.
      • The dominance of one group of specialists over another is historical and demographic.
      • Elites are necessary for decidability in coordination.
      • Man follows elites …..
    These three means of coercion can be used to construct three vertical axis of class specialization: coercion by force (conservatism/masculine), coercion by gossip (progressivism/feminine), coercion by remuneration (libertarianism/neutral masculine).

    Definition

    |Differences|Human Species (Macro Races) >  Major Races (subspecies) > Races > Tribes > Clans > Classes > Families > Sexes > Individuals >  Stage of Development (age) > Traits >   Knowledge > Skills 

    Where;

    The influential differences between races are due to (a) degree of neoteny due to climate, (b) size of the underclass due to both climate and means of production, (c) distribution of male and female biases (traits) between the genders in the group; and (d) the norms, traditions, customs, formal and informal institutions that were necessary for those traits in that distribution in that region.

    Where;

    Meaningful Variation in the Human Species is limited to the following Traits:

    1 – Degree of Neoteny (Asian, white, Indian, Iranic, Semitic, Pacific, African – testosterone levels, in that order)

    2 – Rate and Depth of Maturity. (Same as above)

    3 – Size of the Underclass through reproductive suppression and upward redistribution. (IQ levels and beneficial personality traits.)

    4 – Distribution of Gender Traits (emphasis vs reversal) both morphological, intuitive, cognitive, and behavioral.

    Including:

    1 – Distribution of Moral Intuition between female herd and male pack, because of distribution of Gender Traits.

    2 – Distribution of Personality Traits in the group of which Intelligence and Industriousness matters for both genders, and negative-agreeableness (decisiveness) matters for males.

    3 – Distribution of Cognitive Bias between female herd and male pack.

    (Note: AFAIK personality traits correspond to both stages of the prey drive, the modification of the prey drive for sex role, and our reward systems that produce the effects.)

    5 – Distribution of Age and Generations. (And cyclical bias of generations)

    6 – Group evolutionary Strategy using Gender Traits (Semitic maternal, Asian paternal, Western compromise). Including the manners, ethics, morals, norms, traditions, institutions public and private, and especially method of decidability, consequential logic, grammar, and vocabulary by which all such habits are expressed.

    Therefore;

    Human groups differ substantially in their distributions on these axis.

    Human variation produces different demands from the markets for association, cooperation, production, reproduction, and the production of commons.

    Political orders can favor kin or corporation, equality or meritocracy, with the optimum order being kin meritocracy, which will produce equality by externality of kin selection.

    The only reason to refrain from conquest, decimation, genocide is reciprocity under nation states.  And the justification of conquest, rule, decimation and genocide is the export of costs of domestication or failures of domestication upon others.

    THEREFORE;

    Heterogeneity – Settled – Diversity is a bad

    Where;

    ( … )

    (Pay your own costs of domestication)

    AND; Ethnocentrism – Settled

    1 – Ethnocentrism is the optimum group evolutionary strategy if for no other reason than reciprocal trust,  investment and insurance without sacrifice to kin selection. There is no competitor to it, whatsoever. People are more gregarious to their own, and more redistributive, with less fear of political competition, because all competition is internal and by class or faction rather than kin group. The problem has traditionally been that many ethic groups were not able to concentrate sufficient capital to create self governance, or had to be captured to prevent capture by others, or were of sufficient hazard to neighbors they were ruled.  (The exception is people lower on the ladder who look for allies against their betters, and to have ‘someone below them’ which appears very important to humans.)

    2 – Ethnocentrism eliminates race and tribe conflict in the suppression of expansion of underclasses through soft eugenics (paying the unproductive not to have children). There is no value in internal competitors. none.

    ( … )

    The result of these conditions, is that man seeks Agency, within the limits of his abilities, frustrations and comforts, with only so much reciprocity as he can get away with paying the costs of.

    I’m your huckleberry. Humans possess agency. Animals do not. If I say one lacks agency, it means one is insufficiently human to enter into rational debate, reason, calculation, and computation. How is it that the inverse, as you suggest – which is the descent into animal instinct – and the abandonment of agency and reason somehow human instead of animal? Or are you saying that those who possess agency and reason are post-, or super-human? ( PS: I’ve dominated in everything I’ve tried. what have you accomplished other than avoidance of success? 😉 )

    ON THE DEATH PENALTY

    Reposted by @[100015734649811:2048:Ryan Williams]

    —“The problem with the modern state is not that it uses the death penalty so much, but rather that it uses it far too little. Property in toto serves as a useful metric for what crimes merit the death penalty. if you use fraud, deceit, or some other non reciprocal criminal means of enriching yourself at the expense of the commons above some arbitrary number, say 5x the average lifetime taxes paid by an average taxpayer, you should face execution.

    Under such a scheme, nearly every tech monopolist, the Walton family, Bezos, any of the financial elite, nearly every politician and most high ranking bureaucrats would be liable for death. NYT editors lie in the newspapers and it costs 5x the taxes paid of average worker? Boom. no more problem with lying editors at the NYT.

    The whole West faces the double problem of a violent, dependent underclass and a parasitical, exploitative oligarchy controlling business and politics. Such measures might seem unduly harsh, but they are necessary. Brazil shows why they must be implemented, Singapore shows that they work.”—-
