  • Rational Self Interest

    Apr 09, 2017 6:01am RATIONAL SELF INTEREST by John Dow Assuming self-interest is rational, by punishing all non-reciprocating choices via law, acting in group interest becomes rational. I don’t care if you reciprocate by rational self-interest or as a result of high prosociality, as long as you reciprocate. Assuming the maximization of group fitness has higher potential yields to individual fitness than any other factor, and assuming the maximization of individual fitness is desired, this is rational self-interest.

    The people who matter?

    When it comes time for war – the war to demand restoration of Natural Law, or to wreak heady murder in its stead – will you fight with me brother?

    The rest is just prattle of schoolgirls.

    ***If you cannot speak truthfully and with warranty, you may not speak it in the commons. For the commons is not under your ownership. It is something we share. And we will not allow you to destroy the works of nature: land, water, air, or the works of man: life, capital, institutions, and information. And therefore we shall demand your warranty of information, just as we demand that of your services, products, and physical actions.***

    *I am a man. I have violence in me. I have wrath in me. I just own them. They do not own me.*

    I would wish all my brothers the same. Time is but an asset that we can spend or multiply. Violence is your first wealth. With violence we construct the possibility of all other forms of wealth. But to do so, we must own our violence, and own our wrath, and employ them only when producing more wealth than we consume with the exercise of our violence, our wrath, and our heady murder.

    When we have made more time, more wealth, more numbers with our violence, our wrath, and our heady murder, we have earned our joy in spending our violence on that which produces the greatest returns.

    ***Love thyself, love thy kin, then thy neighbor, then mankind.

    Because it is through this love we redistribute and bear the costs of persistence, and through constraint of our own against the parasitism upon others that we bear the costs of transcendence.***

  • It’s not difficult. a) if they don’t impose costs on you, yours, or your commons

    It’s not difficult. a) if they don’t impose costs on you, yours, or your commons do the same. b) if they conduct productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchanges with you, yours, and your commons, do the same. c) if they are willing to conduct productive fully informed, warrantied voluntary exchanges with you but can’t, then impose rule of law for them as an investment, so that they can. d) if they impose ANY unwanted costs on you, yours, or your commons, then kill, rape, pillage, enslave and destroy them. No mercy.

  • Natural Law

    If we define Moral Intuitions as the reactions we feel in response to our thoughts and actions and those of others. If we define Normative Morality as the reactions we feel given  for methods of decidability given some set of assumptions. If we define philosophy (positive and literary) as the search for methods of decidability within a domain of preference, and If we define truth  (negative and descriptive) as the search for methods of decidability across all domains regardless of preference. Then: We find that personal moral intuition is the product of our genes, and our experiential development. And it varies greatly from individual to individual. We find that existing normative morality is the product of evolutionary accident and we learn it through experience and observation – although it does vary a little from individual to individual within groups, and varies widely between groups. We find that positive or literary philosophy(fiction or philosophy) informs, suggests opportunities, and justifies preferences for the purpose of forming cooperation and alliances between individuals and groups. We find that negative or juridical philosophy(truth or law) decides, states limits, and discounts preferences, for the purpose of resolving conflicts between individuals and groups. We find that juridical philosophy attempts to explain the common law, without necessarily succeeding at doing so.  But that the transformation of juridical philosophy to juridical science is eminently possible – we just may not like what we learn, any more than we learned in each previous reformation of our thinking. Natural Law (propertarianism), is a negative, descriptive, juridical science, not a fictional literature. It is not a rational philosophy limited to internal correspondence. Its not a moral norm. Nor is it necessarily a moral intuition that all would agree to. It is the record of the arguments by which we decide conflicts over investments we have made, and protect.  And from these records we can identify a very simple single law – non imposition of costs upon anything whatsoever that others have invested in producing whether informational, behavioral, material, or institutional. And from those observations we may discover general rules. Just as in any other science. And there is only one of them.
