    By Bill Joslin

    —“The series of values: Life, Liberty, and Property reflect a series of steady states in time:

    1) Life: Myself in the moment (self-ownership)

    2) Liberty: My life in the future

    3) Property: The results of my life in the past

    Using Properarianism’s Sovereignty, Testimonialism, and Propertarianism, we now have an operational triad which less poetically and more existentially accounts for Locke’s Life, Liberty, and Property.

    1) Life – Sovereignty (far more robust term, which can be demonstrated versus proclaimed via appeals to morality

    2) Liberty – Testimonialism (effective future action in applying our efforts and deciding exchanges toward productive ends)

    3) Property – Propertarianism: Property in toto (expanded and demonstrated definition of property)

    We’ve improved upon Life, Liberty, and Property”—

    Bill – I have an intuition that we could express this in relation to OTHERS (as a law of cooperation) rather than of self (as an appeal for liberty from the state, as Locke was doing)

    What do soverignty, testimony, and property cause us to grant for others in exchange for what? Then how do we tie that back to myself, and ourselves, my life and our lives, my property and our property?

    Q&A: DEFINE ‘AGENCY’

    —“CURT: Could you point me to any of your existing writing that develops your use of the term ‘agency’? I’m thinking more in legal terms (agent/agency), and wondering if that understanding is sufficient or if you have something different in mind.”— Andrew

    It’s not complicated. It’s:

    **agency is the capacity for human beings to make choices**

    Think of it as a soft version of ‘free will’.

    When I use the term, and when most of us use it in the context of different abilities, we refer largely to the delta between fully deliberate, fully rational, fully informed, unbiased, decision making.

    Conversely, a lack of agency occurs as various impulses, cognitive biases, disinformation, and error accumulate until the person in question is no longer what we consider reasonable or sentient.

    So when we say ‘women lack agency’ we are referring to the impulses that affect them because of their reproductive roles, which bias them against the tribe (males), and limit their decision making in matters of the tribe (politics).

    (it is very hard for women to think clearly compared to men unless it is about a subject that is reproductively important for a woman and her offspring survival. In this sense most women are political equivalent of color-blind, in the same way that most men are nesting-blind, or empathically blind. The analogy that a woman’s mind is like a version of Windows that keeps popping up modal dialogs sporadically and constantly. For men. We open a window and we don’t see another one until we open another one and close this one. We also think about a very small subset of (high risk) problems and women do exactly the opposite: think about a host of low risk problems. Why? we hunt.They take care of children. I can hunt next week. Children must be taken care of right now and today. it’s not complicated.)

    (didn’t think I’d write that kinda’ thing, huh? Truth is what it is. It’s what we do with the truth that demonstrates whether we are moral or immoral men. A man with no knowledge of immorality cannot claim he is a moral man – he lacks the choice. It is by acknoweldgeing the costs of moral actions that we demonstrate we are moral men rather than mere animals.)

    ( Under Testimonialism, Propertarianism and Sovereignty, soros is guilty of major crimes. First for violating the requirement for productivity, second for violating the requirement for fully informed voluntary exchange, third for violating the demand for markets in everything, and fourth and most seriously, for attempts to alter the only government that forces anything close to natural law: ours. )

    GOODS, SERVICES, AND INFORMATION: SPEECH IS JUST ANOTHER PRODUCT BROUGHT TO MARKET FOR PROFIT.

    —“If you derive monetary gain from so-called free speech, including the spoken word, text, graphics, audio, videos, cinema, and theatre – then you can be held to the same standard as any other profession is held to.” — JP Miller

    Exactly. If you derive money from your speech then you are using the market – and if using the market, we can demand you warranty your words like any other good, service, or information.
