[M]oral judgement is not open to question any more than mathematical formulae are open to question. Either equations balance, and proofs can be constructed or they cannot. Either fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange, free of externality was performed, or it was not. And in both cases, either information exists sufficient for decidability, or it does not. But no questions are undecidable if the information is present.

When asked how anyone could possibly rule in safety without the protection of a bodyguard, Agasiclese, King of Sparta said, “If one rules his subjects as fathers rule their sons.”

I don’t like making people feel bad. I have a problem coercing people. I have a problem enslaving people. I have a problem hurting people. I have a problem torturing people. But I have no problem at all killing people – in fact, we do too little of it. There is no excuse for causing human pain and suffering – and anyone who engages in it is a threat to all of us. And that is the only reason to eschew the imposition of suffering – because of what it means about our own people. But in competition and conflict, killing people – and as many of them possible – is the necessary, right, just, and moral thing to do. Eliminating a problem and reveling in the suffering of others, are two different things. Killing people, and often a lot of them, is merely solving a problem. And better yet, if they know that is your position you will be much less likely to have to engage in it. So the commitment to killing people, and a lot of them, albeit without causing suffering, is the best means of ensuring one does not have to.
Punish the wicked.

Marriage with legal requirement for commitment but without legal requirement for sex is unequal representation. It’s not that legal requirement for sex is necessarily the right answer. The right answer is to abandon legal requirement for commitment and financial support.
(And yeah, my rather absurd costs for this are constantly on my mind.)

Speak truthfully;
Do nothing unto others
… to impose a cost upon them;
Require the same of others; and,
Mete out justice if others do not.
This is not a difficult proposition.
It is a very simple general rule.
But it requires a man to know:
… how to speak truthfully,
… how not to impose costs unto others,
… and to have the ability to hold a jury, and;
… have the strength and will to mete out justice.
