NO I AM NOT GOING TO RUSH. PROPERTARIANISM IS DONE WHEN ITS DONE -- AND ITS DONE WHEN ITS BULLETPROOF. I did more, first, faster, than anyone else has. Thats good enough for me. And while encouragement is helpful, impatience is not. I already work pretty much around the clock, and there are no shortcuts. Propertarianism is not an ideology - its a logic. I have reduced law to that which is decidable or not. I am pretty much done with it. All up. But the fact that it would take a dozen philosophers from mathematics, logic, economics, politics, law, to carry the conversation means that it is not in a condition where a college graduate in a STEM field can argue it after studying it. Until I get there it is not done. If you are lucky enough to intuit that truthful speech is the single most important virtue in creating a high trust polity with high economic velocity capable of holding first place in world economic competition, then propertarianism will make sense to you. If you do not, then you will need more persuasion. It is all well and good that we have interested laymen here. And I am very excited that Eli and others can construct sentimentally appealing variants on these themes (because it is not my forte). Or that Michael Philip has internalized the scientific ethos, and is able to apply it as a general rule. Or the dozen or so others that can already use fragments of propertarianism. But you know, this is serious work - and all but a fragment of libertarian philosophy is not - and I have serious work to do. So if you can tell me the importance of: 1) the problem of decidability and the axiom of choice in math, and why this question has been a problem. 2) the problem of construction in law, and how the progressive rewrote the constitution. 3) why rule of law under common (organic) law is the only means of producing liberty. 4) the minimum suppression of immoral and unethical action necessary to eliminate sufficient demand for the state, that rule of law is possible - and how would you prove it. 5) why free speech is an intrinsic good, rather than truthful speech is an intrinsic good. 6) why some polities can hold territory, and why some cannot. 7) The differences between the anglo, german and german-jewish enlightenment programs, and why the anglo program was a threat to the german and jewish group evolutionary strategy. 8) Why critique is a successful means of lying, and why the cosmopolitans invented it, and why the germans had to invent idealism. Then you probably can participate in criticism. Because thats sort of the minimum bar.
