These are candidates only, they are intended to foster focused discussion.
Fundamental Theorem of Cliology
- Who get's to make the choices?
- What are the permissible choices?
- The first two are auto-catalytic
Definition of Society
- The cornerstones of any society are
- toleration
- self-defence
- A set of rules, codified or not, and expectations,
expressed or not, which regulate both the individual
and inter-personal activities of same
- Societies may be radically different in content and
yet share the same geography
- The statics and dynamics of a society are governed by
the physics of reality and the psychology of the
individual (and it's absolute range)
- The expectations of societies can be in direct opposition
- Violence does not ensue from opposition but from lack
of toleration of opposition
- This applies to all levels of societies and seems to be
psychology independent (in other words, all life
seems to follow it)
- As a result, stability can be looked upon as a measure
of tolerance
Definition of 'crime'
- Any act which harms a person, their property, or breaks
a public trust without consent
- What is a 'public trust'?
- A contract entered voluntarily (at the point one
questions the compliance but complies they have
consented - no expectation of continued consent
is implied) to provide service to the community or
use a public resource
- What is a 'public resource'?
- A resource which is common to all and is required for
basic individual survival or social operations
Fundamental Axiom of Law
- The codification of social rules, commonly called
'rule of law', is an extension of the right to
self-defence
- A defining characteristic of any society is to whom the
'right' falls to (ie some mix of individual or
group)
- A fundamental defining character is whether the rights
of society extend from the individual, or rather
the rights of the individual stem from the population
Definition of Civil Liberty
- The ability to make 'a choice' with respect to individual
or classes of decisions
- This is the primary defining character of any human
society or relationship
