RE: What is "Voluntary Japan"? (Rough vision for building a Voluntaryist community in Japan)
Love is the highest law, which is, in its essence, an empathic recognition in others of the axiomatic, immutable, objective reality of individual self-ownership, and the holding of life itself as the ultimate value.
Oh, I hope not.
Love: The Greatest Marketing Trick of All Time
That is not how I defined love, to be fair. Not speaking of magazine cover "romantic love" here.
Exactly my point why "Love" should not be included in your "rules". Everyone defines it differently.
I stated pretty clearly how I define it, and as per my definition, a minimally violent society is objectively not even a possibility without it.
Things are scarce, thus people have conflict over scarce things, thus a universalizable grundnorm is needed. The only universalizable grundnorm that holds life as a value is a property ethic based on reality, i.e. individual self-ownership.
By that logic (that if people have different definitions of things the concepts are meaningless) nothing can ever stand, and one is rendered a nihilist, which is a silly and self-contradictory position.
i meant. How you define "love". Simply, much like God, one has their own special heresy. Misunderstanding at some point is bound to happen.
Sure. Misunderstanding is part of life. However, don't aggress against non-agressors is pretty damn easy to understand. Nobody is claiming a blueprint for utopia, just a society based on reality, and not coercive destruction.
What if someone owns a resource that results to some people's livelihood regressing?
Coercion is also not a clean-cut term for most people.
It is pretty clean cut for most. Most of us live without and avoid it every day.
