《Project from December 2019》LFSA - Chapter 5.5 (04.02.2022)

When enough people gather into a society, people become entitled and seek to regulate you. This kind of entitlement can lead to violence. An unknown person immediately beating any unknown child on sight is violence. The child is a victim. The problem is when a policeman beats up a thief and when a thief beats up a policeman. You don’t know who the victim is. It is more complex than black or white.
***
Exploitation is human nature. Entropy and probability are potential disadvantages. The best relationship is therefore a mutually beneficial relationship.
Many people believe that by hiding what they consider as problematic away, they will preserve the best in presumably less problematic people. Denying heaven, people dream of heaven’s authority. Denying the tyrannic morality, people dream of a transfigured tablet to support their morality.
Guards among guards, dependent on each other. In truth, there is no one to guard morality itself.
Legislation makes ‘freedom as a right’ tenable. Legislation makes the thief punishable. Legislation is power. ‘Freedom as a right’ is mercantilism, since mercantilism is less likely to promote violence, compared to free-for-all anarchy. Legislation makes this mercantilism tenable. We come back to the notion that the best relationship is a mutually beneficial relationship.
When a poor guy bumps into the wrong person, and when he is in violation of a stupid crime, he might be unable to pay for the fine. Therefore, the question of the guard of morality comes up.
