not even

and that is important as it would ruin your assets

that is bascially how they sued each other

for damages

But there’s no effective check against the abuses of power

AbUSes of PoWer

made up thing

power is power

So you don’t think anyone can be arbitrary or capricious with their position?

they totally can

and it will lead to their assets decreasing or going away entirly

while others who dont do that take them over

natural selection

of societies

Sorry you haven’t convinced me

fair

are you an egalitarian at heart?

Not really

in that case a better place to start is there

well

what do you think of this proposition

everyone has innate equal human value

‘Seed money’ to use your vocabulary

not gonna lie i laughed out loud

Just ripping on ancap stuff, keep going

no but for real

do you agree with that statement

"everyone has innate equal human value"

Nope you changed it

Innate value yes, equal value no

explain you lost me

okay

do you believe some people are more valuable than others

Define valuable

The situation in which a person or tool finds themselves drastically changes its value

truely is hard to define. i usually argue with egalitarians who say something like that as well. i dont think value truly exists but that comparissions can be made in certain aspects. some people produce more profit than others. some are taller than others, some can swim faster than others, ect ect.

it really is the egalitarian that has the issues of value

i of course disagree with that statement because value is subjective and undefined as well

Jumping high and swimming faster are well and good, but not in selecting for leadership or worth of a citizen by itself

If I remember my readings properly, profit is generated between mutually consenting parties with a net benefit for both

i would approach better by their ability to climb the ladder, i understand that is pretty machivellian of me, but still, it is something. it is one of the things why profit is such a good indicator for many things.

Applying this to a medieval monarch, what profit do they generate without delegating to the serfs?
