IAN: Well said, indeed, the property protocol is the conspiracy of life
and of living. Certain sets of property rules consistently prove to yield
certain sets of material outcomes, for specific reasons that can be
ascertained. Allocation of resources by consumer choice, by the voice
of the people, founded upon the theory and application of private
property, contract law, and tort liability consistently prove to
yield maximal social outcomes simply because each individual is
compelled to serve the consumer, the people, or suffer material
privations. Privations which would not exceed those suffered had
the individual chosen to forgo human association altogether, and
therefore such privations cannot be measured as an initiation of harm.
