All interactions are either voluntary or involuntary. Involuntary interactions include rape, theft and coercion. 3L is about aligning the law to permit only voluntary interactions, then using that freedom for the highest good.
You have to choose: do you want to live in a free society based on voluntary interactions, or a coercive society that permits involuntary interactions?
Kindness by coercion will one day seem archaic.
The 3L Philosophy is that all be legally protected to live free and that we use this freedom for the highest benefit.
Freedom is the gate to peace. Peace is the gate to love.
It’s your life to live.
Remember: the future is peace. [3L is remembering our peaceful future]
Live and Let Live poses a question: would you rather live in a peaceful world, or be aggressed against?
‘Live and let live’ means treating others decently, including the essential requirement not to aggress against people.
It is an abuse of power to punish someone for breaking a rule that can’t be remembered by an action that doesn’t harm anyone.
Forced morality is an oxymoron.
Aggressing as a strategy for freedom or peace has been thoroughly tried, has always failed and always will fail.
People don’t like when others boss them around.
3L is completely intolerant of aggressors, but tolerant of everyone else.
Most accept that no individual has the right to aggress even for worthy goals, so how can a person delegate a right they do not have to the government?
Peace is the goal, freedom is the prerequisite, prosperity is the by-product.
The Legal Principle brings ‘power to the people’. The Aspirational Values brings ‘power to the virtuous’
Aim high, fall short, do well
Global community advocating individual choice
The 3L Philosophy deliberately provides the least necessary conditions for peace on Earth, so that all reasonable people find common agreement in this most essential way of coexisting that is urgently needed.
If you think your worthy goals justify aggressing, what objection do you have against those who wish to aggress against you for different goals they find worthy?
Not aggressing against others, even for worthy goals, is the price we pay for a free and peaceful world.
Live and let live; aggress only against aggressors - who started it is key.
Live and let live is hope for the world.
Why ‘fight to be right’ when we can ’live and let live’?
We do not need to convince everyone. Only about 40-45% of those living in the 13 colonies supported the American Revolution. 20% remained loyal to the crown and 40% were ambivalent.
Power to the people, not power to the politicians
Live your best life!
From polarised ‘other’ to ‘sister and brother’
3L celebrates freedom, and uses it wisely.
The Legal Principle is about formal consequences for breaking a universal law that we must not aggress. This [law] is based on the [right] to freedom which itself is based on a [truth]: only you can know your will and act accordingly; you are self-sovereign.
The 3L Movement respects, celebrates and protects the truth that you are self-sovereign. Live and Let Live is an ancient law, newly polished - an ancient Movement, newly ignited.
Freedom exists when competent adults get to decide what to do with their bodies, property and money.
3L is a broad tent. We all hold slightly different opinions, values and preferences. What unites us is the preference for peace, and the understanding that peace requires both the absence of aggressing and the presence of kindness.
3L is about protecting voluntary interactions and outlawing involuntary ones.
We are simply against aggressing.
No-one has the right to aggress.
Once you see it, you can’t un-see it.
Optimize for excellence so the most competent can help the least.
Choose excellence.
If they aren’t imposing their will on us, why should we impose our will on them?
