The Less Laws There Are, the Better

(1) The less laws there are, the more free we are.
(2) The more free we are, the better.


Therefore, (3) The less laws there are, the better.

Is there a name for this legal philosophy? If so, what is it? It seems it’s best for a government to maximize its peoples’ freedom by having as few laws as possible.

Yes, Idiocracy.

You strike a pragmatic balance between that and fascism/chinese legalism. Rational and limited laws.

Passing laws on prohibiting stupid shit stops a lot of retarded, dangerous stuff from happening… like safeguard regulations on nuclear reactors.

Note how close the landscape of Idiocracy matches Joker’s apocalyptic Anarchist Nihilist Dysutopia. He desires it, for only by making everyone retarded and weak does he have a competitive advantage in the world. Anarchy = Idiocracy.

Post those disaster picks again Joker your always advocating for, we can compare.

I often think that we don’t know what freedom is as we often equate freedom with unrestrained/unlimited choice.

Freedom to be vs. Freedom to do.

That should be, The fewer laws there are, the better.

Rights vs. Responsibilities

Eh. If there was only one law, “Do what the king tells you”, that wouldn’t be very good.

Unless the king was a really nice guy.

Hey grammar-Nazi wannabe, push-off, that’s my job. :smiley:

A Monolaw has been implemented in the past and it seems to make common sense.

You need as many laws as there are categories presenting themselves. That’s what law is – like the scales and the sword of justice; the sword of justice carves the distinctions manifesting category, and its proper utility denotes balance.

The alternative isn’t less laws, its less thought going into the matter, like lynch-mob mentality.

Zero laws and no government whatsoever all the better life becomes. :stuck_out_tongue:

no people just go crazy.

we saw in the balkans war that ordinary people can become childkillers, so it is not law which stops us being free, it is what stops us being slaves or animals.

Wonder where Cezar/Historyboy has run off to?

He worked frontline intelligence in that war, as a scout.

“That government is best which governs least” – Henry David Thoreau\

but anybody understanding social programing will choose a “no ruler”.

war is a direct consequence of the law…or lets debate the zika virus and the authorities spraying cities with anti-mosquito TOXIC substances like NALED: nospray.org/naled-insecticide-fact-sheet/
Saving from being slaves or animals?? Is being killed softly a sign of being civilized? 8-[

And immortal.

Immortality would be a plus yes.

I’d say we’d need one or two laws, like No prostitutes should be allowed to be regular prostitutes if they have STDs…They have to be special prostitutes that are only allowed to have sex with people that have the same STDs…

Far as the Turd shpeal goes, he is full of beans…Do you know even the FBI says america has too many laws…america has over 1 million laws, far too many…FBI said it would take more than 1000 years if you read 500 pages a week, to read all the laws…

When even the law makers don’t know the laws, it is nothing but tyranny…
