Applying the 3L formula

• The analysis isn’t complicated. The formula works even for yet unknown future issues.
• First, identify the property owner, then ascertain whether the person seeking to exercise control over that property is the owner. If the attempt to control another’s property amounts to aggressing, the Legal Principle is breached.

Communicating the formula

• Most objections to 3L stem from support for aggressing against others as a means to achieve a preferred goal. These people generally admit they do not want to be aggressed against by others. This concession is a good starting point to discuss their insistence on aggressing against others.
• Allowing local communities to decide their own reasonable construction of the Legal Principle for complex topics resolves most of these issues.
• The pace and shape of the transition plan is not prescribed, but cannot be rushed. Allowing local communities to experiment will likely demonstrate the most effective ways.
• 3L is not offering a utopia, and we don’t even expect to achieve our goal of ‘global peace’, because peace itself is a continuum, not an absolute. But, for those that value freedom, peace and prosperity, the question is whether Live and Let Live Movement offers something better than what we have now.
• All politics can be reduced to two positions: 1: Those advocating for aggressing. 2. Those not advocating for aggressing. When we gain clarity on this we can stop the cycle of aggressing.
