He didn't think the answer was obvious. He noticed that everyone just took it for granted and that it was never even put up for debate, anywhere, ever in history.

No, the record would presumably be reflected in some early king's accounts, or some mythical founding legend, a religious text or something of that sort. Instead it looks like English people were content to just act like cavemen, even after they formed governments and legislatures.

Yeah, that's what organically developed rules and traditions look like. But there has been constant debate over the details and what it should look like.

I recall the first several paragraphs of the Magna Carta are about inheritance, eg. how long you have to wait before kicking a widow out of her dead husband's house.

Laws change all the time though. A king comes to power and decides everyone should start driving on the other side of the road, or that women should be allowed to divorce their husbands, and it provokes controversy. At some point, the controversy gets settled through enactment of law.

That didn't happen with laws on inheritance though. The laws got written, but there's no record of any debate. No kings tried to shake things up and there were no popular movements against it. It looks like lawmakers were simply codifying what was already established custom. We tweaked the margins but that's it.

because the natural state of things is that people pass their shit to their kids or the strongest guy takes what he wants.

a system where everything escheats back to the state and is fairly redistributed is extraordinarily complicated even today which is why communism and socialism and tons of other systems designed to solve weath inequality have failed.

The reason we added "just compensation" to the Fifth Amendment, and the reason it's called an "amendment," is because it was already taken for granted that the government can seize your property. It was so taken-for-granted that it was not even listed among the powers of government in the US Constitution. Yetm people still felt compelled to put limits on it. The real history of "eminent domain" goes back to the late neolithic. Locke blinds Americans to this.

The reasons for this seem pretty functional, partly because the way the king keeps his job is my making powerful people happy and partly simply not killing the golden goose. The drive to provide for your children is so strong that parents will resent a regime that prevents them from doing it, and do everything possible to circumvent it (transfer late in life, have children on the title of their properties, etc.). The wealthy are by definition powerful, so this is a great way to anger people who can start the revolution. BUT, even if you succeed, you've destroyed the incentive for your most productive citizens to produce. Once they have enough money for themselves, they'll just soft quit. It's better to have them toil to make the kingdom wealthier even if you only get some of it, rather than to try to take it all and get nothing. If I wasn't building wealth for my children to have some day, I already would have clocked out of the faggot rat race.

I don't understand the objection, then. Most people naturally want to leave things to their children, so absent a coercive/powerful state, then that's what happens. When we eventually did get stationary bandits, even they didn't want to fuck with this deep instinct. Almost all animal species instinctively provide for their children, not understanding that humans do the same obtuse.

i think many would want to, it's just extraordinarily difficult to create a system that operates fairly in perletuity.

the temptation for the people administering the system to enrich their own people (see your human nature point) is hard to create checks and balances against. our own system was built explictly to prevent an aristocracy by leaving the people power and its still rife with grift and patronage.

Indeed, Locke thought it would be wasteful if someone hunted some game, harvested the meat, then died before he was able to consume it. That person would be invading his neighbor's share, albeit unwittingly. If his kids eat the leftover meat however, nothing is wasted.

RSF's daddy can't tell his clients to hire RSF and pay him to be their lawyer (lmao). So why does society let RSF inherit money his daddy made from those same clients?

He wrote in English, so he was easy for proles to pick up and read. Ironically he only wrote in English because he couldn't write in Latin (or German, or French). He's not respected outside the Anglosphere.

1/3 of the First Treatise consists of Locke trying unravel the genealogy of Hebrew kings. He never cites the New Testament even once, but do a word search for "Esau" and see what comes up.

this is pretty low IQ of Locke, the family unit is the basic form of any society, the earliest tribes that eventually grew into something more were communal but they were also all related, for tribes to cooperate they have to be assured that resources will continue to be split in a roughly fair manner and passing things down the children is a fucking perfect way to do that when your other option is letting some dood who doesn't know you decide what happens, it's what seperates us from lions who kill the young of any strong male after he dies

Then there should be legends of great kings or gods commanding that property be inherited. Somehow we have religious texts laying down every single law except this one. Furthermore this law is universal throughout place and time.

it precedes the development of either religions or kings, did you even read my poast? it is so foundational that it need not be codified, trying to steal a man's property from his children justifies taking you out back and slitting your throat

That's circular reasoning. Lots of things that were common in paleolithic times are illegal now, including many local customs relating to sexual reproduction. We've debated pretty much everything except this.

it isn't circular, I didn't say it was some logical necessity that could only ever be one way, but given incentives that exist in the real world this is a very obvious way for things to shake out, as evidenced by the fact that they did indeed work out exactly that way

If we held a referendum today on how Musk's money should be distributed after he dies, which side would win the popular vote?

1. Give Musk's money to his children

2. Divide up Musk's fortune and cut a check to every individual American

we hold that referendum all the time except we have spent a few thousand years developing the rule of law so the question would be whether a generally applicable law should be put in place that would effect Musk in this manner and the answer is no, people do not support that because they have kids and want them to get their stuff, as they have always wanted

That's not even remotely close to my proposed referendum. Surely there's been at least one society where people voted to seize all the assets from some oligarch after he dies and redistribute them to the people.

Wrong again, faggotass.

"After 1923, inheritance of property apparently became firmly entrenched, and the restrictions on its scope have been progressively reduced with each amendment. Thus protection by law of "the right; of inheritance in personal ownership" was incorporated in the U.S.S.R. 1936 Constitution now in force."

Put it to a nationwide vote right now:

1. Should we keep letting rich people donate their money to their kids after they die, or;

2. Should the government confiscate rich people's wealth after they die, and write annual checks to every American for an equal portion of whatever the IRS confiscated from dead rich people that year?

i'm actually in favor of limiting inheritances in principle, but the fact of the matter is that it's extremely difficult to do in practice

Locke simply made the point that it's never been put to a vote, and therefore we cannot say it's done out of common consent.

It’s perspective bias on Locke’s part. It has been “voted” on by people and governments often throughout history via personal or social choice. It fails to persist because the strategy loses against people and/or societies that engage in it.

Societies that don’t allow inter generational resource transfers were outcompeted by those that do. Within societies that allow transfers, family units that don’t engage in inter generational wealth transfers were placed at a competitive disadvantage vs those that do and were outcompeted.

People and families are more than free to not engage in inheritance, and the experiment has been run innumerable times throughout history; it’s just a losing strategy.
