Is there a metacontrarian cluster of rationalist sharia followers yet? What's the countdown if not?
@drethelin There's actually a good one. V. short: rule of law > rule of man. Sharia is culturally legitimate resistance to strongman rule.

@St_Rev I agree with you except for the ways in which it enshrines strongmen. How bad do laws need to get before they're worse than tyrants? -
@drethelin ...the Daoist ideal of the perfect emperor, who sits and does nothing. Day to day law is administered by judges and scholars. -
@St_Rev are you pro or anti lawyer? -
@drethelin I am a pro-law anarchist/kritarchist. Actually existing law sucks so actually existing lawyering sucks. -
@St_Rev I know you don't mean it that way but usually anarchy is against the rule of law. Also the wiki page on kritarchy is woeful -
@drethelin Most anarchists are idiots. Traditional English common law was an anti-authoritarian institution. -
@St_Rev so are most nonanarchists. So the word will continue to be meant and understood idiotically -
@drethelin Yep. Whatcha gonna do?
