@St_Rev but presumably is still enforced by bailiffs or something?

@St_Rev@drethelin What about appeals? I stole your couch & then my family bribed the judge, say. -
@simplic10@drethelin Typically there's a complex web of duties and property rights, lawbreaking (defection) risks property & other rights. -
@St_Rev these don't seem to scale well for modern civilizations. -
@drethelin You think the modern model where legislators think their job is to *produce* new law like it was a commodity scales? -
@St_Rev@drethelin Well, yes, it does scale, even if that's its only advantage. -
@simplic10@drethelin National debt says otherwise. -
@St_Rev@drethelin I replied to the wrong one of your tweets here. Agree about legislators, was referring to criminal & civil law ~scaling. -
@simplic10@drethelin Common law, civil law, Sharia law, Chinese law are distinct, have different roots, all 'work' in modern civ. - 3 more replies

@St_Rev@drethelin@simplic10 rich family still has defacto protection from laws though -
@Johnwbh@drethelin@simplic10 System enforces liability via weregeld & other property rights. Lawbreakers risk their wealth. -
@St_Rev@drethelin@simplic10 I mean you can afford lots more blood money if you are already rich, so relative cost of murder lower -
@Johnwbh@drethelin@simplic10 Lower, not zero tho
