Natural Law Begins With What We Don’t Know

Foundations for a Fantasy‑Free View of Life

Natural law begins by understanding and internalizing what we don’t know. We will never know these things, and that fact itself is part of the law we live under.

Why are we here? Plain and simple, we just don’t know. Explanations abound. Some are religious, some are scientific, some are poetic. Still, no one knows.

We don’t know the origin of life. Some say God. Some say that life began when dead chemicals miraculously combined in such a way that life generated itself. The theories are many. The facts are few. We just don’t know.

Starting With What We Don’t Know

By James Quillian – Economist, Political Analyst, Teacher of Natural Law

I teach natural law from a simple place: we start by admitting what we don’t know.

However, looking at these numbers is like looking at a mirage. Quantitative analysis—the practice of measuring the world solely through spreadsheets—is right only about 25% of the time. Why? Because it ignores the Natural Law of cause and effect.

Forecasts are inherently biased toward the status quo. They assume that because a corporation is large, it is stable.
