This is my idea of authority only of its cause and some of their external and internal effects. I was wondering if someone can look over it and give their opinions on what I wrote. This is only a rough draft and not the actual paper, so everything I have written are key points of what I have observed.
@Mind,
...whatever you are claiming you need to justify it step by step...so far you have n´t presented a sketch of a tentative of justification...
...but still I think I can tell you something about authority...authority like gravity it is a matter of fact and not a matter of will or moral justification...moral justification is only required for authority if it is proven morality is required...so far as I can tell the weight of my body does not require gravity having any kind of moral justification and nevertheless I am authoritatively compelled to deal with it...
@Mind,
I couldn't make up or down of what you are talking about.
