RE: All Aboard The Utopianwagon
you can't APPLY ZAP...in the sense that you can't force someone else to do it.
That would be initiation of force...
ZAP is not something you DO...it's something you Do NOT do.
so..you can either be an aggressor...or not.
up to you.
The ZAP is shown to be pretty much a shallow principle. When limited to actual physical force, it’s superseded and made obsolete by moral systems which can explain when force is justified or not. When extended to concepts which are not immediately intuitive, its subjective nature quickly devolves it to shouting matches which can only be settled by a homogeneous system of courts and enforcement agencies. A de-facto state.
To me, when someone explains that according to the NAP, this or that is wrong, they mostly sound like “This or that is wrong, because I say so.”
I like shallow principles. They are easy to understand. Easy to apply I've noticed that DEEP principles tend to cause drowning.
