Me: Excellent post and a must read book. I’m inclined to think that indeed both evolution and self awareness/consciousness itself are quantum phenomenon. In other words the quantum spark of self awareness/consciousness itself whose actions are looking/reaching out to experience/know something and then withdrawing so as to experience something else in a new unit of time results in a new experience if you realize that every next experience…is actually a new experience. And so, evolution is much more likely to occur if one cultivates a personal ethic of continually looking instead of the stifling jadedness of mere cyphering on orthodoxies that need revising/dropping, the misbegotten inclination to egotistically defend or ignore (like neo-classical economists frustratingly do) or even the acculturated blindness that can occur when an intellectual tool like science for instance morphs into a paradigm of Science Only.

Quantum awareness in continual nascent engagement with the nowness, newness, continuousness of the quantum flux is a higher state of consciousness and enables or even drives evolutionary change.

MRM: Throwing ‘quantum’ in every sentence is generally a sign of a crackpot displaying the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

Me: Perhaps, unless its usage is accurate, plausible and relevant to the point of discussion. One thing that is very often true though, is that long distance internet psycho-analysis is probably the one “discipline” less accurate than neo-classical macro…and an easy means of invalidating someone and simultaneously a way of (unconsciously) blunting or freezing insight and hence the possibility of evolution.

1. Fully pay for your college education without having to borrow a cent
2. Receive $2000/mo of purchasing power at the age of 18 for life
3. Be able to buy $100 worth of groceries for only $50, a $60k EV for the equivalent payment of a $15k loan and a $500k house for the equivalent poal payment of $125k loan

Thats what the two primary policies of my new monetary paradigm will accomplish for you and everyone else, so “lend me your ears” and let us begin the greatest evolutionary change in economics since the creation of the idea of debt.

Grace: The Concept Behind Every Historical Paradigm Change

Paradigms: The Applications of The Realities of Ideas

Accounting: The Tool That Creates Money and Money’s Paradigm/Reality

Retail Sale: The Universally Participated in and Hence Most Efficacious Point To Implement The New Monetary and Economic Paradigm

A 50% Discount/Rebate Policy At (the various points of) Retail Sale: The Application of the Gracious Reality of the New Monetary and Economic Paradigm of Gifting Via The Accounting Operation of Equal Debits and Credits That Sum To Zero

Why? Because grace is stable dynamic flow.

Because grace is abundance.

Because grace is integrative and unitary while still being competitive.

Because grace is beauty which is transcendant.

Because grace is resolution of opposites which is Wisdom.

Because grace is the active impluse and ability to care so its ethical.

Because grace is natural, in both nature and in oneself…so you don’t even have to chant the right name to invoke it which simultaneously invokes DUALITY ONLY as in CONFLICT ONLY and which is why economics and religion are so problematic.

So instead just stand in anticipation of it in the present time light of it…and strategically apply it at significant and universally participated in points in the economy like retail sale with a 50% Discount/Rebate policy…and we’ll take a giant evolutionary step toward accomplishing our species designation of homo sapiens/wise and discerning man…instead of wallowing forever in homo economicus.

The 50% Discount/Rebate Policy At Retail Sale: The integration of a discrete beneficial effect into the continuous economic process that is also universally participated in and hence that EVERYONE is (beneficially and continuously) effected by.

And my repy to a bunch of naysayers regarding Keen’s presentation: ​ @profstevekeen  You’re all wrong and Dr. Keen is correct. Its just that he hasn’t cognited yet on the most efficacious policy program that will resolve neo-classical macro’s problems and implement the new APPLIED concept/paradigm.

The integration of a discrete beneficial effect into the continuous economic process that is also universally participated in and hence EVERYONE is (beneficially and continuously) effected by.

We don’t need capitalism or socialism we need the synthesis of that seeming unresolvable duality which is the thirdness greater oneness I call Wisdomics-Gracenomics. Grace is another word for caring. Grace as in loving/the active form of love is the ultimate ethic and personal experience and hence is the epitome of Wisdom. The beneficial effects of every historical paradigm change have always been an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace…RECOGNIZED and APPLIED. Like with a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale utilizing the same MMT recognized truth that new money is created by the double entry bookkeeping operations of equal debits and credits that sum to zero…except enlighteningly and resolvingly 50% of the new money created and distributed is a gracious/caring GIFT…instead of in the current monopoly form and concept of Debt ONLY….which is the core monetary and economic problem needing to be changed.

Who’da thunk it. All new money is created ONLY AS DEBT, but what if 50% of that new money was created as a GIFT and distributed at the single universally participated in point in the entire economic process, namely retail sale so everyone can purchase $100 worth of goods and services…for $50, and, as the retail point of Finance is one’s monthly mortgage, automobile, insurance or other big ticket item’s monthly payment that means that a $500k house is reduced to $250k at its purchase from a home builder and then 50% of your monthly mortgage payment is gifted to the bank…so you essentially get a $500k house for the equivalent monthly payment of a $125k mortgage. Hooray! Paradigm change! And, what is the normal human reaction to receiving a gift? Why thankfullness, gratitude and even joy! Which is exactly what we need in an increasingly contentious and hostile world. Grace as in Gifting: Visualize it, advocate for it and never give up doing so until it becomes the next evolutionary step for mankind.

Scientific/Reductionistic Change: The multitudinous verifications of the truthfulness of temporal universe facts

Conceptual-Paradigmatic/Systemic Change: The identification and application of the key operant concept of a particular system

Mega Paradigmatic/Multi-systemic, Universally and Continually Experienced Change: The identification and application of a concept that creates these multiple changes

New Zeitgeist-A Change In the Ethic of the Age: We have been stuck in the incomplete struggle of the zeitgiest change from the unconscious ethic of Animalistic Survival Only to Self Awareness and thus the awareness of the reality of ethics itself. This struggle has left us in the present anomalous zeitgiest of Power, Profit and Control and will begin to be resolved when we realize that the concept and reality of the natural philosophical concept of grace as in love in action, which is universally recognized as the superlative ethic,…and is the concept behind every historical paradigm change. Applying this insight will begin the change to the next zeitgiest of Redeemed/Redemptive Power, Profit and Control, and the mega-paradigm change in economics and the money system from Debt Only to Debt and Strategic Monetary Grace As In Gifting is the next giant step toward that goal.

Excellent exegesis of AI and its characteristics…and still essential lack thereof. The ultimate thing we need to keep in mind is AI will only be a useful cypher unless or until it can be made conscious ITSELF…and an essential aspect of that (consciousness itself) is self awareness that recognizes and respects the fact that others are also self aware…in other words it is not narcissistic and respects ethics which is the rational consideration of mere black/white moralism.

The pursuit should be both AI and AEAC (artificial ethically aware consciousness) …and of course we need better Human as well as artificial…ethically aware consciousness.
