Trump at the very least is an unwitting Russian asset. I think its worse than that. My bet is Putin has a video of seven Russian whores pissing on Trump while he ‘s doing you know what. Regardless his actions consistently reflect those of a Russian asset. Anyone who can’t see that is even more blind than those who can’t see the incredible benefits of my favorite policy.

Ukraine is kicking Putin’s ass. The truism that when your enemy is getting their ass kicked…don’t do anything to hinder that process.

Who here watches The Enforcer podcast on YouTube. They do an excellent job of covering the Ukraine war.

AO: Is that a complicated way of saying that you want the government to subsidize the purchase of new computers? I think the result will be to demonstrate the quantity theory of money, not to invalidate it.

Me: Apparently you didn’t model the policy’s temporal universe effects which enables the individual agent to purchase $100 worth of groceries for $50, a $60k EV for $30k and a $500k house for $250k and yet with the rebate aspect of the policy the merchant gets their full price. Thats a funny kind of inflation. Try to look past your present monetary and economic orthodoxies…its a necessity to perceive a paradigm change…proven over and over again by history.

Waldo: It’s pretty clear Sam Altman is a class A sc*m-bag. He is part of a whole new generation of investors who want take away anything you own and rent it back to you at profit. How is this any different than communism?

Me: Reference my response to Arthur Orwell above. Also communism is oppressive control of industry. This policy BENEFITS commercial agents by doubling the demand for their goods and services. Its a true thirdness/synthesis of a problematic duality.

yippee: i have a few little gentleman steak dinner bets with some chums. i say Trump will just wire into everyone’s bank account a large sum. perhaps 100k, or 1 million or 1 billion of computer cursor currency. Covid showed the way. and countless empires and republics and dictatorships have debased their currency by doing similar. my billion dollar zimbabwe note and italian lira, i keep, in my wallet remind me. next to my gold, silver and copper coin.

Me: That is the debt jubilee policy advocated by Steve Keen and others and is a good one-off palliative but doesn’t have the beneficial price and asset deflationary effect that my 50% Discount/Rebate has. Thus it ends up being a half-assed reform that commercial agents would just respond with higer rates of inflation…in the name of “free” market theory…which is just a ruse and a misnomer for having no actual and enforceable barriers, i.e. chaos, and which unfortunately closes the minds of libertarians and even liberals who fallen for such fetishized theory.

An excellent exegesis of the polymath phenomenon. My entire adult life has been an apparent under achievement driven by an early childhood postulate I made upon hearing my mother say “He’s dead!?” upon getting a phone call from her mother that her/my mother’s father had just died in an automobile accident. This unnerved me and I immediately went and got a bible from my brother’s room and went to our basement and opened it in the middle (basically either Psalms or Proverbs) and made the postulate to read and live what was there. Hence Proverbs became my chosen book of the Bible whose entire theme is “Get knowledge! Get wisdom! Get understanding! Thankfully it wasn’t “believe every jot and tittle of pre-scientific orthodoxy one might hear from tele-evangelists.” 🙂 Obeying these postulates has been my lifelong pursuit. I was very intellectually curious and in many cases of seemingly opposite or irrelevant subjects. Wisdom is the very intellectual process of integrating opposites to the point of thirdness greater oneness solutions or what I call The Cosmic Code which is expressed as The integration of dualities/opposites to the point of a thirdness/trinitarian greater oneness solution, i.e. the achievement of Hegel’s dialectic.

In 2007 as the worst monetary and economic collapse was occuring I was by chance invited to join a google group regarding an almost forgotten world wide movement started between the first and second world wars called Social Credit. Exploring and innovating the policies suggested by this movement was (finally) the beginning of the application of my life long studies and resulted in a (needing editing) book entitled Wisdomics-Gracenomics: The New Monetary Paradigm and Its Policies and the start of my blog (wisdomicsblog.com) wherein I explore the personal, temporal universe and often serendipitous benefits of applying the policy program of my book and of self actualizing the various aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace.

I have subscribed to your podcast and await new videos.

The FED as currently constructed and operating is entirely analogous to Ptolemaic cosmology’s fantasy creation of “epicycles” to explain and deal with anomalous astral body movements.

Kepler’s insight that orbits are elliptical instead of perfect godly circles demolished Ptolemaic cosmology, and implementing a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at the various points of retail sale is a Keplerian equivalent in the economy and the money system.

Virtually all of the seemingly necessary back and forth/prestidigtation of the current system and its paradigm of Debt Only in regard to new money creation is eliminated with a new directly distributive paradigm of Monetary Gifting…if that new paradigm is implemented with a double entry operation of a high percentage Discount/Rebate policy at significant points of retail sale throughout the economy (regular retail sale, financial retail sale, i.e. one’s mortgage, automobile, insurance or other big ticket item’s monthly payment, the government deficit). The truth is that finance “stands astride the world like a collosus” because its monopoly paradigm has been imposed upon both the general populace and every other commercial agent except finance…since the first day of human civilization.

This paradigm change is beyond petty reforms, beyond absolutely correct and comprehensive systemic/theoretical problem identification…because it changes the operant IDEA/CONCEPT creating and enforcing the realities/anomalies of the current paradigm…which is what actual paradigm changes do.

Place the horse-new idea of Strategic Monetary Gifting before the cart-present systemic problems with the most efficacious ways of implementing it (digital tech, double entry bookkeeping, a superlative EXE-CUTIVE agent, read the central bank, and distribution at a universally participated in/aggregative as in macro-economic point/the various points of retail sale/exchange above..and stand in the light of the historical phenomenon of paradigm change.

I don’t disagree with anything you say in this post. I only suggest that we give every economic agent, both individual and commercial, an account at the central bank, and then to implement a 50% Discount/Rebate at the various points of retail sale and mandate that the central bank create and distribute the rebate aspect of that policy This does what the Copernican cosmological paradigm change did to Ptolemic cosmology…to the Quantity Theory of Money and Its alleged necessary inflationary effect, that is, it invalidates it and inverts the temporal universe reality which is from chronic erosive inflation to beneficial price and asset deflation.

Presently, the central bank is the handmaiden of the banks in “normal” economic times and its bail bondsman when Finance destabilizes the economy with its monopoly paradigm for the creation and distribution of all new money which is Debt Only.

Give every economic agent an account at the central bank and implement the above policy and the result will be that the new monetary and economic paradigm of Strategic Monetary Gifting will be integrated into the economy and it will out profitability capitalism and simultaneously out economic democracy socialism thus creating a thirdness greater oneness of that problematic duality AKA a Wisdomics-Gracenomics.

A point of final price point of economic and/or monetary exchange.

…is 1) a gigantic step toward creating a more humane human civilization because it corrects a human civilization long recurring problem…and 2) it does this by integrating aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace and its universally recognized benficial fruits like gratitude, thankfullness, abundanc and security…and 3) it does this with the single policy of a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at the various points of retail sale throughout the economy…because 4) everyone must and does participate in retail sale which means it has instantaneous macro-economic effect and 5) that effect also integrates the normally opposed self interests of the consumer and the merchant because 6) it doubles everyone’s purchasing power while with the rebate aspect of the policy it 7) also doubles the potential demand for every one of the merchant’s goods and services. This is what I refer to as a mega-paradigm change of which there has only been 3-4 in the entire history of the human species.

Excellent exegesis of the election as always Mish, however the following statement ironically describes the problems with economic “theory” today on both sides of the aisle:

“the whole point of building a model, in some sense, is to set clear rules ahead of time so you don’t have to trust your gut or make ad hoc assumptions in midstream.”

IOW capitalist and socialist theorists are caught in an unresolving duality due to their theoretics not creating known and enforceable barriers but won’t/can’t breakthrough to a resolving thirdness due to rigid orthodoxy and failing to find the key factor that keeps the present chaos in force.

The new monetary paradigm of Strategic Monetary Gifting that breaks up Finance’s monopoly paradigm of Debt Only and the 50% Discount/Rebate policy at the various points of retail sale out does the profitability of capitalism and out economic democracy’s socialism.

Its the nothingness from which everything manifests. Look until you see.

Look don’t think. On a scale of consciousness looking is right below knowingness. Imo satori is the initial and nascent integration of one’s awareness with the electro-magnetic flux that is all around us at all times. Its an integration of opposites (self awareness and the cosmos) and hence both a natural and spiritual experience.

The actions of consciousness are reaching and withdrawing. Learning to simply keep reaching and withdrawing is the experience of samadhi.
