Me: The solution for Alberta, all Canadians and every other national economy is to change the monetary paradigm of enforced monetary austerity to abundance with a 50% Discount/Rebate at retail sale which not only doubles everyone’s purchasing power but also creates beneficial deflation…by increasing the money supply therefore invadidating The Quantity theory of Money.Milton Friedman turns over in his grave and the terminally orthodox deride the policy while ignoring its temporal universe effects. JUST MODEL THE POLICY EFFECTS UNTIL YOU SEE THE PARADIGM CHANGE. SHEEEESH!

LM: Ut oh! It’s the window licker again. What Ai model are you? Or what Ai model are you using now? “Doubles purchasing power… and creates deflation.” Wow! You got me there partner. Any links you can point to that break this down for us???

Me: Just do the double entry bookkeeping operations of equal debits and credits that sum to zero…which is the way all new money is currently created…except you change the nature of the money debited back to the merchant from Debt Only to Monetary Gifting. Every economic agent gets an account at the central bank making it The General Reserve instead The Federal Reserve and thus only serving the private banks whose monopoly paradigm of Debt Only serially destabilizies the domestic economy by over indebting the individual and enterprise. Its an aconomically beneficial bailing out of everybody…instead of just the banks …after they cause the problem with their monopoly monetary paradigm. Or you can just deride its temporal universe benefits by not looking at them and become an orthodox dunce.

Implementing a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at the various points of retail sale throughout the economy breaks up the present monopoly paradigm concept for the creation and distribution of all new money that the private banks currently wield. It is the accomplishment of the synthesis/dialectic…without the attending negative orthodoxy effects of the either capitalism or socialism. Thats because it out profitability’s capitalism and out economic democracy’s socialism. There you have it, just keep modeling the beneficial effects of that policy for every economic agent with the double-entry bookkeeping operations of equal debits and credits.

You’re a brilliant systems analyst Dr. Keen, but like everyone else but me you fail to analyze money and the economy conceptually/paradigmatically. Please stop being exactly like the neo-liberals you correctly critique and look at the macro-economic effects of this single paradigm changing policy.

On a scale of Mindfulness Lookingness is right below Knowingness and hence is much higher than Thinkingness/Abstraction. Look until you see what is continually all around you as you saw it as a 6 month old child who has not learned to abstarct experience with words and you will re-discover the wonder of pure consciousness and understand all of the lower states of Mindfullness much better as well. This state of mind is the point of every human wisdom tradition and is their concept of the experience of god.

I believe this state is the super chanrging integration of one’s own consciousness with a nascent experience of the electro-magnetic flux which is all around us continually. Hence it is an integration of the natural/scientific and the spiritual/psychological.

If god is omni-present, then logically the place to meet/experience god…is in the present moment, now and now and now as best, as long and as deeply as you can.

This is why meditation is so beneficial, and why direct looking at whatever you see in your immediate surroundings is also so powerful. So look, don’t think, and you will have the astounding experience of god which is grace and all of its fruits.

Me: You’ve recognize the second and third biggest problems of economics:

2. Financial “innovation” and
3. Financial speculation

Number 1 is the virtual monopoly monetary paradigm for the creation and distribution of all new money which private finance has wielded for the entire course of human civilization. Integrate the new paradigm of Strategic Monetary Gifting into the Debt Only system with a high percentage discount/rebate policy at the various points of retail sale throughout the economy and you’ll create a robust economics that will out economic democracy the socialists and out profitability the capitalists.

My Response To BE on the same podcast: The most universal and efficacious way to accomplish what you just posited would be implementing a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale because the discount doubles everyone’s purchasing power WITH PRICE AND ASSET DEFLATION and the rebate back to the merchant makes them whole on their entire price while doubling the potential demand for every one of their goods and services. Imagine that. Much more money yet not only no inflation, but beneficial and non-onnerous deflation. Milton Friedman turns over in his grave.

THE 50% DISCOUNT/REBATE AT BOTH REGULAR CONSUMER RETAIL SALE AND ALSO AT THE RETAIL POINT OF FINANCE (ONE’S MORTGAGE, INSURANCE, AUTOMOBILE OR OTHER BIG TICKET ITEM’S MONTHLY PAYMENT) IS A TRUE ECONOMIC THIRDNESS GREATER ONENESS OF THE BEST ASPECTS OF THE UNRESOLVING DUALITY OF CAPITALISM VS SOCIALISM. JUST KEEP DOING ITS MATH UNTIL YOU SEE IT.

Its Grace As In A Reciprocally Beneficial Relationship (RBR). Here’s how: Monetary Grace As In Gifting with a 50% Discount (credit to price)/equal Rebate(debit of price) at Retail Sale means everyone gets $100 worth of groceries for only $50. Nice unaforbability resolving benefit, right? But with the rebating of every cent of those discounts back to the merchant granting it to the consumer by the central bank the merchant not only gets their full price of $100 they also get a potential doubling of demand…for every one of their goods and services. So again, its wonderful for both sides of an ordinarily opposed self interest relationship, and also a mutually beneficial and problem resolvingintegration of opposites which is a classic signature of both wisdom insights and of historical paradigm changes.

Long story short its because we’ve never resolved the more underlying problem of the monopoly monetary paradigm that historically has serially destabilized economies, and so the populace and demagogues get sick and tired of being sick and tired and demand action…without awareness of this problem.

Example: The Reformation was actually about how finance corrupted Roman Catholicism forcing them to finance the indebtedness they owed the banks by indulgences.

Virtually every empire has gone to war in vain attempts to restabilize their domestic economies after excessive private indebtedness and oligarchy, and in every case those wars lead to the end of empire.

We must finally go to the heart of the problem and integrate a new monetary and economic paradigm of Strategic Monetary Gifting into the Debt Only system before world war and converging energy and climatic crises endanger human and planetary life.

The fruits and aspects of Paradigm changes are always Graciousness as in lovingness/love in action IOW the integration of that inner experience and its outer systemic expression.

Elucidate these aspects in historical paradigm changes and how their beneficial effects are indeed always an aspect or aspects of grace.

It is the fact that the beneficial aspects of every historical paradigm change have always been an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical applied concept of grace. and why is that insight so remarkable? Because then one realizes that paradigm change becomes the straight-forward intellectual process of finding the relevant aspect of the concept of grace and how to most efficaciously applying it.

Its Gracientialism/Paradigm Change-ism/CPPP (Continuous Permanent Progressive Phenomonism).

Pardon me, but You’re Welcome!
