Of course they’ll fight. The sad truth is humanity is barely civilized because despite all of our potential we’ve been culturally dominated by elites on numerous levels probably most heavily and continuously by a monopoly monetary paradigm that enforces austerity on the bulk of the populace. Changing that with a new monetary paradigm of Gifting would not only give everyone a long deep breath of economic security, but would enable them to self actualize gratitude instead of grudging confusion that leads too often to irrational religiosity instead of pursuing the actual point of religions which is graciousness.

Paradigm change is now “Plug and Play” which also means so is human temporal universe progress and personal evolution.

Another Confirmation That The Concept Behind Every Historical New Paradigm Is An Aspect of Grace

The Copernican Cosmological paradigm change was not only the inversion of perceived reality (geo-centrism to helio-centrism), it was also the realization that geo-centrism was also a form of unbalanced narcissism/ego-centrism instead of centered graciousness/humility (aspects of grace).

Grace: The key to the integration of opposites and hence the resolution to any and every problem. Look at it until you see it, and go with it…and you’ll never put a foot wrong.

What Is The Biggest and Most Important Insight of Wisdomics-Gracenomics?

Its that the concept behind every historical paradigm change has always been an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace. And that makes it a tremendously focusing, prompting and beneficial plug and play intellectual insight in pursuuit of the most permanently progressive human mental and temporal universe phenomenon, i.e. paradigm change…or for the resolution of any other problem one might be dealing with. Grace as in the active form of love, i.e. loving has always been recognized as the superlative spiritual, ethical and personal experience, i.e. wisdom insight, and now its aspects applied are also the way to change the world we all inhabit.

Just discover and apply the relevant aspect(s) of grace. You’re Welcome!

Yes, The Economy and Life Are Complicated, But…

…thats why continuing to keep one’s mind open to further analysis including most especially ethical analysis…is so important. And thats why I insist Wisdomics-Gracenomics be an ever analyzing/evolving body of knowledge.

Life and living are emergent in nature, so keep looking at it honestly moment to moment to keep it real and aligned with the natural philosophical concept behind every historical paradigm change…which is the concept of grace, and which is the biggest insight of Wisdomics-Gracenomics itself.

The Needed Change in The Paradigm of “Free” Market Theoretics

From the mistaken and fetishized concept of TOTAL FREEDOM to TREMENDOUSLY INCREASED FREEDOM…WITHIN KNOWN AND ENFORCEABLE BARRIERS.

This implements actual ethics, which is the rational consideration of mere black/white morals, into the economy and the money system where it has sadly been lacking under the current monetary paradigm of Debt Only as the sole form and vehicle for the creation and distribution of all new money…for the entire length of human civilization. So its long over due that we change that reality…by implementing the new paradigms of Strategic Monetary Gifting and Actual Looking instead of Mere Computing On Long Acculturated Economic, Monetary and Theoretical Religious Orthodoxy…into the economy, the money system and the theoretical framework of same.

To Be Read Everyday: Lovliest Little Piece I’ve Ever Read

My Dear Human,
I see that you are crying, for it is my moment to leave. Don’t cry, please. I want to explain some things to you.
You’re sad because I left, but I’m glad I met you.
How many dogs and cats and birds like me die daily without meeting someone special like you?
I know it saddens you my departure, but I had to go now.
I want to ask you not to blame yourself for anything. I heard you sobbing that you should have done something else for me. Don’t say that, you’ve done a lot for me! Without you I would have known nothing of the beauty I carry with me today.
You must know that we animals live the present intensely and we are very wise: we enjoy every little thing every day, and forget the bad past quickly.
Our lives begin when we know love, the same love you gave me, my angel without wings and two legs.
Know that even if you find an animal that is seriously injured, and that you only have a little bit of time in this world, you provide a huge service by accompanying you in your final transition.
None of us likes to be alone, except when we realize it’s time to leave.
Maybe for you it’s not so important that one of you is next to us caressing us and holding our paw, helps us go in peace.
No more crying, please. I’ll be happy. I have in memory the name you gave me, the warmth of your house that in this time became mine. I take the sound of your voice talking to me, even though I don’t always understand what you were saying to me.
I carry in my heart every caress you gave me.
Everything you did was very valuable to me and I thank you endlessly, I don’t know how to tell you, because I don’t speak your language, but surely in my eyes you could see my gratitude.
I’m just gonna ask for two favors. Wash your face and start smiling.
Remember how good we live together these moments, remember the antics I made to cheer you up.
Relive like me all the good we share in this time.
And do not say you will not adopt another animal, because you have suffered a lot from my departure. Without you I would not live the beauties I lived.
Please don’t do this! There are many like me waiting for someone like you.
Give them what you gave me, please, they need it just like I needed you.
Don’t keep the love you have to give, for fear of suffering.
Follow my advice, cherish the good you share with each of us, recognizing that you are an angel to us animals, and that without people like you our life would be harder than sometimes it is.
Follow your noble task, now it’s up to me to be your angel.
I will accompany you in your path and help you help others like me.
I will talk to other animals who are here with me, I will tell them everything you have done for me and I will point and say proudly: “that’s my family.”
Tonight, when you look at the sky and see a blinking star I want you to know that it’s me flashing an eye; warning you that I arrived well and telling you “thank you for the love you gave me”.
I say goodbye now not saying “goodbye”, but “see you later.”
There is a special sky for people like you, the sky where we go and life rewards us by making us meet there.
I’ll be waiting for you!”

Nice to see you addressing the need to analyze the inevitable economic consequences of AI and the monetary consequences as well. UBI/High UBI is fine and good, but the way to turbo-charge that form of Monetary Gifting would be to implement a 50% Discount/Rebate at regular consumer retail sale and also at the retail point of Finance (your monthly payment for any money financed).

As for the American acculturated bias toward the necessity of employment being a problem IMO thats probably not that relevant. Why? Because when the commercial slump caused by AI puts 70-80% of the work force out of a job the tech bros and other oligarchs, who have a well honed survival instinct, will probably quickly realize that objecting to the above forms of Monetary Gifting to half of the general populace will result in a pitch fork in the ass if not a guillotine…for them.

No argument with your analysis of neo-classical economic theory. However, no amount of mere systemic analysis will ever yield a lasting systemic change…only operant applied conceptual/paradigmatic analysis is up to that task. Every paradigm change was accomplished by finding the KEY anomalous concept and then finding a way to resolve its problematic effects. In the present economic and monetary case the current problematic concept is Debt Only which means its a monopoly paradigm that demands that all new money can only be created and distributed as debt. This is exactly analogous to the Roman Catholic Churches monopoly paradigm which was Salvation Via Roman Catholic Sacraments Only. All new paradigms are in complete conceptual opposition to the present paradigm so the opposite concept to Debt Only would be (Strategic) Monetary Gifting.

Now as everyone must and does participate in retail sale Monetary Gifting at both regular consumer retail sale and at the retail point of Finance (one’s monthly mortgage, insurance, automobile or other big ticket item) implementing a 50% Discount/Rebate/double entry bookkeeping policy at these two retail points vastly increases EVERYONE’S purchasing power and the potential demand for every merchant’s goods and service while resolving chronic erosive inflation by implementing beneficial price and asset deflation, i.e. breaking up Finance’s current monopoly paradigm. Just give everyone and every subscribing merchant an account at the central bank and mandate that they fulfill the rebate aspect of the policy at both points. Hence EVERYONE gets $100 worth of groceries or other goods and services for $50, a $60k Tesla for $30k at the dealership and a $500k house for $250k at the home builder…and when your monthly payment for the Tesla and your mortgage comes due the central bank pays 50% of its total to the bank so you actually get the Tesla for the equivalent payment of a $15k loan and the house for the equivalent payment of a $125k loan.

Oh, and by the way you leave the store and check your bank account every month and instead of feeling grumpy as hell you get this big smile on your face and say thank god someone finally found a lasting solution to this human civilization long problem.

The 50% Discount/Rebate At Retail Sale: The Great Focuser and Integrator of Economic Benefits, and The Ethical/Psychological/Spiritual Magic Wand An Increasingly Angry, Frustrated, Lost and Distracted Society Needs

This single policy intensely rewards both every consumer and every legitimate merchant at the very purpose point of economics (a sale of goods or services). It does this with a gift of purchasing power which doubles the individual’s economic abilities, and a gift of money to the merchant which is the very tool of survival and profitability. So it accomplishes the goal of both socialism (universal economic democracy) and capitalism (economic gain).

It also transforms the negative emotional and mental stress that modern economic systems fraught with oligarchy, greed, uncertainty and instability foist on the general populace into the greatest opportunity for EVERYONE to self actualize gratitude with its gracious gifting to again, EVERYONE.

Those that have eyes, let them see.
