The temperment of the polis has changed. Now all El-Sayed needs is an integrative policy program that out economic democracies the socialists and simultaneously out profitability’s merchants with a policy of a 50% Discount/Rebate at the points of regular consumer goods retail sale and also at the point of Financial retail sale which is one’s mortgage, automobile, insurance or other big ticket item’s monthly payment. Voila! the economic agendas of the republicans and the democrats are united and the nay sayers have no rebuttal to such incredible benefits…for all economic agents…which means El-Sayed wins big and…if the democrats are smart enough to be the first party to advocate for this policy they have the opportunity to become a greater political coalition than The New Deal.
The Way To Stop Disingenuous Political Advocacy For The 50% Discount/Rebate At Retail /Sale
Have every candidate who says they are for the policy sign a legal document that they will follow through by making enacting that policy their very first action when Congress convenes after the election…or they’re constituents will immediately recall them and replace them with someone who is more honest and will follow through on that promise.
No lying and no fiddling around with the freedom that a paradigm change effects.

Its Okay…
…to bitch, but if you can solve at the same time you take the sting out of the duality, that is the conflict a bitch can set up, and so it enables both parties to remain in present time instead retreating into egoistic orthodoxies.

The 50% Discount/Rebate At Retail Sale: What It Does and Why Its The Answer
It out economic democracies the socialists and out profitabilities the capitalists.
Its a true thirdness greater oneness of a problematic duality in other words its a synthesis in other words the accomplishment of the dialectic itself.
It does what Marx wanted to see and yet never happened…because it didn’t pin point what the deepest economic problem was, where to remedy it so as to integrate the self interests of the consumer and the merchant simultaneously. In other words it enables the (happy) revolt of the bourgeosie.
Its not dogmatic, its pragmatic. Its not angry but it is unyieldingly ethical. Its not just intelligent, its WISE. Its powerful but gracious. Its Wisdomics-Gracenomics, and its a paradigm change.

You’re 100% right we need to get money out of the political system. However, what if there was a single policy that was so beneficial to every economic agent individual and commercial and was so easily modeled and understood to be so by everyone…that no amount of money given to any politician could be elected who opposed it??? Thats what a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale could accomplish. Why? Because its freshman algebra where -50% of price to the consumer doubles their purchasing power and the monetary authority/central bank funds every cent of the merchant’s 50% discounts back to them so they are made whole on their entire price AND the potential demand for every one of their goods and services is doubled to boot. Its the monetary and economic corallary to Victor Hugo’s insight that “If there is one thing all of the armies of the world cannot resist, it is a new (applied) idea/paradigm whose time has come.” And that applied idea is Strategic Monetary Gifting at the various points of retail sale.

If We Had…
…implemented the 50% Discount/Rebate at retail sale when we went from nomadic, tribal hunters and gatherers to homesteading, urbanization and agriculture, we’d probably now be saying: “Oh, lets take a couple of weeks off and stay at our vacation home around Alpha Centuri.” 8000 years of lost time and progress…but the time for change is now.

Thanks for this affirmation of the new monetary and economic paradigm of Gifting.
UBI-Monetary Gifting
Job Guarantee-Monetary Gifting
My 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale- a super charged universally participated in and so instantaneously macro-economic form of…Monetary Gifting
My 50% Discount/Rebate policy at the retail point of Finance which is one’s mortgage, automobile, insurance or other big ticket item’s monthly payment where the central bank pays for half of that payment so even the banks can’t object to it, and is also continual debt jubilee instead of the palliative one-off form of same…Monetary Gifting that is a pin pointed solution at “the roving cavaliers of credit” i.e. private banks which wield the present monopoly paradigm for the creation and distribution of new money AKA Debt Only
My policy of a sliding scale percentage of Gifted purchasing power required to be “taxed” (read Gifted) in Eco-Energy-Propulsion R & D treasury bonds which would mitigate consumption, fund and rationalize long overdue policy on climate change, cleaner and more powerful forms of energy and ways to better off planet energy production to earth orbit and/or the moon.
Last but not least these various universally participated in and beneficial policies would serendipitously be the greatest opportunity to self actualize grace as in gratitude for a GIFT since meditation and prayer…and you wouldn’t even have to chant the right name…just go to the store or the bank and buy someone’s product. Thats not capitalism or socialism but a thirdness greater oneness I call Wisdomics-Gracenomics.
Subsequent Podcast on Reserves and Bonds
So we need QE for the people in the form of a 50% Discount to price/Credit to the consumer pays at retail sale and Rebate/Debit back to the merchant granting the discount to the consumer making it a win/win for both parties…and its all done by the Federal Reserve which by doing that swap becomes the General Reserve and the best friend forever of all economic agents individual and commercial. The difference is accomplished by integrating the new monetary paradigm of Strategic Monetary and Purchasing Power Gifting into the current systemic monopoly paradigm of Debt Only.

Not that I think the democrats will make any significant changes. Dueling orthodoxies that never enable an actual thirdness greater oneness of the best aspects of that duality is the signature of stasis while accomplishing thirdness has always been the signature of paradigm change…and thats what we desperately need. The first party to recognize this will win the greatest political coalition since The New Deal.

A great and thoughtful post Rodger. Consider that the golden ratio is also a fibonacci sequence both of which are a trinity/trinitarian relationship. Likewise my assertion that the beneficial effects of every historical paradigm/pattern change is always an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace as in the integration of a duality/problem to the point of a thirdness greater oneness, i.e. a trinity/solution is what I call The Cosmic Code expressed in this formula:
[ ( A x Z ) —> C ) ]
Wisdom is itself a trinitarian intellectual process that practiced enables one to better recognize problems/dualities/logically opposed ideas, emotions or efforts and elicit thirdnesses from a synthesis of the duality. Furthermore grace/graciousness (or some other word that represents the same concept and experience like satori, enlightenment, etc.) is considered to be the ultimate wisdom. The following are considered wisdom and are also aspects of the concept/experience of grace: love/loving intention/loving action, flow/free flowingness, process/time itself, newness of nowness/presence/emergence/continuous change/progression/evolution…and economically and monetarily Gifting/the free gift.
I’m considering extending the above formula to include a fourthness/quadrinity which is simply a state of continuous trinity/grace/samadhi, etc thusly:
{ [ ( A x Z ) —> C ) ] —> [ ( A x Z ) —> C ) ] ———-> }
Finally, if I’m correct in saying that the beneficial effects of all historical paradigm changes are aspects of the concept of grace that would mean that we could better recognize and effect paradigm change in whatever system, body of knowledge or area of human endeavor because it would make paradigm change a “plug and play” straight forward intellectual process of discovering the relevant aspect of grace and its most efficacious application., i.e. a study of Paradigmology.
