How can rational expectations be the basis for theory when man is increasingly less aware….of himself? After all, his awareness is what controls or does not control his mind. How can any theory not begin with deciphering what would free the individual first? If economists would begin there and consciously craft policies instead of operating out of ideologies, agendas, quasi-religious beliefs in equilibrium or disequilibrium, obsession with abstractions and neglect of consideration for the individual….maybe economics and economic theory would ring with much more clarity. Provide for the individual. Free him/her economically….the rest of profit, production, control etc. would largely fall in line and regulation of the anti-social, terminally insecure and otherwise damaged…would probably be much easier than trying to grapple with an unethically unstable system where obsession with power, profit and control is rife, is thus required to survive, and, in utterly orthodox terms considered “inevitable.” We need a Wisdomics, a Gracenomics. Contemplate grace, not as some idiot pre-scientific dogma, but as a concept and NATURAL psychological experience. It being the pinnacle experience of Wisdom, and referenced by other names in all four of the world’s major wisdom traditions, it is then integratively the best possible guide for both individual development and human systemic policy. Start at the starting point…philosophy. And then align policy with a philosophy that is adequate and integrates both our abundant productive capabilities and our most freeing potentialities. Or remain a big talking reformist pedant who suggests monetary grace in the form of a modern debt jubilee but can’t actually get but one lobe of his brain outside of the paradigms of Debt ONLY, Loans ONLY, for production ONLY and via the system first ONLY…and so never actually ever understands or makes the transition to a new paradigm.
