Obsession With Employment: The Indicator of An Economic Theorist’s Orthodox Stupidity

Economists can’t think through and decipher the truthfulness or untruthfulness of traditional economic and monetary factors. So how are they supposed to even be aware of entirely new and different ones like Grace as in Gifting?  Everywhere theorists and pundits do a tremendous figure-figure-figure with numbers etc. about employment and unemployment….and can’t see that monetary Gifting and adapting to leisure solves every economic problem that has plagued modern economies for over a century. How stupid and blind can they be?  The modern mind thinks it is enlightened. Actually it is very hide bound to orthodoxies that have been an increasing hindrance to mankind for more than two thousand years. The so called curse of Adam that “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread,” has been being lifted by technology for at least that long and yet all theorists can do is try to create more and more work for pay only.  Why not try to think integratively by including both work for pay and monetary Grace as in Gifting? (The words both and and should be thought and uttered continually until they are the most integral part of a theorist’s mindset.) After all Wisdom is the very process of the mental integration of all relevant and workable factors of a situation so that thought and deed, philosophy and policy are also integrated and become a third, more workable, more unified and more ethical whole.  Then if theorists do not account for all of an economy’s costs correctly (as they currently don’t) and technology and artificial intelligence are ever more rapidly eroding aggregate individual incomes, it might occur to them to combine, to integrate employment and monetary Grace. Such is the entire difference between Wisdom and stupidity.
