Praise for scientific and mathematical researchers
Scientific and mathematical research is good, necessary and often helps us hone in on and focus on the primary problem and on the operant concept it reflects that keeps the problems in the system under analysis in continuous effect and suspension. Such research however must make the leap from mere iconoclasm, problem identification and reform to operant concept/paradigmatic analysis and thus the deep and lasting solutions marked by actual paradigm/entire pattern change.
On the old and present paradigm for inquiry
Part of the problem we face as moderns is the four century long now entirely too orthodox paradigm for inquiry AKA Science Only. This is of course no call for us to abandon science, only to alert us to the dangers of orthodoxy in the scientific method and particularly if that method has become a monopoly paradigm like Science Only. As I like to say: “Science is wonderful, interesting, necessary and delicious and exists entirely within the larger mindset/digestive tract of Wisdom.” Wisdom (not necessarily religion) is the superlative human intellectual discipline not science.
Wisdom insights and Paradigm Concepts are alike deep simplicities
Wisdom insights in a few words go directly to the real problem and/or truth of any question, and a paradigm is the operant/most significant and powerful concept that describes and enforces the realities of an entire pattern of thought. Hence they are both deep simplicities.
My childhood postulate to Get Knowledge, Get Wisdom and Get Understanding and where It Took Me As An Adult
When I was seven years old one day as I descended the stairs from my upstairs bedroom, I heard my mother’s response to a telephone call where she first heard about her father’s death in an automobile accident. Her voice quavered as she said: “He’s dead?
This of course unnerved me to say the least. What I did after hearing this has set a positive course, even amongst a thousand distractions and avoidances, for my entire life.
I somehow found a bible and went down in our basement with it. I walked around holding it for awhile and I distinctly remember saying to myself that I was going to learn and obey what was in it. If one opens the bible approximately in the middle, they usually find either Psalms or Proverbs.
As there is in any of the texts of the world’s major wisdom traditions so is there plenty of relevant human insight all through the bible, but as luck was with me that day, I opened it to Proverbs. And so Proverbs, defined as the wisdom of deep simplicities, became my favorite book of the bible. Over time my favorite chapter became Proverbs 4: 5-9 which in the King James version reads as the following:
5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
Realize that the postulate/decision/mental action I made to learn and obey what I would read was the real power initially. The fruits of that decision were to come later. Action/expression whether mental or temporal is the real power in the world. Please keep that fact that in mind as you read on.
Chance introduction to C. H. Douglas and Social Credit and Wally Kinck’s definition of Grace Which Awakened Me To Monetary Grace As In Gifting as the New Paradigm Concept
List conclusions of Douglas, His Policy of a CRP/Compensated Retail Price, Keen, Hudson, Brown, MMT and How Making the Percentage of the Discount/Rebate Policy a high number instead of merely an approximate match of the rate of inflation largely resolved the problems identified by each of the above.
Why and how Wisdomics-Gracenomics and its policies reflect the same process of discernments and discoveies as The Copernican Cosmological paradigm change went through in order for it to be confirmed as possible (Galilleo), correct and most workable and effective (Kepler).
Analysis of the signature effects and concept behind all historical paradigms and mega-paradigms and how they all have been aspects of the concept of grace.
The current zeitgeist, its looong history, the concept behind the new Ethic of the Age and an age of Wisdom/Grace in every area of life and living.
