Me: As per usual your systems analysis is correct, but equally per usual your follow through with applied philosophical/paradigmatic analysis is lacking. The last monopoly paradigm (salvation via the Roman Catholic sacraments ONLY) was ended by the idea that one could have a Direct Personal Relationship with god AKA The Reformation. Look for the ideas BEHIND the systems that enforce their realities and their anomalies, then apply the new idea and voila! resolution and positive change. Steve, you’re the smartest system’s analyst on the planet. Please utilize applied philosophical/paradigmatic analysis and you could become the WISEST analyst on the planet.

MR: How is it possible that in 2024 we have a system of monetary administration that doesnt produce an annual budget to forecast movements in its largest accounts, inflation adjusted.

Nor is there a Chief Monetary Officer responsible for producing an annual monetary budget.

My golf pro publishes his forecast for annual movements in green fees, merchandise, labour and expenses, with an adjustment each year for inflation.

Lack of full independence at the top of our monetary economy is done with the support of large political donors for one reason: Enforce scarity on the population to reduce the value of labour.

Me: If you were the chairman of the FED or the CEO of a “too big to fail” bank, would you want to embrace a new paradigm that mathematically and continuously resolved the major problems of the economy and the money system that you profit massively from? No, you’d ignore, laugh at, condemn as absurd and resist it, unless, you valued wisdom over even science, logic, mathematics and self interest. Take the applications and benefits of the new paradigm directly to the mass of individuals…right along and in addition to the truths discerned via system’s analysis…and let there be light!

MR: Not quite. There are policy people who read this blog and, according to Ann, are working for reform. But someone has to sponsor the political process and fund elections. Gives me hope.

Me: Good, I’m all for hope and even reform…so long as the reformist is also open to integrating their movement into the true object which is the new operant/resolving applied concept AKA a new paradigm. We don’t have that, and until we do we’ll fiddle around with mere reform and continue to go no where fast exactly like we’ve done with climate “change” for 50 years. I’ve appealed to Steve, Stephanie Kelton, Ann, Ellen Brown, Scott Santan, Michael Hudson etc. with little engagement. Much of that can be laid at the door of being busy with their own “movements” but inability/unwillingness to see beyond the cynical cultural horizon of our current increasingly anomalous paradigm for inquiry, Reductivist Science Only, and so to see that the integrative mental impulse and discipline of Wisdom/Paradigmism is the superlative means of discerning both facts and truths. As I often say: “Science is wonderful, necessary and delicious…and it exists entirely within the digestive tract of Wisdom.”
