He’s probably a combination of 3 through 9. The problem is even someone who is 1 and 2 can further the human civilization long instability caused by the monopoly monetary paradigm of Debt Only as in The Burden To Repay and For the Creation and Distribution of All New Money.

Money DOES make the world go ’round…Debt Only inevitably stops it. Hence, everything boils down to awakening and implementing the new monetary paradigm of Abundantly Direct and Reciprocal Monetary Gifting.

Dave Foulkes: Yes he’s a puzzle in many ways. But I’m towards the dangerous end of the spectrum on him now. Agree on the money side. Debt jubilee al la Steve Keen? Looks like the amount of public gaslighting on what money is (or more importantly what it isn’t) may be our undoing.

Me: Yes it will be, unless we figure out that neither palliatives nor disguised re-packaging of old/current orthodoxies will save us. No, it has to be a new paradigm, the anomalies are too abundant and the converging crises are in late stage.

Debt jubilee as a one off is a palliative. We need to integrate debt jubilee continuously into the Debt Only system with a 50% Gift of Interest to the banks/50% Debt jubilee to the borrower at point of loan signing. Sure the banks still get a fuck-ton of cash, but the power of their dominating monopoly paradigm that controls and enforces the inevitable instability is broken by the incredible benefits of the new paradigm. To paraphrase Vitor Hugo: “If there is one thing all the armies/Banks of the world cannot resist, it is an idea whose time has come.”
