Power is addictive and so is control. However, control is even more so especially if it is paradigmatic control because its then a lot easier to hide due to the fact it is only an idea and so seems less temporally important. Also, it becomes acculturated, that is largely unconscious and unperceived. But paradigms are APPLIED ideas so they are extremely powerful and yet still difficult to perceive.

Such is the importance of paradigmatic analysis…and of all the monetary and economic analysts I been a student of since 2007 not a single one has analyzed the economy and money system conceptually/paradigmatically…except me.
