…is an aspect of the highest concept and spiritual value acknowledged by all of the world’s major wisdom traditions, that is, grace as in love in action both personally and in temporal universe systemic policy.

To help youth get as much education as possible and to incentivize a good work ethic the first 4 years of the universal dividend will be without sanction. However, 22 year olds will need to have worked at least part time for 5 of the next 7 years or they will lose $500/mo. universal dividend.

Employment is a major purpose and purposeful activities are essential to a full and happy life.

“The federal government never should lend. It only should give.”

This is completely true, and is a nascent recognition of the new monetary paradigm that needs to be integrated into the debt ONLY based system.

You say that shortages are the reason for inflation. I don’t disagree with this and its definitely a factor in inflation, but it’s not the most basic reason for inflation which is: There is currently no effective systemic way to stop commercial agents from inflating…because “free” market theory has mistaken chaos as in no limits…for freedom. In the human universe there is no such thing as total freedom, only freedom amongst known and enforceable limits. That’s why you can’t walk into a theater and yell “Fire!”

When you state: “Doctors and hospitals also have no incentive to lower cost other than the fact that Medicare won’t pay them if they try to raise prices.” you’re understanding that the government should be sovereign…but gracious at the same time. That’s the only way any human system can actually be and continue to be sovereign. And that’s just another reason why the new monetary paradigm must be Monetary Grace As In Strategic Gifting.

A “College For All Who Want It” program could operate in the same way. Federal dollars could go only to those colleges that charge a federally agreed-upon tuition.” you’re absolutely right. Or the government could say: “If you reduce your tuition by 50% we will rebate that amount back to you…BUT ONLY IF YOU AGREE NOT TO INFLATE YOUR TUITION PRICE. Thats “an offer no business or college can refuse” because it potentially doubles the actually available demand for their goods and services and yet it’s a death sentence if they don’t agree because not even an idiot consumer is going to pay 100% of retail price when they can walk next door and only pay 50%.

Keep in mind that a universal 50% discount at retail sale (with the non-inflationary proviso sovereignly in effect) means that systemically/macro-economically inflation will be banished to the dust bin of history.

We really should get together on this issue Rodger.

What is legal can be changed, especially if it is in defense of a monopoly power and is wildly beneficial to everyone except the current holder of such monopoly power.

Beauty is a harmonic of love. Whatever evokes love is beautiful. The only thing more important than love is the active form of love as in graciousness, as it is love in action/systemic policy and loving of course evokes more love and beauty.

How? By utilizing the 50% Discount/Rebate (or an even higher percentage discount) in directing consumption toward ecological sanity. Also, encourage greater savings of purchasing power by utilizing investment incentives for ecologically sane mega-projects to confront climate change like the off-planeting and/or under-planeting of the worst carbon producing means of production.

Counter-intuitiveness and complete conceptual opposition are signatures of both wisdom and paradigm change. When nomadically foraging for plants and game was the means of survival it was counter-intuitive to stop moving around and practice agriculture. Likewise, when it was “obvious” that the sun revolved around the earth simply by looking at it do so every day, it was counter-intuitive that it was the earth that was doing the revolving.

The truth is however is I utilize both the scientific reductionistic level and the paradigmatic/wholistic/wisdom/integrative levels of analysis. I just used the paradigmatic/conceptual level first and then utilized historical data to confirm that the signatures and effects of past accomplished paradigm changes were the same with the selected new concept. These signatures are:

1. Complete conceptual opposition to the current paradigm
2. Complete mental and temporal universe inversion of current reality
3. Resolution of the deepest problems existing in the current paradigm
4. Integration of the self interests of traditionally opposed ideologies/constituencies in the area of the paradigm

The new monetary and financial paradigm concept is a mega-paradigm change because it effects an immediate, universal, continual and direct to the individual beneficial change, and these changes also have beneficial effects in systems, bodies of knowledge and areas of human endeavor not directly related to the primary area of the paradigm change.

The new monetary and financial paradigm is also an aspect and direct application of the concept/experience that has been behind every evolution of the human species, namely the natural philosophical concept/experience of grace/satori/samadhi, and hence a direct application of spirituality into the temporal affairs of man.

All of what MMT says about deficits and the mechanics of money creation is wonderful, good and accurate. I applaud their research and their conclusions…but their analysis, as well as that of Keen, Hudson, Brown, Graeber, still needs to up their game to the level of paradigm concept. Why? Because a paradigm is an ENTIRE pattern CHANGE….not just a reform that while it may conceptually align with the new paradigm concept…doesn’t change the ENTIRE pattern. Why does a new paradigm concept change an entire pattern/system, body of knowledge? Because it locates the operant problem and finds the specific way(s) to express the solution to it temporally. Thus all of the attending outnesses/anomalies that have plagued the old pattern go “poof”. That’s what occurred with the Copernican cosmological paradigm change. And paradoxically and amazingly to those addicted to reductionistic complexity ONLY (the onlyness is the problem not the method itself) it was a single concept that made the change that resolved all the problems. And it’s important to point out that the final piece of the puzzle that made all of the anomalies of Ptolemaic cosmology go to the dust bin of history was the discovery of the elliptical nature of planetary orbits. In other words that temporal universe discovey/application was key. And that is why the 50% Discount/Rebate policy at the point of retail sale…is the analogous discovery…because the policy is both the expression of the new paradigm concept itself (Direct and Reciprocal Monetary Gifting) and the most efficaciously beneficial, most strategically powerful and universally participated in point in the entire economic/productive process.

And by the way I agree that productive capability does make a difference (even though inflation would not be a problem with a few regulations and reasonable rules for participation in the new paradigm program), but in the time between when the new paradigm was recognized and politically affirmed the help of government spending directed toward increasing domestic production (which is a wise economic and energy/ecological decision with or without the new paradigm) could easily be accomplished. And in the mean time if we had to continue importing from China etc. So what?

Because grace strategically applied to the monetary paradigm and the economy is not only philosophically and spiritually correct it is also a major temporal universe application of it as well. And it is historically verifiable that aspects of grace applied to the temporal universe are the key signature of all paradigm changes. Grace is the concept which cognited on and applied…always changes anything it is applied to…permanently for the better. But don’t you see it is not just a spiritual insight to say so, but an imminently workable temporal universe insight as well. The cosmos is in an unstoppable, dynamic, integrative, moment to moment flow state of space-time. In other words the state of grace is a scientific, micro and macro-cosmic FACT!

Intellectually and personally seek the aspects of grace and “you’ll never put a foot wrong” and you’ll be way ahead of anyone who doesn’t do exactly that. And when we finally recognize that grace is the philosopher’s stone concept we’re all seeking whether we consciously know it or not…we will enter the most golden of golden ages ever conceived.

Grace be with you.

Imagine the potential good that every time everyone bought something it was an opportunity to consciously or even unconsciously experience and hence self actualize grace as in gratitude. Gratitude/grace is a universal solvent for any and all conflicts/problems personal and temporal. It may not change everything over night, but it can’t have anything but positive effects. The economy is something that everyone experiences everyday often multiple times per day. It’s as ubiquitous as human consciousness itself. Going to church once or twice a week is powerful, but having the peak spiritual experience of grace as in gratitude occuring continuously often multiple times per day and every day is a mega-paradigm change opportunity. (Definition of mega-paradigm)

I come to you with the opportunity to have a significant rise in social/psychological gratitude. The opportunity to resolve the cynicism and hence apathy that secretly/realistically so stops nearly everyone from resolving their personal problems, and that collectively stops us from resolving our social and political problems as well. Hopefully there is less cynicism and apathy here than generally in the rest of society, and more hope, faith as in confidence and grace as in love in action.
