Wisdom is the intellectual process of integrating relevant but problematic complexities so as to effect deep resolving applied solutions in the form of conceptual simplicities. This also the progressive phenomenon known as paradigm change which is a wisdom phenomenon itself because it is simultaneously both a mental/conceptual and temporal/physical universe effect, i.e. an integration of opposites that resolves.

The key insight to take from this is to realize that the beneficial effects of every historical paradigm change have always been an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace which then enlightens one to the realization that finding the relevant aspect(s) of grace and most efficaciously systemically applying them becomes a “plug and play” intellectual process for paradigm change.

Do not let perfectionism become the enemy of the Good, and Cynicism is the cancerous intellectual disease of the erudite.

CAPS are for emphasis only, not yelling.

Excellent, excellent post Rodger. I wouldn’t argue with anything you say, I would only ask what would be the best way we could harness and direct this restlessness? And that would be to find a way to elicit spirituality/the beneficial aspects and fruits of religion but NOT religion itself…just the beneficial EXPERIENCES of it…into an activity that is universally participated in and necessary for survival itself…like the economy for instance. In other words you integrate spirituality, in this case the opportunity to experience grace as in gratitude for a gift of 50% of the price of everything into the mandatory activity of a human system.

Monetary Grace as in Gifting could elicit the experience of love AND loving ACTION, i.e. graciousNESS that not only resolves the deepest problems of the economy but also becomes the greatest opportunity to CONSCIOUSLY self actualize gratitude…instead of being forced into grudging resentment at chronic erosive inflation and thus the stress of continually falling behind financially, not to mention having to deal with the stress of the daily barrage of greed, corruption, demagoguery i.e. anti-ethical behavior of chaos monkeys like you know who.

This would be a comprehensive human project that needs multple strategies, i.e. Wisdom because human psychology is complex (thats why I titled my book Wisdomics-Gracenomics) and thats why additional policy incentives and institutional changes I suggest in my book are also necessary…but the single policy of a 50% Discount/Rebate at the various points of retail sale is the start because its a BIG and UNIVERSALLY BENEFICIAL RESOLVING ACTION.

Look at something solid. Look at its color. Look at another detail in it. Look at a different detail in it. Look at the space around you. Look at something else that is solid. Repeat several times.

Absolutely the way to counter the negative economic effects of AI.

Then all we need to do is acculturate/guarantee positive, constructive purpose.

AI doesn’t have to be a disaster…if we utilize the intellectual process of Wisdom which is the integration of opposites that resolves problems, increases survival and whose beneficial effects are always the natural philosophical aspects and ethical concept of grace as in love and loving.

They both soldify and make a paradigm change more effective and resolving.

The 50% Discount/Rebate at regular consumer retail sale stabilizes the economy by ending the Full Price Only paradigm enforced at that point, but applying the 50% Discount/Rebate at Financial retail sale (one’s mortgage, insurance, automobile or other big ticket item’s monthly payment) also breaks up the monopoly monetary paradigm for the creation and distribution of ALL NEW money which is currently Debt Only and thus extends and increases the economic effects of the 50% Discount/Rebate at regular/everyday consumer retail sale and also ends the inevitability of increasing private indebtedness that has always destabilized an empire’s economy.

This additional discovery is perfectly analogous to Kepler’s discovery of elliptical orbits.

Lets create The General Public’s Reserve to fund the policies of the new monetary and economic paradigm.

The intellectual disease of modernity that transforms otherwise intelligent people into erudite dunces by mentally making them stop before they even start to make significant and necessary change.

Dueling orthodoxies never resolve, but grace as in the concept behind and ultimate insights of Wisdom is the way to “Split the baby/dueling duality in half” and effect thirdness greater oneness/trinity and the resolution of opposites.

Reserves are essentially monetary gifts. Therefore, everybody and every commercial agent gets an account at The FED which creates and distributes the monies/reserves to fund the 50% Discount/Rebate at retail sale:

1. which implemented doubles both everyone’s purchasing power and potential demand for every enterprise’s goods and services, transforms chronic erosive inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation,
2. the UBI/UHBI which ends poverty forever thus rescuing everyone from the otherwise next catastrophic economic depression caused by AI
3. essentially eliminates taxation of income and enables us to tax/prohibit stupidly irrational and monopolistic foot dragging by the energy, food, pharmacuedical etc. etc. industries and promote action toward
4. the wisdom of the natural philosophical concept of grace as in Gifting which concept’s aspects have always been the beneficial effects of every historical paradigm change
5. which enlightens and enables paradigm change to become a straight forward “plug and play” intellectual process to find the relevant aspect of grace and how to best implement it…in the temporal universe.

“Nuf said.”
