Its a thinly disguised attempt to acculturate, (read make more unconscious in the minds of the general populace), the authoritarian mindset.

To aid energy research and mitigate some of the uptick in consumption as a result of a 50% Discount/Rebate at retail sale, why not implement a sliding scale required investment of gifted money into 5-6% eco-energy R & D bonds. Its still a gift just a gift of investment so it aligns with the new monetary paradigm and it propels investment toward rational scientific goals.
True paradigm changes always open new doors mentally and temporally.

Thanks for making my point. That is, that the PROBLEM is all about credit-debt, that is, the present monetary paradigm for the creation and distribution of all new money AKA Debt Only, and the SOLUTION is changing economics and the money system by integrating the new paradigm of Strategic Monetary Gifting into the Debt Only MONOPOLY paradigm system…with double entry bookeeping entries of equal debits and credits with a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale and also the retail point of Finance which is one’s mortgage or other big ticket item payment.
First principles of paradigm change:
1) complete conceptual opposition to the present paradigm,
2) complete inversion of temporal universe realities,
3) new mental realization and
4) the individual effects of the new paradigm are always an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace…like Gifting and the transformation of frustration into gratitude for a 50% gift of price for instance.

Could not agree more. And this is why we must change the monetary paradigm from Debt ONLY to Strategic Monetary Gifting with a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale. It not only would immediately mathematically double everyone’s purchasing power but FAR MORE IMPORTANTLY it would be transform participating in the economy from a frustrating experience to the greatest opportunity to self actualize gratitude for a gift since meditation and prayer.

Plenty of good systemic economic insights, but still nothing about the human civilization-long problematic monopolistic monetary paradigm concept for the creation and distribution of all new money namely, Debt Only, which is at the core of our economic problems.
The short course in paradigmology is recognizing that every historical paradigm change has been characterized by a) complete conceptual opposition to the present paradigm, b) inversion of temporal universe reality, c) resolution of problems of the present paradigm and hence d) a new increased realization/conscious awareness of truth and expansion of possibility and e) the benefits of the new paradigm have always been an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace like for instance in the above case of the new monetary paradigm:
a) the conceptual opposition from Debt As In Burden To Completely Pay and/or Repay Only, to strategic Monetary Gifting, b) the temporal universe change from chronic individual monetary austerity to universal relative monetary abundance and hence from economic bondage to greater economic freedom and security, c & a) transforming the chronic erosive problem of inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation, d) an increased awareness of truth and expansion of possibility and e) gifting, abundance, increased freedom and security, problem resolution, transformation, new realization/increased awareness of possibility and mental expansion…are all aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace.
Integration of Opposites: The Process and Result of Wisdom…And Wisdomics
Perfect example is the 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale. Its the perfect integration of the opposite perspectives of micro and macro-eonomics and the Reason I titled my book Wisdomics-Gracenomics.
Macro-economics is about aggregates. Micro-economics is basically about individuals and individual factors and their effects.
Retail sale is the single universally participated in point in the entire economic process, hence a policy at that point is a SINGLE factor THAT ALSO EFFECTS THE AGGREGATE OF EVERYONE hence an integration of both micro and macro-economics.
The Natural Philosophical Concept of Grace: The Ultimate Beneficial Partnership Concept
Why? Because the major aspects of grace are integration, unity, synthesis, trinity/thirdness greater oneness and resolution of a problematic duality and loving action toward others and especially toward oneself, which of course is the ultimate loving unity.
All of these characteristics and experiences is why its so important to implement gracious policies into the economy and money system, especially at the point of retail sale because then everyone has the opportunity to experience and be influenced by these aspects. Its the ultimate mega-paradigm change.

Finance is going to be able to game any reform that doesn’t address the most underlying economic problem which is a monetary and economic paradigm that requires the individual to pay the full price at retail sale, and as the retail point of Finance is one’s mortgage or other big ticket item payment, the full price of that payment as well.
Back before we had digital technology, accounting and fiat money systems it was understandable that the consumer pay full price because otherwise commercial agents wouldn’t have been able to survive let alone profit. But we have those tools now, and that opens a way to end Finance’s domination of virtually every individual and every other business model except Finance. That way is a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at the point of retail sale which doing the equal debits and credits would mean that $100 worth of groceries would cost the consumer $50 but the merchant would get their full price of $100 (the consumer gets $50 of price credit but with the $50 rebate debited back to the merchant [created preferably by the central bank] they get their full price). Likewise, your mortgage or other big ticket item payment could be reduced by half which means you get a $500k house for the equivalent mortgage payment of a $125k loan. (The home builder reduces the price to $250k but gets a $250k rebate from the central bank making them whole on their discount, and at finance the bank creates the remaining 250k and it goes to the home builder so they are whole on their entire price and you have a mortgage of $250k…but the central bank pays 50% of your monthly payment to the bank so your total monthly payment is the cost of a $125k loan).
This paradigm changing policy makes government or the central bank a benificent partner with every commercial agent and every individual agent and as a kicker not only transforms the aggravation of chronic erosive inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation it also enables us (if we’re smart) to consciously encourage everyone to self actualize gratitude for a gift of 50% or more of price…everytime they go to buy something…which would undoubtedly raise the general psychological tone of…everyone. Visualize it.
Oh sure, Finance is going to object to the fact that it breaks up their civilization-long dominating monopoly monetary and economic paradigm…despite the fact that the potential market for $500k houses just got quadrupled and the likelihood of default on mortgages has been vastly reduced…but fuck them. They are few and we are many, and if you just keep broadcasting the incredible benefits of this single policy to the general populace you could throw any complicit and foot dragging politician out of office if they didn’t forthwith legislate the 50% Discount/Rebate and the rest of the evolving policy program you can see here: https://www.amazon.com/Wisdomics-Gracenomics-New-Monetary-Paradigm-Policies-ebook/dp/B0C49B9PX7/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1552358772&sr=1-1-catcorr
New Thread Debating William Ferrar On Robert Reich’s Substack
Me: Amend the FED’s charter and/or the government’s bank dominance enabling paradigm AKA Debt Only as the sole form and vehicle for the creation and distribution of all new money…so that they distribute money, not Debt Only, and thus with a 50% Discount/Rebate at retail sale they become economic partners with the individual. New paradigms are applied single ideas that change the realities of entire systems, consult history on that.
WF: Gibberish
Me: Not if you simply act out the policy’s effects for both the individual consumer and the retaill merchant. Then its a mind blowing experience. Clay demo the economic and monetary effects of the equal debits and credits.
WF: More gibberish
Me: No, accounting operations are not gibberish…no matter how much you might assert to the contrary/refuse to look at them.

Dave you’re such a great thinker. All of your thinking was intellectually spot on but I was getting ready to scold you for obsessing over problems…until you hit the home run of realizing that self actualizing agape is the solution. Why? Because self actualized agape is synonymus with self actualized grace which is love/agape in action IOW the active form of love AKA Loving. Its the epitome of Wisdom which is the superlative intellectual discipline and also the intellectual contemplation of solutions. Its not science, but as I like to say: “Science is wonderful, necessary and delicious…and it exists as a set entirely within the digestive tract of Wisdom….or should be so considered.”
My only additional comment would be: What if there was a way to incorporate agape/grace into a temporal universe system that everyone participates in and hence you’d have a temporal universe system that could evoke agape/grace/gratitude and so be an assist if not a supercharger to one’s inner work as well? And thats what my new monetary paradigm policy of a 50% Discount/Rebate at retail sale enables. And all we have to do is use the same method for creating money as the banks and governments do (equal debits and credits that sum to zero) except the money is created as a Gift/Gifting (major aspect of agape/grace) at retail sale…instead of only as debt. Doesn’t mean we abolish debt, only means we integrate Gifting into the present Debt Only system…which will actually create a thirdness reality which is a signature of Wisdom and every historical paradigm change. Wisdom is trinitarian thinking and acting (read a thirdness greater oneness/synthesis of a problematic duality. Instead of neo-classical economics lets have a Wisdomics-Gracenomics.
