In Steve Keen’s recent videos he uses dialectics to explain the expression of ideas in capitalist society. This is unfortunately an accurate insight yet neglects/forgets two things: It is the the repressive expression of the dialectic in both capitalism and socialism and so it fails the test of integration/integrative thinking which always contains a thirdness/oneness and also includes the highest ethical considerations of the two sides being integrated. Hence it falls back into dualism, inevitable conflict, little or no actual resolution, progress, evolution, wisdom or ascension.  One of Keen’s weaknesses is he theorizes only in terms of the static dualism of capitalism versus socialism when the integrative, wise, ethical and process characterized by continuous change expression of the dialectic should result in an actually new thirdness. This would be expressed thusly:

[ (capitalism/thesis x socialism/antithesis)  <–>  profit making monetary distributism/synthesis ]

And exteriorization of one’s consciousness itself from its own mind/normal considerations/personal orthodoxies….is an even more helpful means of new paradigm perception.

Me:  The EU is obviously a coalescing and dominating financial monopoly and the cultural mish mash of Europe has historically shown itself to be chaos and war waiting to happen. If there was ever a time for a genuine third alternative this is it. But it requires the wisdom and the willingness to integrate only economic and monetary truth while dropping ideology and orthodoxy.

Robs:  That’s the trouble with philosophies that depend on welfare – the EU elites are in love with globalism as long as someone else pays for it. Welfare never brings people together, it slowly tears them apart.

Me:  Re-distributive welfare will do exactly as you say. Monetary grace as in gifting strategically applied so that a modern economy can actually be free flowing…is an entirely other thing.

Complexity and inherent variability cannot be guided effectively by, or reduced to mere empirical laws….and that is why an economic system so characterized requires a new philosophical and ethical concept that reflects and encompasses even complexity and inherent variability. This is the conclusion of sages and other practical and objective individuals of good will down through history.

The whole truth is there is a counterfeit “third way”which is covert agenda mongering….and a genuine third way which is a genuine integration of opposing perspectives. Counterfeits, both conscious and unconscious can be found on both sides of the aisle. The way to insure a genuine integration is to understand the rules of integration which are: Combining only the truly resolving truths, workabilities, applicabilities and HIGHEST ethical considerations of apparently opposing perspectives.

Is it reactionary/arrogant/power driven or integrative/wise/loving. In other words does it advocate the combining of only the particles of truth, workability and the highest ethical impulses in apparently opposing theories which will actually result in a third more unified and freeing whole, or is it driven by a hidden one sided agenda.
