Interesting vid especially regarding the fact that paradigms, like everything else in the cosmos, are evolving/emergent phenomena…even though new ones/new concepts are the answer to a/the present anomalous paradigm. Keeping those two facts in mind helps to prevent the problems of habit/acculturation and fetishization/religification so prevalent in human “thinking”.

But the problem still remains…what exactly is the new applied concept/paradigm…that will resolve the anomalies of the present paradigm…and thereby reset the evolving/emergent process in the system/systems under analysis??? Hint: Like the monopoly paradigm the Catholic church wielded before The Reformation which was Salvation Via Roman Catholic Sacraments ONLY, the present paradigm wielded by the collossus of Private Finance for the creation and distribution of all new money which is Debt ONLY…IS ALSO A MONOPOLY PARADIGM. And governments are (probably mostly unwitingly) complicent in this as well because they (lawfully) demand new money be created as debt instruments and so even though its mitigated by the fact that such are payments to the private sector (read overwhelmingly the wealthy and the banks) is hence another monopolization reinforcing tendency of the current paradigm. So lets have a monetary and economic reformation by integrating Strategic Monetary Gifting into the present Debt Only system thus breaking up the present monopoly paradigm.

Final question which is an essential one in the new body of knowledge called Paradigmology: What is the natural philosophical concept whose aspects are increased and new awareness, abundance, unity, universality, integration of opposites, synthesis/thirdness greater oneness of a problematic duality AKA wisdom…and gifting? Why grace of course. And thats why the paradigm changing economic and monetary system should be called Wisdomics-Gracenomics.

Please read this comment Nate. I’m not disputing any of the numerous current ways that you say inflation and deflation occur. However, you’re missing the most important fact regarding money which is its paradigm/applied concept. Currently the paradigm for the creation and distribution of ALL new money is Debt ONLY. The word ONLY designates it as a MONOPOLY paradigm. All monopolies are dominating and obstructive of change. As all new paradigms historically have always been in complete conceptual opposition to the new paradigm that would make Monetary Gifting the new paradigm which strategically integrated into the Debt ONLY system would break up that monopoly and resolve the major economic problems the present anomalous paradigm creates and enforces. The way to implement the new paradigm is the same way that all new money is currently created, that is with the double entry bookkeeping operations of equal debits and credits that sum to zero. So if you implemented a policy of a 50% Discount/Rebate at retail sale where retailers agreed to reduce their prices by 50% and then the central bank created the entirety of the merchant’s discounts back to them you created BENEFICIAL deflation and the merchant gets their full price with the rebate aspect of the policy so both merchant and consumer benefit and chronic erosive inflation is transformed into beneficial deflation because the consumer gets $100 worth of groceries for $50 and the demand for every one of the merchants goods and services is potentially doubled. There are many other benefits in the policies of the new monetary paradigm including the funding of incredible amounts of guaranteed investment in eco-energy R & D bonds which could greatly increase the likelihood of the survival of the planet and every living species on it.

…is a true thirdness greater oneness known as Wisdomics-Gracenomics. When Copernicus postulated helio-centrism instead of geo-centrism tracking the planets still wasn’t as accurate as the Ptolemaic paradigm. It took Kepler’s discovery of eliptical orbits to make it more accurate and to affirm the the new concept. Likewise, in order to transform economics we not only need to embrace Wisdom thinking which has always been considered “the third resolving way” hence Wisdomics, and we also need to understand that the beneficial effects of every historical paradigm change have always been an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace…like for instance universal abundance, increased stability, increased survival, increased freedom, increased unity, elimination of dominance via ethical alignment and hence a Gracenomics.

…by eliminating current discounts, then whatever percentage increase that amounts to will be substracted from their 50% Retail Discount. No games, no greed, only abundance for all economic agents both individual and commercial with the new monetary paradigm of Strategic Monetary Gifting.

No matter what measurement/rubric one uses in a system that is dominated by an anomalous paradigm its going to be either ineffective, inaccurate, inadequate and/or worst of all blinded by the various orthodoxies one brings to the analysis via their (unconscious) acculturation of the anomalous paradigm itself. Openness to a new applied idea/paradigm is an essential first in any objective and pungent pursuit of the truth.

Yep. And what we need is the application of the two classic concepts of Christianity, namely grace as in monetary gifting and the wisdom of trinity as in thirdness greater oneness solution to modernity’s false intellectual and scientific ideology of duality as in the Self versus the Other Only instead of the trinity of Self, the Other and an Ethic of Grace as in loving action.

Why? Because new ideas, that is new paradigm concepts, 1) self actualized in the mind, 2) embraced by the heart and 3) APPLIED outwardly toward others and in our temporal universe systems enables the progressive phenomenon known as paradigm CHANGE and simultaneously integrates the cosmos of self with the cosmos in general.

Toward the the end of the podcast “they’ll blame the institutionalization RATHER THAN THE UNDERLYING CONCEPT”. Exactly. The underlying PARADIGM CONCEPT is where the deepest part of the problem actually is. So analyze THERE while considering the signatures of historical paradigm changes like complete conceptual opposition, complete temporal universe inversion of reality and integrative thirdness greater oneness/synthesis/resolutions instead of focusing only on problematic systemic dualities/problems which at best result in mere palliative reforms or worse yet “solutions” like bitcoin…which is actually an opportunity for Oligarchs and Whales to benefit from financial speculation which is a moral and ethical problem waiting to happen.

Me: Amend the FED’s charter to create and distribute money as a rebated gift to enterprise at the point of retail sale in exchange for them discounting their prices by 50%. Too simple for the intellectual vanites of the erudite…too world changing not to be a paradigm change in economics and the money system.

J: Seriously? Giving the money to the enterprise is no different than a rebate to the customer. The enterprise gets the same price, the customer gets half off. Their money is doubled by that Latin word called “fiat”- let it be so- and it would be wildly inflationary. Doubling peoples’ purchasing power would just cause prices to double.

Me: Not if you taxed inflations above 2% per annum at a rate of at least 100%. That you would just allow enterprise to game and attempt to destabilze the greatest increase in demand for every enterprise’s goods and services is indicative of the fact that you believe that “free” market theoretics is actually free. IT ISN’T!!! It (as you indicated by thinking that it would just be a perfectly acceptable matter of course if the merchants greatly increased their prices DESPITE benefiting from the doubling of demand) shows how devoid of known and enforcable ETHICAL barriers “free” market theoretics actually is. Its called CHAOS…NOT FREEDOM!

There is no one as blind…as those who will not LOOK and SEE!

Allowing enterprise to do so is perfectly analagous to the following example: You just won the lottery and you and your friend go to redeem the ticket. Your friend however hits you in the face as hard as he can and takes your lottery ticket and redeems it himself…AND THERE’S NOTHING WHATSOEVER WRONG WITH THAT…AT ALL!
