You’re quite right. The enlightenment was an incomplete zietgeist change that enabled the bathwater of prescientific religious dogma to be increasingly replaced by the monopoly paradigm for intellectual inquiry AKA Science Only instead of helping us self actualize spirituality/the natural philosophical concept and experience of grace. Religious dogmas are mistaking the map of spirituality for its actual topography.

I’m sure that is a sarcastic reply, but until robotics and AI eliminate a high percentage of employment it would destroy the economic impulse which is unbalanced. Once that happens you’ll need to have the acculturation of a Paid Required Positive Purpose(s) Policy fill in people’s time that employment formerly did. As I have pointed out here before the beneficial and progressive aspects of every historical paradigm change have always been an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace. Balance, free flowingness and (higher) purpose are all aspects of grace. Finally, in the temporal/time universe you have to have a problem before you can craft a solution at least until you’re up to being conscious enough to self actualize grace on your own. Prematurely throwing people into the chaos of purposelessness is just the equally unwise flip side of domination by Finance’s monopoly paradigm of Debt Only.

Musk is an orthodox libertarian and so believes economic delusions and additionally does not understand the money system. The economic and monetary solution to our problems is the 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale because the discount doubles everyone’s purchasing power by implementing beneficial price and asset deflation BY ADDING MONEY TO THE ECONOMY…THE HEADS OF THE ORTHODOX EXPLODE AND THE QUANTITY THEORY OF MONEY IS RESIGNED TO THE DUST BIN OF HISTORY. Meanwhile, with the FED simply creating the money (not treasuries) of the rebate aspect of the policy the commercial agent gets their full price so no moral hazard there and the interest factor, which isn’t actually the problem the libertarians and also the democrats love to demagogue BECAUSE THAT INTEREST IS ACTUALLY A PAYMENT TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND HENCE A PART OF GDP.

The idea that they have their consumer’s best interests in mind. And thats why the new Department of Competition, Innovation and The Public’s Bully Pulpit would be so effective because if they simply inflated/committed “greedflation” at its weekly news conference they would get the finger pointed at that anti-social act and the public would be asked what they were going to do about it.

I remember sitting on the grass in our front yard in Milledgeville Illinois and looking up at the sky and the clouds. It was a truly wonderful and beautiful experience. I couldn’t put a word to it at that time of course because I was still in “the wonder years”, but being lucky enough to remember it has enabled me to serially tap into its grandeur and realize that life, living and consciousness of the moment, each moment, is the greatest human blessing possible.

The ability to think or perceive a truly new, conceptually completely oppositional and yet thoroughly integrative thought, in other words a synthesis/trinitarian/thirdness greater oneness thought, and then discover how to best implement that idea, is the rarest of human capabilities. Its the very impulse and process of the superlative intellectual discipline known as Wisdom.

Regulate the bond market in ways that prevent speculative excess and always have the FED ready to buy any and all of them. Meanwhile double everyone’s purchasing power with a 52% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale which ends inflation. Then proportionally tax every enterprise that increases their prices more than 2% at a rate of 100%. Meanwhile, on a sliding scale “tax”/withold Gifted money into 5-6% eco-energy & infrastructure treasury bonds which mitigates consumption while directing investment toward rational planetary goals.

Systems were made for Man, not Man for systems.

That way the idea of Monetary Gifting being integrated into the economy at retail sale and hence for EVERYBODY…can remain unfulfilled for ANOTHER 8000 years.
