This is so important to do. Science has become a quasi monopoly paradigm for intellectual inquiry and in numerous ways its blunted our perspective and our ability to resolve problems. Wisdom is about problem resolution not just problem identification. Science is about duality as in true/not true. Wisdom has always been associated with “the third resolving way”. In my book Wisdomics-Gracenomics: The New Monetary Paradigm and Its Policies I analyze the signatures of historical paradigm changes and the natural philosophical concept behind their beneficial effects…which just so happens to be the superlative concept and experience pointed at by all of the world’s major wisdom traditions. Besides finding policies that elicit all of these signatures they also resolve the deepest problems of modern economic systems and serendipitously create the greatest opportunity to self-actualize gratitude since meditation and prayer…because the primary policy implementation point for this evocation of gratitude is also the single universally participated in point (retail sale) in the single manditory participation system for ones very survival, namely the economy. So its a resolving integration of opposites…which is a signature of both historical paradigm changes and the mental impulse and operation of Wisdom itself.

Crass political demagoguery is repulsive. And his moral self justification is complete in every way. For instance his groping of E. Jean Carroll was not only of no moral consequence…it was actually virtuous behavior. ????????????????

The trinitarian zero sum reciprocality of the double entry bookkeeping operations of equal debits and credits enables both conceptual and temporal universe inversion and transformation of monetary and economic reality and thus entire pattern/paradigm change not just reform, palliation or worse yet, without recognition of this fact…the further entrenchment of domination by the powers wielding the present anomalous paradigm.

Retail sale is the unitary intersection of the universal and mandatory nature of economic participation as well as the beneficial personal and/or commercial purpose and self interest of all economic agents. Thus retail sale is the key point for monetary and economic policy implementation and effect.

All of the effects of the above facts are also the philosophical and personal/temporal universe aspects of the concept of grace which effects have also always been those attending the resolving wisdom of paradigm change. The philosophical concept and temporal universe active nature and effect of grace is at the heart of all permanent human progress. Thus what we need is the new body of knowledge AKA Wisdomics-Gracenomics.

I won’t dispute a lot of what you’re saying, but cynicism is the intellectual disease of modernity, I prefer Antonio Gramsci’s advice: “Pessimism of the mind, optimism of the will.”

Historically speaking, paradigm changes are permanent progressive phenomena, and everything short of that is either a palliative or a dodge. The only human phenomenon above a paradigm change is a new zeitgeist/ethic of the age, and the current zeitgeist which has been a problem since humanity became self aware and hence aware of the reality of ethics at all is Power, Profit and Control. The beneficial effects of every historical paradigm change have always been an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace as in the active expression of love, i.e. graciousness. Monetary Grace as in Gifting is an aspect of the natural philosophical concept of grace and of course love/loving is the ultimate ethic. So integrating Gifting into the economy and the money system at the point of retail sale (which everyone must and does participate in) is logically the next and most powerful self actualizing step we can take toward a new zeitgeist of Grace as in Redeemed/Redemptive Power, Profit and Control.

Contemplate the natural philosophical concept of grace…because:

1. its aspects are always the major effects of every historical paradigm change, and paradigm changes are permanent, progressive phenomena of both the mental and temporal universe…simultaneously
2. its aspects are recognized as the superlative human ethic and personal experience
3. its aspects are integrative of seemingly unresolvable dualities/opposites/problems to the point of thirdness greater oneness which is the signature of Wisdom Insights, that is they are deep resolving simplicities

Besides the signatures of “regular” paradigm changes

1. Its effects are universally experienced
2. Its effects are continuously experienced
3. It beneficially effects multiple systems, bodies of knowledge and/or areas of human endeavor
4. Its benefits include serendipity, that is its effects spill over into entirely unexpected areas and this is largely because of long standing unconscious acculturation of the present primary paradigm under analysis

The new monetary and economic paradigm includes all of these signatures.

Five Answers

1. US consumers and businesses
2. Never since they’ve never conceived of and refuse to consider a change in the monetary paradigm
3. The deficit isn’t a real problem because the interest on the treasuries are actually a payment to the private sector
4. Make the universe obey Trump’s delusional conception of such
5. Create money as a gift so it isn’t RE-distributed only distributed and implement a 50% Discount/Rebate at retail sale so chronic erosive inflation is transformed into beneficial price and asset deflation…exactly like libertarians would like to see happen…except for all of the unnecessary pain that the current monetary paradigm otherwise enforces.

Change the operant ideas in a system and you change the realities in that system. Change your mind by looking at the realities a new APPLIED idea/paradigm creates…and you’ll be wiser than 99% of those who cling to the problems of the present anomalous paradigm because they don’t have the guts to look past their own orthodoxies.

…or you could use double entry bookkeeping at the point of retail sale to reduce the price of a $500k house to $250k with a 50% Discount at that point…and then have the central bank rebate the $250k back to the home builder so their made whole on their entire price. THEN…because your monthly payment is the retail point of Finance the central bank pays 50% of your monthly payment so you’re actually getting a $500k house for the equivalent payment of a $125k loan.

So instead of (correctly) bitching about neo-classical theoretics ONLY and getting no place for various reasons like not dispensing with the mental framework of Debt ITSELF…you integrate a change in the nature of THE CONCEPT/PARADIGM of debt, resulting in doubling everybody’s purchasing power, avoiding any moral hazard because every merchant gets their full price, the market for $500k homes quadruples and you get to exploit the truest political truism that voters vote their pocket books and so we can get on to more important things like addressing the energy, ecology and climate problems.
