“In order to get rid of the system we have to offer it to the neo-liberal economists.” No! You offer it to the general population along with all of the other wildly beneficial and problem solving policies I’ve advocated on podcasts and websites like these for years. Thats how you herd the entirety of the economic theorists and the political apparatus toward the new monetary and economic paradigm, namely Monetary Grace as in Gifting.

The Philosophical concept and experience of grace as in love in action/systemic policy (not necessarily its oft attending religious orthodoxies) is indeed the concept behind the new monetary and economic paradigm, and all historical new paradigms/paradigm changes. Why? Because paradigms being single operant applied problem resolving concepts are wisdom insights themselves. Like helio-centrism instead of geo-centrism, agriculture, homesteading and urbanization instead of nomadic hunting and gathering

So all wisdom insights/new paradigm concepts are 1) deep problem resolving simplicities and 2) the universally acknowledged supreme human value is love and 3) grace/graciousness is the active form of love. Its all philosophically aligned and finding the most efficacious ways to implement policy (the actions of systems) that reflects an aspect of grace is also the most problem resolving way out of an anomalous current paradigm and the freedom and advancement of the new one. Anything necessarily illogical or anti-historical about that Mr. Gantz?

**********************************

Wisdom is the superior mentally dynamic and integrative human discipline and grace is its pinnacle concept. This integrative dynamism reflects and characterizes the very process of systems analysis and its feedback loops. Again, if one models aspects of grace into policy and that enable the better integration of feedback loops in systems analysis you’re probably going to get better flow, stability and process…all of which not coincidentally are aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace.

********************************************

You create a mass movement by those who have large platforms on the various social media to communicate the benefits of policies that align with the concept behind every paradigm change…directly to the general populace. Putting politics or economic reforms or or any other method first is putting the cart before the horse. We need to communicate how integrative policies aligned with aspects of grace will result in a true thirdness greater onenesss of the obsessive dualism we’re so currently afflicted with. Remember Hegel’s thesis, antithesis and synthesis. His dialectic is a guideline for dynamic thorough integration…and just another confirmation that aspects of grace, i.e. thorough integration are always the fruit and signatures of paradigm change. By the way the best way to mitigate and resolve climate change is to expand the time we have to battle it. So why don’t we use petroleum fertilizers to seed ocean flora in the polar regions, thus by increasing the planetary albedo re-freezing them and giving us another century to under and off planet the worst carbon emitting means of production thus infinitely expanding its framework and diluting its negative effects. Expansiveness. Another aspect of the concept of grace.

Wisdom/Paradigmatic Analysis and Their Operant Concept

Wisdom and Paradigm Perception are alike integrative/operant concept disciplines. The question is what is the integrative/operant concept behind both of them.

Well, as love is the pinnacle spiritual value according to all of the world’s Wisdom traditions and grace is the active form of love, then grace/graciousness in behavior and systemic policy seems to be the answer.

Visualize an economics, politics, social contract and psychology and ecology of grace.

Keen is excellent at exposing the problems of the system within its present paradigm…and worthless so far as discerning and marketing the new paradigm. His cynicism is about two microns above total apathy and so why even try? He’s a walking talking example of how Sun Tsu the great Japanese military strategist said was the best way to win a war which was convince the other/new paradigm side that you can’t possibly win against the current paradigm side. Steve Grumbine had it nascently right when he said we need to all have accounts at the FED. That would set up being able to borrow from the FED at 0% which of course would be the beginning of the end of the private profit-making banking system. Then, you could also implement my innovative paradigm changingh policies of a 50% Discount/Rebate at retail sale which would macro-economically end inflation forever and also implement a 25-50% debt jubilee policy at the point of loan signing from the FED. The 50% rate is if the loan is for some ecologically sane purchase/purpose and lesser purposes get a lower rate. These policies are so beneficial for every individual and commercial agent that they are ideas whose time has come, which historically has always been the case with new paradigm concepts. All they actually need is a platform to communicate them to the general public. Keen should study the signatures of imminent and accomplished paradigm changes. It would raise his mental and emotional tone level.

Yes, in fact there’s an abstract vs direct looking at the temporal universe effects of policy disconnect in economic analysis. This blind spot inhibits genuinely new insights. For instance, if one looks directly at the point of retail sale one realizes that it is the one known universally participated in/experienced point in the entire economic process. (The point of loan signing is probably the second most participated in point.) That means that a monetary policy of a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at that point would be aggregative.

That is actually a new macro-economic insight.

This insight along with the equal debits and credits summing to zero additional costs for commercial economic agents at that point with the above policy…resolves some of the deepest economic problems we don’t otherwise seem to be able to get a grip on.

Yes, yes, yes we will need to intelligently regulate/incentivize/dis-incentivize in order to stabilize inevitably less than entirely rational and ethical agents, but thats 1) doable, 2) what else is new and 3) if one examines historical paradigm changes its easy to see that everything adapts to a new paradigm, not the other way around. This is because paradigm changes are always new insights on temporal universe truth and also always result in virtually universal benefits to all accept those who cling to the old paradigm thought pattern. Private banking with their monopolistic monetary paradigm of Debt Only and neo-liberal economists beware.

One final thought here. The tool of accounting is a temporal universe reality creating and pinning mechanism. In other words it tends create present moment realities and to pin one’s attention to the present moment. Coming directly and continuously into the present moment has always been associated with personal and even cosmic enlightenment. Let that zenny fact sink in, especially if you’re a banker or believe in neo-liberal macro.

The Vision Of The New Monetary and Financial Paradigm

It’s actually a very old and unfortunately mostly forgotten vision (the Wisdom of grace/graciousness) that has finally found a way to be effectively and thoroughly integrated into the most powerful temporal universe reality that everyone participates in, namely the economy and the money system. And that universally participatory fact makes it probably only the third mega-paradigm change in the history of the human species.

System’s analysis is great and necessary, but system’s philosophy is even more important and leads to deeper analysis.

For instance, system’s philosophy properly learned can help one become more comfortable with ambiguity which usually tends to help one avoid rigid mental alligiance to an orthodoxy. It also directs one’s analysis directly onto concepts, and as paradigms are operant applied concepts it could enable one to more easily discern a new paradigm concept.

Direct and Reciprocal Tarrif and 1% Gift Policy

If China or any other country we import products or resources from raise their prices we will slap a tarrif of the total increase in price on any such inflated prices plus 1%. The tarrif revenue plus 1% will then be rebated back to the enterprises that imported those goods essentially turning a cost increase problem into a benefit for the business.

This policy is perfectly reflective of both the same accounting method the 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale and of the new monetary and financial paradigm itself.

The importing enterprise will need to pledge that they themselves will not inflate their prices in order to receive the benefit of the tarrif policy, and if they break that pledge they will suffer loss of the rebate and 1% gift for 1 month the first time and the second time they do so despite reciving a gift they will lose both the rebated tarrif and the 1% gift altogether.

So long as we fail to analyze on the operant concept/paradigmatic level these crazy instabilities will continue and we’ll never get a regulatory regime that keeps things stable.

It’s not Debt ITSELF that is the problem it’s the monopolistic paradigm for the creation and distribution of new money…of Debt ONLY. The word ONLY designates it as a monopoly CONCEPT as in monopoly PARADIGM concept.

A 50% gift of price to the consumer at retail all of which is rebated back to the merchant granting it by the monetary authority utilizes the accounting method the private banks utilize to create 95-97% of our money. All kinds of benefits result from this single policy as I have posted here many times before, but the biggest benefit is it integrates the new monetary and financial paradigm of Monetary Gifting into the presently monopolistic paradigm of Debt ONLY.

A 25-50% debt jubilee at the point of loan signing (the percentage depends upon whether the purchase or purpose is ecologically sane or not) integrates debt jubilee CONTINUOUSLY into the economic process and the current Debt ONLY paradigm….instead of just pecking away ineptly at the current monopoly paradigm for ever shortening periods of crisis.

Why don’t you plug these policies into Minsky and see if it doesn’t stabilize things?

And of course the entire taxation and regulatory framework will need to be changed in order to align it with the new paradigm and the natural philosophical concept behind every historical paradigm change namely grace. That’s why I call the new economics Wisdomics-Gracenomics. Am I some gross moralist or religious fundamentalist? No, I’m probably the biggest agnostic and anti-anthropological theism advocate you could ever meet, but I refuse to throw the baby of Wisdom out with the anti-scientific bathwater.

Think on these things and maybe you’ll become a system’s philosopher like R. Buckminster Fuller, who talked alot about new paradigms urged us to become, instead of only the best economist on the planet.
