Such a good post Nate. What I think you’re saying is what I also consider the most underlying problem which is the mindset of Duality Only instead of an Integrative Thirdness Greater Oneness of Opposites IOW the Trinitarian mindset of Wisdom.
Wisdom has always been associated with “the third resolving way” and every paradigm change has always been an integrative resolution of opposites that increases knowledge and survival. What we need to ask ourselves is: What is the concept (and its various applicable aspects) behind both Wisdom and paradigm change?

The obvious answer to both disruptive/ and/or catstrophic unemployment is precisely what I have been posting about here for years. Systems were made for man, not man for systems. Strategic Monetary Gifting must be integrated into the present monetary paradigm for the creation and distribution of all new money of Debt Only or its serfdom forever at best or social chaos even the oligarchs and the bankers won’t be able to survive.
What Actually Needs To “Dwindle Away”
With the universal individual increase in the self actualization of gratitude (major aspect of the experience of grace) that the 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale and the rest of the policy program of the new monetary paradigm of Strategic Monetary Gifting will solidify, society will ethically evolve dwindling away the deepest problem humanity has been struggling with since forever which is the dominating effects of the monopoly monetary paradigm of Debt ONLY. Monetary Gifting won’t create chaos it will finally dispel it, not by eliminating Debt altogether which is just the establishment of a new monoply paradigm, but by establishing known and enforceable barriers WITHIN WHICH ACTUAL HUMAN FREEDOM CAN ONLY EXIST. Ethical thinking is the RATIONAL CONSIDERATION OF MERE/GROSS MORALS.
Hence establishing an ethic of grace/gratitude for monetary gifting increases rationality by thorough wholistic analysis of life’s problems and economic systems ending the INDIVIDUALLY AND SYSTEMICALLY DOMINATING monopoly monetary paradigm of Debt ONLY…WHICH IS WHAT WILL DWINDLE AWAY.

Of Freedom, Barriers, Chaos and the Wisdom of Grace
Lack or absence of known and enforceable barriers is actually chaos which is the opposite of freedom.
Implementing known and enforceable barriers actually creates freedom within those barriers.
The best way to increase freedom is to discover and implement the new key core concepts that change the present anomalous paradigm while maintaining and/or discovering even better, known and enforceable barriers.
Total freedom is a mistaken delusion in the human universe. Embrace the ethical truthfulness that there is only freedom within known and enforceable barriers by understanding that Wisdom and its superlative integrative, unitary resolving of opposites concept and experience of grace creates and expands freedom.
Embrace the beatific chains of grace.
The Wisdom of Grace: The One Thing That Hasn’t Changed, and The One Thing That Will Create More Graciousness Than Ever Before
Because grace is loving, that is, the active expression of love which is the universally recognized superlative human concept and experience and such action creates and re-inforces more graciousness/loving.
And the one most efficacious way to create the most grace is to find a way to evoke it in a universally necessary and participated in system…like the economy for instance with reciprocal price and monetary policy of gifting with a 50% Discount/Rebate at retail sale. Talk about a mega-paradigm change.
The Way To Embrace Change and Avoid Rigid Orthodoxy
Understand that one of the key aspects of the concept and experience of grace is process as in time which is where change/emergence does and must take place.
The Two Basic Monetary and Economic Problems
- The current monopolistic monetary paradigm that compels all new money to be created as Debt ONLY.
- The “free” market theoretical framework of macro-economics is a) delusional and a fetishization of the concept of freedom/freeness into TOTAL FREEDOM which b) morphs it into chaos/the actual absence of known and enforceable barriers which c) ignores the fact that in the human universe ethics not only matter but matter MOST and finally d) enables private finance to dominate and “control” the entire system and all economic agents with problem #1 above.
These two problems must be solved, NOT ignored, invalidated or palliated, and the way to resolve them is to analyze conceptually/paradigmatically and then discern the most efficacious ways to APPLY the new concept/paradigm…because history shows us that concepts rule and APPLIED new concepts resolve both mental and temporal universe/systemic problems.
The Discount/Rebate Applied To Tarrifs
The Paradigm of Retail Price/Exchange
The Consumer/recipient of goods and services ALONE must pay full price…or more. And again the point of exchange is retail price…and the retail point of Finance is one’s mortgage, auto or other big ticket item’s monthly payment. So a 50% Discount/Rebate at that point changes/breaks up the monopolistic nature of that present paradigm the same as it does for regular consumer goods.
Money Creation Via Double Entry Bookkeeping Is Money Creation…
…what matters though is the paradigm concept of its creation which also creates its temporal universe reality, and of course how efficaciously it is distributed. Like with a policy of a 50% Discount/Rebate at retail sale which is:
- a reciprocal gift of price dramatically and mathematically doubling individual purchasing power,
- which transforms chronic erosive inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation,
- which is a way to continuously implement both price and debt jubilee into the very fabric of the economic process, and last but most importantly, because everyone participates in or is effected by the price at retail sale, would be
- the greatest opportunity to self actualize gratitude for a gift since meditation and prayer.
Strategic Monetary Gifting, the next mega-paradigm change.
