Subsidizing a particular industry or corporate entity is biased, harmful and old paradigm. Subsidizing every individual and commercial agent in a beneficial way so that it rejuvenates and makes profit making economic systems more profitable, more humane and free flowing….is paradigm changing.

The one is reactionary and biased, the other rational, ethical, generally beneficial and so unbiased.

In the new paradigm unions will be strong again because there will be options to middle class incomes other than employment only. Hence they won’t have “the reserve army of the unemployed” weakening their leverage anymore. Also, the monopoly money creating power of the private banks will be eliminated due to the fact that we will have a publicly administered national bank that not only is able to loan money at 0% interest, but also participate in the discount/rebate policy further reducing prices and increasing potential individual purchasing power.

The entire philosophical thrust of business will tend toward grace as in greater prosperity and profitability for business and grace as in cooperative flow between business and employees rather than the obsessive contention we see now or even the dominance of forcing rip gut wages on the helpless populace. ….and if employers fall back into such ungracious behavior despite the many benefits Wisdomics-Gracenomics will bring them there’s always public scorn and painful sin taxation to help guide/induce them back toward grace as in humane consideration for the Other.

A new paradigm must fit seamlessly within the relevant and aligned structures of the old pattern while transforming it with its new singular concept. This is why the paired policies of a universal dividend and a 50% discount/rebate throughout the entire length of the legitimate economic/productive process qualify for such paradigm changing status. The policies utilize the same digital nature of the pricing, debt based money and accounting systems, the latter of which is the underlying and completely integrated infrastructure upon and within which virtually every transaction is recorded and classified. Economists being almost entirely caught up in three times removed abstraction and generally having no education about or reality of double entry bookkeeping have overlooked this fact and also missed its significance.

Luckily, you don’t have to deal with removing a lot of the abstract fluff or major fallacies of economics in order to see the direct beneficial relevance to your lives that these policies will immediately bring. You don’t have to have an encyclopedic knowledge of economics…just be able to see the actual physical universe effects of the policies…and then be willing to communicate to your political representatives how much you want them implemented to the betterment of all.  And that is what I hope you will help me do.

History will condemn Trump even if the law does not convict him. In this regard he has already lost. Wisdom is the discernment of truth when it is most in danger from lies, obscuration, deflection and when even good people get caught up in a cult of personality and cannot or will not confront it. Let us have wisdom and the rule of law, not willful or mistaken denial of the truth.

Wisdom being the integration of both deductive and inductive reasoning, and the pinnacle concept of wisdom being grace as in flow/free flowingness it might behoove economists to consider learning how to garner and use both to craft policy out of the complexity. In fact such policies might be used to create a dynamic linearity where complexity currently exists primarily to obscure and maintain monopolistic dominance.

A universal dividend is the expression of economic democracy and a 50% discount/rebate policy implemented at the point of sale throughout the entire economic/productive process including retail sale which is the terminal expression point for any and all forms of inflation and so linearizes painless and beneficial price deflation. The rebate makes everyone whole on their overheads and profit margins and doubles everyone’s potential purchasing power. You want the return of a healthy middle class….consider it.

Just sayin’….

The thoughtful and integrative answer….is always the best and correct one….because integration of the truths in opposite perspectives is the very process of Wisdom. When in doubt integrate….and keep on integrating. Trump has either forgotten this or never learned it in the first place and so he can only use obsessive contention and demagoguery to keep the otherwise well intentioned people of his base loyal to him via a kind of cult of personality we have seen historically in places like Nazi Germany, Communist Russia and Maoist China. Such DOES NOT belong here in the US.

Me:  Changing the curriculum is fine, but if we’d focus on developing new paradigm/pattern perception by attending to the history and signatures of paradigm changes, then changing it would become a straightforward logical process…because all you’d need to do is align policies and structures with the new single concept of the pattern….and then we wouldn’t have to endure another decade or 5000 years to actually “get somewhere”.

Humanity has become so enamored of and stuck in Science Only for the paradigm of inquiry that they have lost track of the paradigm of Wisdom which includes science, which enables one to discern clearly within complexity like good open minded science aspires to and of the fact that every scientific break through/paradigmatic change is an integration of the scientific method and an aspect of human consciousness via its tool of wisdom.

Stop looking through the wrong end of the telescope and carry on.

DT:  Would that life were so simple, Craig! In order to focus on the pattern of paradigm change we have to articulate it so it can be seen, which is what my crossed diamond diagram is all about. But even with that, though on paper all we have to is redesign policies, in reality every person begins by knowing nothing, and it has to be communicated to him in face of noise from others who have not yet seen it, or are still so committed to the old paradigm that they are unable to see it.

Me:  The singular concept aspect of a new paradigm is exceedingly simple, the way it fits into the aligned temporal structures of the economy and transforms the entire pattern is the thing that is somewhat more complicated and completes and confirms the single concept’s qualification as a new paradigm.

There are additional policies, aspects and changes with my Wisdomics-Gracenomics, but the two policies I continually reference here actually accomplish the paradigm change all by themselves because they resolve the two most basic problematic conditions of modern economies, chronic inflation and systemic austerity/scarcity of individual income.

You’re quite right that people “have to see it” which is why we need to create a grass roots movement to show/play out the temporal universe effects of these two policies at which time they can see that it immediately ends poverty, makes everyone with even a part time job a member of the upper middle class and has many other beneficial economic, political, social and psychological effects.

It’s easy for me because I’ve always had an integrative perspective, and have studied paradigms, wisdom traditions and economics from the best for the last 10 years which has enabled what I refer to as paradigm perception which is really just an adjunct temporal ability of the consciousness raising and self actualizing tool known as wisdom.

Me: Tweaking like the reforms that came out of the great depression leave virtually no more room for changes….without considering the new paradigm of Direct and Reciprocal Monetary Gifting…so why would we expect any changes when Finance’s monopoly powers must yield if the new paradigm is to implemented and economists are still stuck in the paradigm of Debt Only for the form and vehicle for the distribution of income? Economists have been ruminating over the problems of the current paradigm when mentally stepping out of the old paradigm is what is required. Einstein said this, R. Buckminster Fuller said this, Thomas Aquinas said this, Aristarchus of Samos/Copernicus said this…but economists don’t seem to get the point. They’re stuck. They NEED to get unstuck.

KZ:  There is one and only one way to create an understanding of the associations that make up the life of any group of Sapiens, large or small. That way is direct observation. And even this way is filled with pitfalls. The observations can be poorly performed. The observer(s) can fail to be diligent. What’s observed can be misunderstood or lied about by those being observed. Observers can be hostile to the subjects of observation. And many others. If done with care and honesty, however, observations will provide not only a representation of the group’s actions but also of what they mean for the group and how the group explains the actions. In terms of this way theories from the observer(s) are irrelevant. The only theories reported and examined should be those of the observed. In the physical sciences observer theories are important, but not so in the social sciences where it’s the observed’s associations we’re seeking to describe and understand. Too many social scientists, including economists operate with the reverse understanding of their job. Which, of course reduces most of their work to parody and triviality.

Me:  Very true. Ultimately how accurate theorist’s assessment is, most often depends upon what the hierarchy of their values is and their willingness and ability to consider and mine truth from apparent opposites.

Mankind is dominated and manipulated by ruling paradigms it has in some intances carried around in its head since the inception of civilization. For instance technology has been trying to lift the so called curse of Adam in the form of the paradigm of Employment Only For the Distribution and Vehicle of Income…and finance whether private or public has been happy to snatch the increase away via its paradigm of Debt Only for the same.
