The short story is Learning The Wisdom of Grace. The rest of the story proceeds,
Caps are meant for emphasis not shouting.
Social Credit was an interesting and VERY POPULAR WORLD WIDE MOVEMENT back between the world wars, but its policy of a compensated retail discount was only meant to be a smallish percentage to counter inflation and so it would have been gamed by commercial agents practicing greedflation and so its economic effects nullified. Thats because Douglas although a very clear minded individual still remained within the economic mental horizon of General Equillibrium and “free” market theoretics plus Social Credit existed before the entire subject of paradigms had been analyzed. Thus it was just a very good palliative, but not a paradigm change which is all the difference in the world.
A large/50% Discount/Rebate policy flips the mental and temporal universe reality (a classic signature of paradigm changes) from chronic erosive systemic inflation to BENEFICIAL INDIVIDUAL deflation, invalidates the orthodoxy of The Quantity Theory of Money, supercharges the individual’s economic and monetary benefits and punishes/eliminates the temptation of greedflation because if a commercial agent raises their prices by say 10-20% how much market share is that anti-social CEO going to lose to the one who doesn’t inflate or even competes by lowering their prices to show the consumer that they actually have good will toward their consumers which is the most valuable commodity a business can possess. In my book I also suggest additional policies that solidify the new paradigm’s effects.
Yes, cynicism is the intellectual disease of modernity, but the key to changing that is to DIRECTLY broadcast the INDIVIDUAL benefits over the systemic ones which is also a signature of SUCCESSFUL historical paradigm changes and enables Victor Hugo’s correct observation that “the one thing all of the armies of the world cannot resist is an idea whose time has come.” Its time to change the 8000 year old monetary paradigm of Debt ONLY.
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.
