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.

Systems were made for Man, not Man for systems. C. H. Douglas

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 Two Basic Monetary and Economic Problems

  1. The current monopolistic monetary paradigm that compels all new money to be created as Debt ONLY.
  2. 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 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:

  1. a reciprocal gift of price dramatically and mathematically doubling individual purchasing power,
  2. which transforms chronic erosive inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation,
  3. 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
  4. the greatest opportunity to self actualize gratitude for a gift since meditation and prayer.

Strategic Monetary Gifting, the next mega-paradigm change.

Systemic/Scientific/Reductive analysis is all well and good and Dr. Keen’s use of these is excellent. However, doing so doesn’t penetrate to the deepest and most powerful level which is the conceptual/paradigmatic level. As Einstein said: “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler”. Well, we know that paradigms are single concepts that create new mental and temporal universe realities. THATS SIMPLE, POWERFUL, DEEP AND PERMANENT CHANGE…unlike systemic analysis alone which without recognizing the current paradigm and implementing the new core and operant concept will never achieve more than palliative reforms or worse yet get morphed into something like delusive neo-classical economic theory.

To analyze paradigmatically you have to get past some mental hurdles like acculturative unconsciousness, the egoistic tendency to frame everything as a duality only IOW only morally right and wrong instead of ethically…since ethics are the rational consideration of morals…and thinking with the mindset of trinity/thirdness greater oneness because Wisdom/the mindset of integrating opposites in order to find solutions to apparently unresolvable dualities…has always been associated with “the third way”. Finally, you have to get inside of the primary new paradigm concept itself and look for additional reinforcing aspects of it that will stabilize and increase its reality and workability. Kepler’s discovery of elliptical orbits instead of perfect circles was what really made helio-centrism more accurate than geo-centrism for instance. Viz the new monetary and economic paradigm of Strategic Monetary Gifting which ends the current monopoly paradigm of Debt Only as the sole form and vehicle for the creation and distribution of all new money, this would be looking at the additional monopoly paradigm of The Consumer Alone Must Be The ONLY Agent To Pay Full Price. Break that monopoly up by having the government or central bank pay for 50% of the price of everything at retail sale with new MONEY instead by Debt ONLY…and you transform chronic erosive inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation, double everyone’s purchasing power…and make debt jubilee continual instead of a one off that doesn’t actually solve the Debt ONLY paradigm because it leaves the private banks in control of it.
