The real question is:
Why should we try to stop the AI onslaught….when an evolution of the money system brought about by the integration of monetary Grace/monetary Gifting into our present debt based system would free us to have not only more abundant economic freedom, but both more leisure and more self determined control over participating in the myriad positive and constructive purposes other than work for pay???
Iconoclast,
Yes, I wouldn’t disagree with you that we need to switch toward solar/electrical as our primary source of energy, but you only make my point about the economy being entropic and that it requires an outside non-entropic system/tool/policy. And that the way to alter that vector is a non-entropic force, namely the monetary system to not just statically equilibrate it but in line with the insights of Steve Keen (whom I have run these monetary policy recommendations by for several years by the way) about the economy being in a continual state of disequilibrium, ….that is policies that create a higher, more individually freeing and systemically free flowing price deflationary DISEQUILIBRIUM….but which still fits seamlessly within profit making systems.
An awakening is occurring, and yet Keen nor any other economic theorist save Social Crediters have recognized the entropic nature of the economy in terms of the flow of total costs and the flow of individual incomes to liquidate those costs. They can see the dividend now, but they are still missing the need for the Discount. The Discount is really the more powerful policy mechanism of Social Credit in my opinion because it not only increases individual purchasing power, but because it can be a tool for not just accomplishing a static and momentary equilibrium, but changing the entire vector of the economy from entropic to non-entropic, i.e. from price inflationary to price deflationary…even within a profit making system. Keen taking a hint from Minsky quotes him as saying “the fundamental direction of capitalism is upward”….that is it is basically cost inflationary AND without a policy to deal with the fact that businesses seeing a steady increase in demand….will inevitably have a tendency to increase their prices…upwardly. Hence they haven’t yet cognited on the policy to deal with it that is consistent with profit making systems, with Grace as in Gifting and with Grace as in non-entropy that is a vector/direction toward more monetary and economic abundance, more monetary and economic freedom and a higher ethical system overall as well. God and his intention the gift of Grace is the ultimate non-entropic force….and the ascendant higher disequilibrating price deflationary vector/direction that the economy needs to take.
And a much greater accomplishment of those best aspects as well.
More Individual freedom, more business freedom, more economic free flowingness and less government bureaucracy.
More economic democracy, more granting of beingness (civil liberty) and more empowerment of the individual.
Hierarchical structure that is guided and transformed by the highest ethical concept and thus freedom from the corrupting effects of monopoly by either private or governmental forces.
Integration of the truths, workabilities and applicabilities of opposing orthodoxies is what is needed. Only a thorough integration will get us to what is a simultaneous conceptual and policy thirdness that is also a unifying oneness. And those policies must be ongoing and ethically ascendant as well. Grace as in Gifting is that missing monetary and economic concept, but for it to be truly effective and resolving the policies that result from that gifting must align with as many of the aspects of the concept of Grace as possible. Otherwise the temporal systems it is applied to will again descend into duality and unnecessary contentiousness.
This is neither merely natural philosophy nor supernatural religion, but an integration of both which is natural metaphysics/spirituality. And it is also of course Wisdom which being the best guide for both personal development and systemic policy….by definition can be neither irrelevant nor not of the highest ethical purpose and effect.
When economists and politicians and their pundits look back after a universal dividend and a discount to retail prices that actually creates a workable price deflationary trend in our profit making economies look back….they will be embarrassed that they did not see the possibility of doing that for years before hand . I have been advocating this now for a couple of years. I am the unorthodox Social Crediter who saw it first and declared it first, and the blogger and author of the books “Gifting: The New Economic and Monetary Paradigm” “Wisdomics/Gracenomics” and “The Cosmic Code”.
When two ideas, theories, conditions etc. are integrated sufficiently an ascendant, transformational Trinity-Unity-Vector/Direction can occur…if we are guided by Wisdom and its pinnacle concept and experience Grace. This is my discovery and my insight.
Total numerical money in ratio to total retail costs/prices is a misleading and irrelevant statistic.
Total Individual income actually available to spend in ratio to total retail costs/prices is an actual equilibrium.
And total individual income excess in ratio to total retail costs/prices, so long as you have a retail Discount mechanism, is the higher and freeing Disequilibrium.
The Discount mechanism increases the purchasing power of the individual, reduces the rate of cancellation of their incomes and provides the liquidity that indicates a healthy economy, namely the rate of the velocity of money. The rate of the velocity of money is in no way indicative of individual income, but rather the amount of overall money turn over in the economy. However, there is undoubtedly a relationship between the fall in the velocity of money and the trend toward less and less aggregate individual income.
The economic system is utterly embedded in the temporal universe which is entropic. Thus how can the economic system itself…have a vector toward and be anything but entropic as well?
The money system, being most basically an agreement/abstraction, does not have to necessarily abide by the supposed temporal laws of thermo-dynamics. That is it can be used to create both entropic (unbalanced) and non-entropic (equilibrium) purposes.
For instance, if the rate of flow of total costs exceeds the rate of flow of individual incomes in the normal and completely unfettered process/condition of the system and is the reality (an entropically cost inflationary and individual income deflationary condition) then the money system being digital in nature and also not being subject to entropy can balance it by costlessly gifting the individual and the business community in economically equilibrating ways. It can also be used not only to equilibrate the system, but to reverse its entropic nature/flow in favor of more individually freeing and systemic free flowing ways while maintaining profit making systems…and actually having price deflation within a profit making system.
Now lending by the Banks or distributing money by the government can somewhat mitigate the entropic nature of the economy, but as such private or governmental distributions either incur an additional flow of costs (lending) or go into the economy proper before they reach the individual as wages (governmental programs for infrastructure etc.) they necessarily maintain and re-initiate its naturally entropic condition.
Only direct Gifting to the individual and reciprocal Gifting by businesses to the consumer which is in turn Gifted back to merchants can actually resolve the entropically cost inflationary and individual income deflationary reality/condition of the economic system.

The cultural counterparts to the monetary and economic policies of a universal dividend and retail discount.
