Because paradox and conceptual opposition have always been signatures of paradigm changes, and de-growth is only a reform while paradigm changes transform the key realities of entire systems/bodies of knowledge and areas of human endeavor.

This doesn’t mean that we need to continue to worship and pursue unlimited growth, but there are ways to mitigate consumption and resource usage while at the same time utilizing the new monetary paradigm of Gifting in intelligent and strategic ways that will enable us to change the deepest problem facing the ecology, and that is the paradigm of geo-production and resource discovery ONLY to cosmic-production and resource discovery.

They have a choice of investing in tax deductible eco-bonds at 5-6% (or other investments that will direct the super-organism toward sanity, that will fund the mega-projects necessary to confront the climate and energy crises, and a personal and corporate tax rate of 10%.

Or they can invest in non-sanity investments and pay a personal tax rate of 90% and corporate rate of 50%+.

Why? Because like Copernicus I came up with the exact new concept of Monetary Gifting.

Like Galileo, I discovered by actually and directly looking at a temporal universe reality point that enabled the new concept to be most efficaciously implemented which specifically was retail sale.

And like Kepler I consciously discovered the efficacious APPLIED tool by which the new concept could be implemented throughout the entire economic process and so solves the deepest problems of the current/old paradigm and even shores up anomalies in even the new concept, that being Accounting/Double Entry Bookkeeping.

Finally, I recognized that the natural philosophical concept of grace and its aspects was the concept and major effects behind every historical paradigm change, and integrated economics and spirituality by enabling us to make economics/commerce a universally participated in, everyday, continuous infrastructure for the individual self actualization of grace as in gratitude for a Gift. In other words, paradoxically, to transform economics from a mostly onerous experience into the greatest way to evoke love and thankfulness since meditation and prayer.

The aliens/future humans are here to hopefully discover/re-discover/evoke a lost or even a remembered way to integrate spirituality and economics that they either failed to develope or want to hasten along with our/their advanced technology…like the way that Wisdomics-Gracenomics both resolves our deepest economic problems and simultaneously makes participating in the economy a universally participated in, daily and continuous infrastructure via grace as in monetary gifting…and thus the greatest means of self actualizing gratitude since meditation and prayer.

New Policy: If A Component of Your Corporation’s Inflated Prices Are Goughing or A Raise In Your Executive Salary…you will not get your discount percentage indexed to any yearly inflation and the percentage of your inflated prices that such raises cause will be deducted from the 50% discount.

If a 100% increase in your personal purchasing power isn’t enough for you, its more a personal problem than a valid critique of the new paradigm.

those two mottos and politically “people vote their pocketbooks”, so do business people, is integrative of traditionally opposed socio-economic and political constituencies. Deepest, longest problems solved, ecologically doable and actually enables what we need to do to confront climate change namely run the fiscal deficits and private investments necessarry to confront climate change, mentally grasp the power of hope, faith as in confidence and grace as in doing the right and good thing.

Why is that? Because grace is everything and its opposite…integrated…both mentally and physically…including the opposites of mental and physical. Thats the quandry that the science of physics is grappling with, with particles vs fields when it should simply be both particles AND fields as the integrative and deepest thirdness greater oneness reality of the merely science acculturated apparency of duality.

Cynicism. It allows you to compliment yourself for being mature, learned and “observant” of history and wrong-doing…and stops you from doing a single thing about any of it.

Paradigm changes are the ultimate destroyers of anomalous orthodoxies and hence the cynicism that gathers within the minds of authorities, their followers and even unconsciously, the minds of reformers themselves. Thats why I often say regarding the new monetary paradigm: “Too simple for the intellectual vanities of the erudite, Too empirically world changing not to be a paradigm change.” So brush past and root out your cynicism…and wake the f#@k up, will ya!!??

Unfortunately, we don’t have a democracy, or rather we have a democracy severely hobbled by oligarchy.

The way to hasten and improve this process is to consciously recognize the driving idea behind significant progress in human history which is the natural philosophical concept of grace, and then personally and systemically apply its various aspects with the superlative integrative intellectual process also known as Wisdom. The perfect examples of this are the paradigm changes of human history.

Two of the patterns we presently need to apply the wisdom of grace to are the economy/money system, and paradoxically the gem of The Enlightenment, Science, which has slowly crystalized into the monopoly paradigm of Science Only. We’ve forgotten the importance and efficacy of the philosophical concept and experience of grace both individually and systemically while for the last 350 years simultaneously thrown out the baby of Wisdom with the bath water of pre-scientific religious orthodoxy. This is not in any way an affirmation of superstition or rejection of science, simply the recognition that science is wonderful, necessary and intellectually delicious…and it exists entirely within the intellectual digestive tract of Wisdom.

The Wisdom of the aspects of grace show the way toward a new and broader enlightenment.
