I don’t mind being called a thinker, thinking is good. However, the supreme compliment to me is being called an experiencer, a knower.

Human caused climate change is real, full stop. Even more intimidating is our primary energy resource oil is the biggest factor in climate change…and its obviously a finite resource that very likely has peaked. No amount of right wing nit picking and poor liberal policy making will solve the enrgy problem.

We need a paradigm change from geo-production and resource discovery to cosmic-production and resource discovery and the only way to accomplish that is to turn chronic erosive inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation using the accounting operation of equal debits and credits that sum to zero at retail sale, point of loan signing and throughout the entire economic process.

Banishing inflation will enable the kind of focused rational investment and fiscal deficits needed to fund the research and development mega-projects necessary to confront the two problems in the first paragraph.

Try thinking about the fact that Austrian/Libertarian economic theory WANTS deflation its just that creating that with monetary austerity is the exact same universally painful blunt instrument as FED monetary policy. However, if you simply utilize the accounting operation of equal debits and credits at retail sale and point of loan signing you mathematically implement beneficial deflation that doubles everyone’s purchasing power and potentially doubles the demand for every enterprise’s goods and services which is the very definition of good economic times.

American exceptionalism certainly has its negative effects as you point out, however what I don’t get is why, despite having recognized double entry bookkeeping’s use as a tool for economic analysis, you haven’t recognized its incredibly beneficial monetary policy effects at the strategic points of retail sale, point of loan signing and as a benefit stabilizing factor throughout the entire economic process. ??? How about a podcast on that?

The natural philosophical conceptof grace is the concept behind every historical paradigm change and an aspect or aspects of same are the effects of all new paradigms. Hence study and contemplate the concept of grace and apply the relevant aspect of grace to the area of human endeavor under analysis…and the new paradigm concept becomes conscious to you in a focused way.

There are other ways to bring focus and enlightenment like heeding the imminent and accomplished signatures of historical paradigm changes like: 1) increasing anomalies of the current paradigm, 2) increasing rigidity and resistance to change, 3) sociological and psychological confusion, 3) political deadlock, 4) complete conceptual opposition to the current paradigm/paradox and 5) integrative thirdness greater oneness of a current duality

Chronic, erosively harmful inflation will be inverted into mathematically, temporally and individually beneficial price and asset deflation

Hyperinflations are rare because several disastrous things must occur first and all of these things are easily avoidable

Indexing for inflation

Competition is still alive and high percentage of gifting at retail/high inflation will be terminally punished by taxation and market share will also be lost by greedy high inflations

“Free” market theory is a complete misnomer for the current actual reality which is alternately goosed and strangled financial chaos (absence of all or opposing barriers) because there is freedom in the human universe only amongst known and enforceable barriers and there is currently no such effective and mathematical barrier

Your analysis is sound. Its only problem is it exists virtually entirely within the current paradigm for the creation and distribution of new money which is Debt Only. There are many ways to maintain the ethical nature of monetary contracts while strategically implementing the new monetary paradigm of Direct and Reciprocal Monetary Gifting…which will solve many more problems in the economy and elsewhere than the current paradigm allows.

KM: I will continue to argue, as I’ve done with Steve Keen, that, although the mainstream economic analysis is incorrect, the reason for it’s intransigence is a political, rather than an academic one.

Me: Kevin: You are absolutely right. Theoretics/systemic analysis no matter how accurate generally does not analyze on the conceptual/paradigmatic level. This is why Keen hasn’t so far consciously perceived the new paradigm concept and so his analysis is incomplete and lacks focused analysis on HOW to implement it.

New paradigms are new, operantly APPLIED phenomena. What we require is conscious awareness of the specific new concept and how to best implement it. As a genuine new paradigm concept changes the ENTIRE nature of a system, body of knowledge, area of human endeavor by beneficially resolving the old/current paradigm’s anomalies its THE solution, and all it further needs is a socio-economic and political mass movement to communicate those benefits.

We can look directly at the problematic operations in the economy, but still miss the importance of the ideas/paradigm concepts BEHIND those operations. Keen has said: “Neo-classical economists ignore money, debt and banks, because if they didn’t they would have to admit that the money system de-stabilizes the economy.” But he did not perceive that the monopoly paradigm for the creation and distribution of new money of Debt ONLY (the word ONLY designates it as such) is what enforces de-stabilizing debt deflation and that strategically and DIRECTLY integrating the new paradigm of Monetary Gifting at points within the economic process is what will end the current monopoly paradigm and resolve its problems.

I have trained myself to think conceptually about facts, and then to synthesize that thinking and find the best and most relevant human and temporal applications of such analysis.

And it would have the same world changing and beneficial effects. Fundamentalist, literalistic Christianity in its fetishization of Jesus is far too often a reversion to the moralistic dominance that was afflicting Judaism in the first century.

Epistemelogically self actualization/personal experience is way above faith in any particular dogma.

Thats it, because the entire economy exists within the infrastructure of accounting/double entry bookkeeping which utilizes this operation and so discount/rebate policies strategically implemented at retail sale, point of loan signing and at other points throughout the entire economic process wildly benefits everyone, resolves our deepest and thorniest economic problems and even enables us to proceed toward ecological sanity with post haste.

It is extremely ironic that this equation process has been going on a hundred million times per day since accounting was invented, yet no one but me saw it, innovated it and discovered the various ways to implement it. Brush past your cynicism which because its not a valid critique of anything and because its about 3 microns above total apathy and so never solved anything…and lets have the greatest paradigm change since we, partially, emerged from the animal kingdom 120,000 years ago.

Interesting podcast and It would be good to have all of the regenerative cultural, agricultural etc. realities mentioned, but the truth is the best and fastest way to get there would be turning participating in the economy into an everyday, universally participated in infrastructure for the self actualization of gratitude via a new paradigm of monetary gifting implemented by a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale and a double gifting policy at point of loan signing.

Historically every legitimate paradigm change has been a “lifting of the veil” by learning to apply an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace. In this economic case like monetary gifting and its mental and emotional response of gratitude. You want a sane and loving society help people realize grace as in love in action.

Very good, very good podcast, but not quite cogniting on what will solve both the problem of money and our lack of conviviality in society. Bothness/Dualism, operantly integrated, is the solution, and results in what I refer to as the cosmic code of wisdom which is a thirdness greater oneness of the truths, best workabilities, most relevant applicabilities and highest ethical considerations in the apparent opposites of a duality. Every historical paradigm change has been an example of this wisdom. In fact new paradigm concepts are synonymous with wisdom insights because they are both Deep Resolving Simplicities born out of fundamental integrations of apparent opposites. Find the operant concept that strategically applied results in thirdness.
