Absolutely no argument with the fact that speculative excess and neo-classical economic theory combined with Trump’s failure to factor in a closing of the Strait of Hormus are leading us to apacalypse. But what if we implemented my policy of a 50% Discount/Rebate at regular consumer retail sale and the retail point of finance (everyone’s mortgage, insurance, automobile or other big ticket item’s monthly payment) and then in order to mitigate the additional consumption also implemented a “tax” of say 50% of utilized gifted purchasing power into 5-6% Eco-Energy R & D treasury bonds, IOW a gift of a guaranteed investment into ways of resolving the Eco-Energy crises we’re confronting???

And by the way lets hope this start up turns out to be the technological breakthrough we’re all hoping for: https://www.casimir.inc/tech?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

All quotes are completely true. So why don’t we implement a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale and simultaneously double everyone’s purchasing power and transform chronic erosive inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation. Its a monetary and economic paradigm change in a single policy (and of course there’s an entire attending policy and theoretical framework designed to stabilize and incentivise the new paradigm and enable urgent rational actions like dealing with our looming energy and ecological crises in my book Wisdomics-Gracenomics.)

Individual economic agents unite! All you have to lose are the chains of Finance’s monopoly paradigm for the creation and distribution of all new money AKA Debt Only!

Why? Because macro-economics is about aggregates as in totalities, and because EVERYONE must and does participate in regular consumer retail sale, and EVERYONE who borrows money participates in financial retail sale which is one’s mortgage, automobile, insurance or other big ticket item’s monthly payment…and so the beneficial effects of any policy at those points ipso facto scales to the totality of its economic effects. And that is why the 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale is a paradigm change in a single policy.

Refusal to look is also a deadly orthodoxy. Like for instance insisting on only systemic and mathematical analysis, both of which are completely valid means of looking/analyzing of course. The deepest means of looking though is conceptual/paradigmatic analysis because it enlightens one to what ideas are creating and enforcing both mental and temporal universe realities…that the analyst is likely missing because those ideas are so long acculturated that one is completely unconscious of them or seems illogical and even unscientific.

Why? Because uniting monetary self interests allows for competition, but also fosters cooperation, universal agent participation via universal agent benefit, enables rational action where resistance to necessary change has been the norm. And probably most importantly the wild benefits of this single policy means that opposing it by politicians is the kiss of death for them. Why? Because what individual wouldn’t like having their purchasing power immdiately doubled by being able to buy $100 worth of goods and services…for only $50, and yet with the rebate aspect of the policy the merchant gets their full price and thus the doubling of potential demand for every one of their goods and services??? Its a win/win for both sides of the economic calculus. And when applied at the retail point of finance even the banks will not be able to oppose it because with the government or the central bank paying 50% of everyone’s mortgage, auto loan, insurance or other big ticket item’s monthly payment (and of course the aligned policy of a UBI/UHI…EVERYONE is now creditable, so the market for the banks’ “product” is vastly increased even if the price of a $60k EV is only $30k at regular consumer retail sale and a $500k house is only $250k. Finally, the banks actually benefit the most because instead of unethically wielding a monopoly monetary paradigm of Debt Only their ethics are “put in” exactly like the way the last monopoly paradigm we dealt with did which was ending the Roman Catholic’s monopoly paradigm of Salvation Via Roman Catholic Sacraments Only.

But remember, 9.9 is actually perfect and a 10 is imperfectly perfect, in other words the integration of opposites which is the ultimate personal wisdom of continuous emergent newness, nowness and accepting conscious flow as in gracefulness.

Paradigms are applied concepts that create and re-inforce mental and temporal universe realities. The beneficial effects of every historical new paradigm have always been an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace. This insight means that all one has to do to discover a new paradigm is to find the relevant aspect of the word and concept of grace…and find the most efficacious ways to apply it AND YOU’VE CHANGED BOTH YOURSELF AND THE WORLD….AND ITS COMPLETELY “PLUG AND PLAY”.

Paradigm changes are small and big, or a better description of the phenomenon is powerful and mega-powerful. The latter is a change that is universally and continuously experienced, whose benefits spill over into multiple systems, bodies of knowledge and areas of human endeavor and even has serendipitous/surprisingly unexpected benefits seemingly not even relavant to the primary area originally under paradigmatic analysis. The new monetary paradigm of Startegic Monetary Gifting is an example of such a paradigm change.

The way forward is changing the energy paradigm from Terra & Petroleum Only to Off Planet and Cosmic as in zero point energy or at least pre-dominantly solar.

And the way to get action on these necessary changes is to integrate Monetary Gifting into the present monetary paradigm of Debt Only with strategic policies that will help maintain social cohesion and security during the increasingly dark interum period like:

1) a 50% Discount/Rebate at retail sale; and

2) to fund and focus rational action a required “tax” of gifted purchasing power, in other words a Gift of guaranteed investment, into Eco-Energy R & D Treasury bonds at attractive rates.

The self actualization of graciousness, that is love and so loving action/behavior. Full stop.

So, no matter whether you believe in Jesus, Guatama, Krishna, The Thetan or the great god mugjub who lives up the yap-yap river, any doctrine that distracts, detracts, denies or destroys that purpose is a missing of the mark. Love/loving is truly the fulfillment of the law.

And a final point: This means that right along with personal graciousness making our various and sundry systems, bodies of knowledge and areas of human endeavor align with and assist in creating graciousness with their policies, their pursuits of truth and their elicitations…the goal and point of creating a better temporal universe.
