ECONOMIC SOCIOPATHY

Hay Everyone,

Just needed to transpose a thought - perhaps your feedback will help.

Please forward this if you would - something to talk about - I have had allot of meditation time and could use the feedback.

ECONOMIC SOCIOPATHY

In the functional operation and philosophy of theunclericproject there are certain methodologies relevant to "The Nature of Things".

Given such, the pattern is applicable to human economic perception as well.

When we become Adolescents, we learn, through a process of experiences, the concept of Value. As we age through Adulthood, we learn the concept of Price. After more experience we reach maturity in which we understand the concept of Cost.

Naturally, all things can be placed into this Value/Price/Cost trinary feedback loop as it is directly proportional to Knowledge, Understanding and Wisdom.

Value is relative to our motivation or spirit, proportional to the amount of information (knowledge) we have attained.

Price is relative to our intellect or soul via our ability to interpret a medium of exchange for a Value based upon the categorization of the pieces of information (knowledge) we have attained, equating to our Understanding.

Cost is relative to the physical aspect of result. A transaction involving Value and Price having reached fruition gives us the ability to determine the actual benefit, this equates to Wisdom.

Given this functional trinary energy exchange feedback loop, we must then look for the energy source providing power to the loop. Therein, as all human exchange comes from another variable trinary entity composed of Need, Want and Passion.

Need is a physical aspect such as hunger. Want is a psychological aspect such as will or desire, reflected in a goal. Passion is the spiritual aspect such as a dream or vision.

The energy output of this entity flows into and empowers the Value/Price/Cost feedback entity.

The relevance of these entities has to do with the distortions currently overpowering humanity via a culture replete with overwhelming materialism, promoted by 'power players' and socially influential parties.

Disbalance, that is, an overt focus upon Price, via the promotion of wants as if they are needs (functional Greed) has distorted human endeavors displacing our behaviors from the natural order of things resulting in decay or corruption.

This brings us to the human dilemma of "Economic Sociopathy".

In all accord, disharmonic operation will eventually result in collapse of a trinary feedback loop if left unchecked. Such is currently occurring in our modern economic societies - especially the "west".

Sociopathy occurs when Want or desire overwhelm the concepts of Need and Passion, removing the concept of Cost and inflating the perception of Value via the narrow margin of temporal or immediate physical gratification.

Biblicly, this corruption is congruent with the well known phrase, "The love of money is the root of all evil."

To understand this, we must break this statement apart and rebuild it in a process called expounding. There are four words relevant to this expounding, e.g.; love, money, root and evil.

Therein, "love" is from "eros", meaning physical pleasure or sensation. Money is physical possession in the form of a medium of exchange, agricultural provision (land) and livestock: in other words, all that is physically necessary for human survival and endeavor. Root is relevant to the process of environmental inputs or circumstances and Evil is destruction relevant to non-cyclical reproduction or stagnation.

Given such, "The love of money is the root of all evil" can be expounded to: "The physical adoration of material possessions is the process by which all non-reproductive behavior occurs".

Taking this back to our Value/Price/Cost feedback entity, we can see that such a disbalance comes from a promotion of Want as if it was Need and Passion. Such delineates Wisdom, as Cost can only be determined post-facto or after the behavior has occurred and results tabulated.

In other words, shoes are an essential or need for protecting our feet from certain damage, equating to a Value. Differing shoes has differing Prices. Based upon the Value and Price, Cost can only be determined after the shoes have finished their service.

If a pair of shoes has a high Price but does not perform well, they are Costly. If they exceed expectations they are not.

Thus, Wisdom requires the feedback of result.

Economic Sociopathy has overwhelmed this truth in our current culture via Greed.

Therefore, the next time we look at some thing, issue or idea being promoted, perhaps we can balance the scales and protect ourselves from high Cost via determining not only the Price, but also the Value and Cost prior to purchase.

Just a thought.
