Theory of Economic Social Control

The idea that your wallet is a primary tool for steering behavior. It examines how access to resources, job markets, debt, and consumer culture dictates your life choices and keeps you invested in the status quo. Control is achieved by making your survival and social worth dependent on playing by the system's economic rules.

Theory of Economic Social Control Example: The crushing weight of student loans and mortgage debt. This isn't just personal finance; it's a potent form of economic social control. Needing to make huge monthly payments makes you far less likely to risk your stable job by striking, protesting, or starting a radical business. It funnels you into a compliant, productive life path by leveraging your economic vulnerability.

Psychology of Economical Systems

The study of how human psychology shapes and is shaped by the systems that produce, distribute, and consume goods and services. Economics traditionally assumed rational actors maximizing utility; psychology reveals that humans are predictably irrational—loss-averse, status-conscious, prone to herding, and terrible at probability. The psychology of economical systems explains bubbles (herd behavior, overconfidence), crashes (panic, loss aversion), inequality (status seeking, positional goods), and the persistence of poverty (scarcity mindset, cognitive load). It also examines how economic systems shape psychology in return—creating desires we didn't know we had, defining success in narrow terms, making us feel like winners or losers based on arbitrary metrics.

Example: "She studied the psychology of economical systems during the housing bubble, watching otherwise rational people make obviously terrible decisions. It wasn't stupidity; it was psychology—herd behavior, overconfidence, the thrill of the gamble. The system encouraged it, exploited it, and collapsed when the psychology inevitably turned. The next bubble was already forming."

Generative Reparations Economic Model

A Generative Reparations Economy directs wealth, labor, and resources toward repairing historical and ecological harm while creating dignified livelihoods through community stewardship and cooperative ownership.

Instead of extracting value, the model circulates value.

The Core Economic Loop:

1. Repair
-restore waterways
-clean public natural spaces
-recover discarded materials

2. Creation
-transform recovered materials into art of useful goods
-provide ecological restoration services
-host educational workshops

3. Circulation
-sell goods and services
-reinvest revenue into worker wages and community funds
-expand restoration projects

This creates a living economic cycle of repair.

Repair the land.
Pay the people.
Circulate the care.

As capitalism continues to cause harm, navigating the late stages require innovative and creative solutions to support people, the earth and peace to navigate the transitons. The Generative Reparations Economic Model offers a pathway, paradigm and praxis for navigating social, cultural, consciousness and environmental shifts.

Healing Centric Economies

🌿 Healing-Centric Economies
New Earth Codes for Regenerative Exchange and Soul-Aligned Prosperity

Definition:
A Healing-Centric Economy is a post-patriarchal, post-extractional system of exchange rooted in the frequency of regeneration, reciprocity, and relational wealth.
It redefines prosperity as the well-being of people, planet, and spirit, rather than accumulation of profit or power.
Every transaction, trade, or offering in a Healing-Centric Economy is designed to restore energy, repair harm, and recalibrate balance — not exploit or deplete.

Ethical Mandate

A Healing-Centric Economy refuses to replicate the trauma of capitalism.
It decentralizes power, honors diversity, and transforms commerce into care.
It is economic alchemy — turning scarcity consciousness into sovereign sufficiency.

Affirmation / Manifestor

“I circulate my gifts through sacred reciprocity.
My work is a healing frequency.
Abundance is the pulse of the Earth moving through me.”

She left Wall Street to start a Healing-Centric Economy café where you can pay with gratitude, crystals, or community care credits.” ☀️💚

Healing Centric Economies are the path of the future of a world where our collective liberation is realized.

West's Theory Of Isolated Economic Decimation

1) The jobs that AI (the latest generation of computing technology) will largely be isolated to many of the same jobs the previous generation of computers created, facilitated or enabled, and the technology will allow the workers left in a given job to do the work of 10, decimating the demand for any specific set of skills under the previous technical paradigm. The upshot is that - for a time - jobs which are not dependent on computers (e.g. carpenters, police, paramedics, doctors, refuse workers, power linesmen) will be less impacted by the rollout of ML and AI. And while, say, AI may beget only 10% of the previous need for architects using computers to draft, there will remain a need for program managers, prompt engineers, developers, mathematicians and system engineers needed to centrally manage AI and ML systems. 2) Eventually technology will advance the point that corporations push to have androids perform the remaining jobs that only humans could perform (e.g. carpenters, police, paramedics, doctors, refuse workers, power linesmen)and regions will need to have that debate on whether technology and commerce are the more important that human-centricity and a moralized human populace. Put forth by marketer, Zackery West (FlashPointLabs) on February 8th, 2024.

West's Theory Of Specific Economic Destruction

Summary: AI will specifically destroy jobs created by computers in the first place, preserving 'offline' jobs, while minimally impacting work quality, and preserving gross productivity.

1) The jobs that AI destroys will largely be isolated to many of the same jobs the computers created, facilitated or enabled, 2) The more that workers in a given field were reliant upon computers, the lower the percentage of them will be required to accomplish the same output after AI is deployed; this reduction in demand for workers could be up to 90% in some market segments. 3) When this happens, work quality only suffers slightly; 4) When this happens, productivity is not reduced, and some companies may scale-up fewer workers to surpass previous productivity levels.

The take-away is that jobs that were largely or entirely not dependent on computers (or which predate computer) will be less impacted by the rollout of ML and AI. These jobs include carpenters, police, paramedics, doctors, refuse workers, power linesmen.

This will remain true until corporations push culture if not laws to have androids perform those remaining jobs left to humans (e.g. carpenters, police, paramedics, doctors, refuse workers, power linesmen). At that point, society will debate whether productivity is more important that anthropocentrism and protecting a moralized, industrious, human populations.

Put forth by Zackery West, marketer, in 2024.

Theory of the Political and Economic Nature of Science

The theory that science is fundamentally shaped by political and economic forces—that what gets studied, how it's studied, who gets to study it, and what counts as knowledge are all influenced by power and money. The theory argues that science is not an ivory tower but a field of struggle, where research agendas reflect funding priorities, where methods reflect available resources, where conclusions reflect institutional interests. This doesn't mean science is false; it means science is human, situated, shaped by the conditions of its production. The Theory of the Political and Economic Nature of Science explains why some questions get answered and others ignored, why some researchers thrive and others struggle, why science is never pure.

Theory of the Political and Economic Nature of Science Example: "She'd dreamed of a pure science, untouched by politics or money. The Theory of the Political and Economic Nature of Science showed her otherwise: every grant was a choice, every publication a negotiation, every finding shaped by who paid for it. Science wasn't corrupt; it was just real—shaped by the same forces that shape everything else. The purity she'd imagined had never existed."
