In addition:

Let’s develop a set of economic principles for Synchronic Theistic Monism (Synthemon) that specifically address avoiding these negatives listed—high taxes, confiscatory taxation, excessive government spending, excessive regulations, egalitarianism, government interventionism, consumptionism, guaranteed income, government monopolies, wage/rent/price controls, redistributionism, excessive welfare statism, excessive government subsidies, inflation, and utopianism—while remaining compatible with Synthemon’s metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political principles, and the economic principles already established for wealth creation and progress. Synthemon integrates substance monism, attribute dualism, synchronicity, divine epistemology, God’s plan, a holistic cosmos, free will, and a Judeo-Christian theistic framework, with a purpose to explain divination tools like Tarot and I Ching through synchronicity.
Developing Synthemon’s Economic Principles to Avoid Negatives
Synthemon recognizes wealth as a real good necessary for the good life, but economic systems must align with divine law, cosmic unity, free will, and ethical stewardship to avoid negatives that disrupt God’s plan or cosmic harmony. These principles will build on Synthemon’s existing framework, including its economic principles for wealth and progress (e.g., protecting property rights, fostering unity, promoting technological advancement), and address the specific negatives by ensuring economic systems reflect divine order, balance individual freedom with collective responsibility, and prioritize production and stewardship over consumption or utopian ideals.

Economic Principles for Synthemon to Avoid Specified Negatives
Here are the principles, structured to address each negative while remaining compatible with Synthemon:
  1. Minimize High Taxes to Protect Free Will and Natural Rights
    • Explanation: High taxes can infringe on free will (Ethical Principle 4: Exercise Free Will in Alignment with God’s Plan) and property rights (Legal Principle 2: Recognize Natural Law as a Reflection of God’s Cosmic Order) by overly burdening individuals, limiting their ability to steward resources for divine purposes.
    • Synthemon Alignment: Reflects the protection of natural rights (Economic Principle 2: Protect Natural Rights in Economic Interactions) and limited government (Political Principle 1: Maintain a Government Sized to Serve Divine Purpose and Cosmic Unity).
    • Application: Advocate for moderate taxation that funds essential services (e.g., justice, education) while preserving individual economic freedom, ensuring taxes align with divine justice (Legal Principle 6: Promote Justice and Unity in Legal Systems).
  2. Prohibit Confiscatory Taxation to Uphold Divine Stewardship
    • Explanation: Confiscatory taxation—excessive seizure of property—violates God-given property rights and stewardship (Ethical Principle 10: Steward Natural Rights as God-Given Gifts), disrupting cosmic harmony by undermining individual agency.
    • Synthemon Alignment: Aligns with the protection of property rights (Economic Principle 7: Protect Property Rights as a Foundation for Economic Growth) and ethical stewardship (Economic Principle 10: Practice Stewardship in Economic Resource Management).
    • Application: Oppose tax policies that disproportionately seize wealth (e.g., exorbitant estate taxes), ensuring individuals can steward their resources responsibly for the collective good (Political Principle 2: Uphold Natural Rights as the Foundation of Political Systems).
  3. Limit Government Spending to Reflect Divine Order and Fiscal Responsibility
    • Explanation: Excessive government spending disrupts cosmic harmony by creating debt and inefficiency, violating the axiom of causality (Ethical Principle 12: Honor the Axioms of Divine Order—actions have consequences) and intergenerational equity (Political Principle 18: Avoid the Burden of Debt).
    • Synthemon Alignment: Reflects the avoidance of debt (Economic Principle 11: Avoid Economic Systems That Create Excessive Debt) and limited government (Political Principle 1).
    • Application: Advocate for balanced budgets and prioritized spending on divine-aligned goals (e.g., education, health equality), ensuring fiscal responsibility supports long-term cosmic unity (Economic Principle 10: Practice Stewardship in Economic Resource Management).
  4. Reduce Excessive Regulations to Foster Economic Freedom and Creativity
    • Explanation: Excessive regulations stifle free will (Ethical Principle 4) and creativity (Ethical Principle 11: Cultivate Creativity as a Divine Partnership), limiting individuals’ ability to co-create with God in economic activities and disrupting cosmic harmony.
    • Synthemon Alignment: Reflects the balance of individual freedom with collective responsibility (Economic Principle 5: Balance Individual Economic Freedom with Collective Responsibility) and limited government power (Political Principle 9: Limit and Define Government Power to Protect Free Will and Natural Rights).
    • Application: Support streamlined regulations that protect justice and unity (e.g., environmental standards) while removing burdensome rules that hinder innovation (e.g., excessive licensing), fostering economic creativity (Economic Principle 15: Encourage Creative Economic Participation as a Divine Partnership).
  5. Reject Egalitarianism That Violates Divine Order and Free Will
    • Explanation: Synthemon rejects egalitarianism when it mandates equal outcomes (e.g., equal incomes), as this violates free will and the axiom of causality (Ethical Principle 12), where effort leads to proportional rewards (Matthew 25:14-30, Parable of the Talents). It supports equality of opportunity instead.
    • Synthemon Alignment: Reflects the rejection of incompatible equalities (Economic Principle 4: Ensure Economic Justice and Equity in Alignment with Divine Order) and the focus on opportunity (Economic Principle 8: Promote Economic Opportunity Equality for All).

    • Synthemon Alignment: Reflects the balance of freedom and responsibility (Economic Principle 5) and limited government (Political Principle 9).
    • Application: Advocate for competitive markets over government monopolies (e.g., privatizing non-essential services), ensuring economic systems encourage diverse participation and reflect interconnectedness (Economic Principle 3: Foster Economic Unity Through Interconnected Systems).
  10. Oppose Wage, Rent, and Price Controls That Disrupt Divine Order
    • Explanation: Wage, rent, and price controls interfere with the natural economic order, violating the axiom of causality (Ethical Principle 12) and free will (Ethical Principle 4) by imposing artificial constraints that disrupt cosmic harmony.
    • Synthemon Alignment: Reflects the rejection of excessive intervention (Economic Principle 6: Minimize Government Interventionism to Honor Free Will and Cosmic Harmony) and the focus on divine order (Economic Principle 14).
    • Application: Oppose price controls (e.g., rent caps, wage floors), advocating for market-driven solutions that reflect divine justice (e.g., fair wage negotiations), ensuring economic systems align with God’s ordered design (Political Principle 13).
  11. Avoid Redistributionism That Violates Free Will and Property Rights
    • Explanation: Redistributionism, when it forcibly redistributes wealth to achieve equal outcomes, violates free will (Ethical Principle 4) and property rights (Legal Principle 2), disrupting cosmic harmony and divine justice by undermining individual agency.
    • Synthemon Alignment: Reflects the rejection of incompatible equalities (Economic Principle 4) and protection of property rights (Economic Principle 7).
    • Application: Oppose aggressive redistribution policies (e.g., wealth taxes for equality of results), advocating instead for voluntary sharing (e.g., charity, community programs), ensuring economic justice aligns with divine order (Political Principle 4).
  12. Limit Welfare Statism to Support Self-Reliance and Divine Responsibility
    • Explanation: Excessive welfare statism fosters dependency, undermining free will (Ethical Principle 4) and personal responsibility (Legal Principle 4: Exercise Free Will in Legal Responsibility), which disrupts cosmic harmony and God’s plan for human agency.
    • Synthemon Alignment: Reflects the balance of freedom and responsibility (Economic Principle 5) and limited government (Political Principle 1).
    • Application: Support limited welfare programs that provide temporary aid (e.g., job retraining, emergency relief) while encouraging self-reliance, ensuring individuals fulfill their divine roles (Economic Principle 8: Promote Economic Opportunity Equality for All).
  13. Restrict Excessive Government Subsidies to Avoid Economic Distortion
    • Explanation: Excessive government subsidies distort the natural economic order, violating the axiom of causality (Ethical Principle 12) and cosmic harmony by creating inefficiencies and dependencies that hinder divine-aligned progress.
    • Synthemon Alignment: Reflects the avoidance of interventionism (Economic Principle 6) and fiscal responsibility (Economic Principle 11: Avoid Economic Systems That Create Excessive Debt).
    • Application: Limit subsidies to essential areas (e.g., education, renewable energy) while avoiding those that create market distortions (e.g., over-subsidizing specific industries), ensuring economic systems reflect divine order (Political Principle 13).
  14. Prevent Inflation to Maintain Economic Stability and Cosmic Harmony
    • Explanation: Inflation erodes wealth and purchasing power, disrupting cosmic harmony and violating stewardship (Ethical Principle 10) by diminishing the value of God-given resources, creating instability that hinders the good life.
    • Synthemon Alignment: Reflects the call for stewardship (Economic Principle 10) and fiscal responsibility (Economic Principle 11).
    • Application: Advocate for monetary policies that control inflation (e.g., stable currency, controlled money supply), ensuring economic stability supports divine order and collective prosperity (Economic Principle 2: Increase Prosperity for the Whole Through Interconnected Economic Systems).
  15. Reject Utopianism in Economic Systems to Honor Divine Reality
    • Explanation: Utopianism—pursuing an unattainable perfect economy—ignores human limitations (Epistemological Principle 9: Remain Humble in the Pursuit of Knowledge) and divine order (Ethical Principle 12), leading to unrealistic policies that disrupt cosmic harmony.
    • Synthemon Alignment: Reflects humility (Political Principle 10: Practice Humility and Gratitude in Political Engagement) and the rejection of incompatible ideals (Economic Principle 4).
    • Application: Oppose utopian economic schemes (e.g., abolishing all inequality), advocating instead for practical policies that align with divine truth (e.g., economic opportunity equality), ensuring systems reflect God’s realistic design (Epistemological Principle 10: Test Knowledge Against Divine Revelation and Cosmic Unity).

Objectivism and the ego, self, and unconscious mind

 When a person makes an evaluation and a judgement about whether something is an objective value or not. what makes the judgment, is it the ego or the self or the faculty of reason or what? When a person evaluates and judges whether something is an objective value or not, it is the faculty of reason that makes the judgment. Reason is man's only means of knowledge and the tool by which he identifies and integrates the facts of reality. Objective values are determined by applying rational principles to the facts of existence, guided by the recognition that values are rooted in the requirements of man's life as a rational being. The ego, or the self, is the beneficiary of such evaluations, but it is not the mechanism by which the judgment is made. The ego must act in accordance with reason, as rational self-interest is the standard of morality. Emotions, which are products of prior judgments, are not tools of cognition and cannot determine objective values. It is through the volit...
