Psychology of Economic Actualism

By Mr David R Billings

As humans we have an intense set of demands placed upon us. We must live socially but we must live in the actual world as well. To live socially requires us to live in a set of nominal records: prices, words, rules and symbols. But living in the actual world requires us to live in a world of things like values, ideas, ethics and feelings. When in the actual world we live in a vacuum of communication, but social participation can give us communication but subject us to a vacuum of actuality."The Psychology of Economic Actualism" describes this dilemma of human existence which damages the sanity of us all but is usually unrecognized. Like nitrogen in the air we breathe, this confusion of the nominal and the actual is always present so we never notice it. But it forces us to gain access to five mental processes: the tradesman, the artist, the policeman, the socializer and the loner. But these mental processes contradict each other, misunderstand each other and dislike each other. So they repress each other.The result is Mankind: the only animal with the power to dominate and destroy the planet but the only species plagued with suicide and a plethora of other psychological problems. "The Psychology of Economic Actualism" describes how economic participation, and the confusion of nominal and actual wealth which it creates, is the central stressor of our lives.
