Fellow Economic Feeling or Common Economic Interest

Supereconomics is part of Social Superphysics which sees society as a metaphysical organism called an oversoul made up of individual souls.

A soul is an abstract mind, which can think.

Each soul expresses its needs, as demand, and capabilities, as supply.

We can say that demand is inbound value or energy going to a soul, while supply is outbound value or energy from a soul.

This creates a flowing current between souls in a society, as actors in an economy.

Fellow Economic Feeling

This flow is called “group feeling” in Supersociology and “fellow economic feeling” in Supereconomics.

You can put a price on a material desire, but not so much on a general desire.

For example, you can pay or not pay someone to cook for you that is still regarded as fair.

• Paying for something is an economic or commercial transaction
• Not paying for something is a supereconomic or barter-credit transaction (as donation or exchange for something in the future)

We call this fellow economic feeling as common economic interest.

This separates us from savages or animals that simply steal from other savages or animals. This is because they have no fellow feeling with them.

But a civilized species has more fellow-feeling thanks to the Positive Force which unites entities.

This drives our heart to give back something for what we got since the Positive Force makes us feel his needs somewhat.

Unlike Economics which is based on the Negative Force, as matter and selfishness, Supereconomics is based on the Positive Force, as aether and svadharma.

Selfish Interest Versus or Svadharma as Self-Purpose

Svadharma means personal dharma, which in this case means personal duty.

It is better to do one’s own duty, even he fails to succeed in doing the duty of another. It is better to die performing one’s duty, than to do another’s duty with fear.

Krishna

Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 3, Verse 35

Each person has a different passion or purpose in life.

For example, a baker can bake better than he can brew beer, just as a brewer can brew better than he can bake.

Their common economic interest then naturally lets the baker exchange his bread for beer and leave both of them better off.

The first and greatest of necessities is food, which is the condition of life and existence. The second is a dwelling. The third clothing and the like.. Each will bring the result of his labours into a common stock.. All things are produced more plentifully and easily when one man does one thing which is natural to him.

Socrates

This svadharma is the true creator of economic value that usually manifests as money.

However, Economics ignores svadharma and instead focuses on the money that it creates. And so it goes after the effect instead of the cause.

In order to emphasize cause instead of effect, we therefore replace ‘self-interest’ and ‘personal passion’ with self-purpose.

This means that the self was not created merely for the sake of existing, but to attain a goal or serve a duty.

This will give the mind a general direction instead of going around aimlessly in circles.

Everything has a value because everything has a purpose

In Taoism, the specific purpose of every thing is called The Tao.

Superphysics replaces the Cartesian paradigm, ‘I think therefore I am’ with ‘It exists, therefore it perceives’.

Supereconomics translates this into the world of utility: “It exists, therefore it has a purpose (to the Supreme)’.

If it has a purpose then it has a value.

This leads to the First Law of Value.

A human with its limited knowledge, might not know immediately the value of a thing.

And so, in Supereconomics, this law leads to the study of this svadharma or Tao of things in order to realize their value.
