Usury

As if you can’t steer.

The LeftRight paradigm is a political ideology that emphasizes the importance of both left-wing and right-wing perspectives. It is based on the idea that both sides should be represented and respected in the political process. This approach is meant to provide a balanced approach to decision-making and to foster more productive discourse. The idea is that by working together, both sides can find a common ground and work together to find solutions to the problems facing society. (oa)

The LeftRight paradigm is limited in that it does not take into account the views of people who don’t fit into the left-right dichotomy. It also does not take into account the complexity of many social and political issues, which require more than just two opposing points of view to be adequately addressed. Additionally, this paradigm can lead to oversimplification of complex issues and can lead to a polarization of opinion. (oa)

Who goes left enough goes right. And who goes right enough sees what’s left. Steer. Go up and down, back and forward.

“I like to operate like a submarine on sonar. When I am picking up noise from both the left and right, I know my course is correct.”

Me: What is the leftright paradigm?

ChatGPT (jan23):

The left-right paradigm is a political spectrum that separates political ideologies and movements into two main categories: the left and the right. The left is typically associated with progressive and liberal ideologies, such as socialism, communism, and social democracy. They tend to focus on issues such as wealth redistribution, greater government intervention in the economy, and greater social equality.

The right, on the other hand, is typically associated with conservative and right-wing ideologies, such as capitalism, libertarianism, and fascism. They tend to focus on issues such as limited government intervention in the economy, individual rights, and personal freedom.

This paradigm is not universal, and different countries and cultures have their own unique political ideologies, movements and parties. The left-right paradigm is a way of making sense of the different positions on the political spectrum, but it’s not the only way of classifying political ideologies. The paradigm can be limited in its ability to classify some political ideologies and movements that do not fit easily into either left or right categories.

Me: Would usury create such a system?

ChatGPT:

Usury, or the practice of lending money at excessively high rates of interest, can contribute to the creation of a system in which wealth is concentrated in the hands of a small group of people, while the majority of the population remains in poverty. This can exacerbate social and economic inequality and can lead to social unrest, which can fuel the emergence of different ideologies and movements.

In a capitalist system, the practice of usury can make it difficult for individuals and businesses to access credit, leading to a concentration of wealth among a small group of lenders. This can lead to an unequal distribution of resources and opportunities, which can fuel the emergence of leftist ideologies and movements that focus on wealth redistribution and greater government intervention in the economy.

In a socialist or communist system, usury is not allowed, as the state owns the means of production and the economy is planned centrally.

It’s important to note that usury alone is not the only factor that creates a system, it’s a combination of factors such as the economic system, social values, and cultural norms that can contribute to the creation of a certain system.
