Socionomics In a NutshellUnderstanding socionomics requires comprehending the contrast between two postulations:
(1) The standard presumption: Social mood is buffeted by economic, political and cultural trends and events. News of such events affects the social mood, which in turn affects people's penchant for investing.
(2) The socionomic hypothesis: Social mood is a natural product of human interaction and is patterned according to the Wave Principle. Its trends and extent determine the character of social action, including the economic, political and cultural.
The contrast between these two positions comes down to this: The standard presumption is that in the social setting,
events govern mood ; the socionomic hypothesis is that
mood governs events . In both cases, the stock market is seen as an efficient mechanism. In the first instance, it presumably revalues stocks continually and rationally in reaction to events; in the second, it revalues stocks continually and impulsively as the independent social mood changes.

Conventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.
