So everyone's financial details should be spied upon in deep detail by Big Brother so that Big Brother can manipulate the currency "properly" ?

Yes. Their models require 100% accurate information :/

Keynesian economic models also assume that "everything else remains equal" (ceteris paribus). In the real world, however, this never happens.

I'm not sure where any of this is coming from. Certainly not from anything I've written. Suffice to say it's ridiculous to describe what I'm putting forward as Keynesian (I cited Friedman in the first post for god sake) and it's even more ridiculous to ascribe any of the views mentioned in the above quotes to modern Keynesians, who I may not agree with, but who nonetheless manage far more sophistication than is on display from some of the commenters in this thread.
