  • Yes, but our whole economy, and maybe even society itself is built on the requirement and assumption of growth.

    We steal tomorrow to pay for today.

    If we stop having enough people to grow, we will collapse under the requirements of our system until a new non-growth economy/society is formed from the ashes.

    I don’t think it will be possible to have a smooth transition to a non-growth or low-growth society since very few people will willingly sacrifice the amenities we pay with in debt, which is paid for by predicted growth.

    When that predicted growth goes negative, collectively, we will not be able to afford the things we want, and that will cause mass chaos and potentially even resource wars.

    Maybe a 3 button setup

    • Agreed and acceptable content
    • Disagree and acceptable content
    • Bad content

    Default Rankings are based on minimum bad-content/maximum agreed count
    And controversial ranking is based on minimum bad-content/maximum good-content count (agree+disagree)

    This way even comments that people disagree with can be exposed so long as it’s still good content

    Brigadiers who blindly vote everything bad content to maliciously influence rankings can be identified and removed for manipulation, while people who vehemently disgree with an idea can still have that outlet without influencing the community/magazine haphazardly
