We should focus on pivoting from a consumer economy to a service and arts economy such as the renaissance, instead of squandering the current wealth, we could enter into a golden age of society while simultaneously preserving the ecosystem.

We should team up and create a movement, I've been thinking exactly the same regarding a degrowth utopia - wealth and money should go into ideas, art and culture which have a very low material footprint but generate a lot of happiness and fulfilment.

I would be surprised if many didn’t already exist. There are quite a few very dedicated communes all around the globe. One I’ve found interesting is the earth ship people, and all the hippies in Hawaii haha. But I’m definitely down to start our own. Create a bunch of cool stuff!
