Fear works. But it’s also everywhere.

If we want post-growth economics to gain ground, we need to stop copying strategies of those with more money, more reach, and more fear to offer.

Our advantage? Utopian clarity, intellectual rigor — and a future people actually want.

The ethic of the future isn’t sacrifice.

It’s stewardship.

Objective compassion sees desire as signal—
not sin.

It invests in agency, not dependency.

When people are free to grow,
the world grows with them.

Objective compassion doesn’t mean more oversight.

It means fewer hoops.
No tests of worthiness.
No paperwork that proves pain.

Just dividends of inclusion—
like UBI, education, clean water.

Not guilt. Growth.

Objective compassion isn’t pity.

It doesn’t reward suffering.
It empowers potential.

It removes drag from human flourishing.

The goal isn’t to rescue—
it’s to release.

Compassion isn’t soft.

Real compassion builds capacity.
It invests in freedom, not control.

It says:
You don’t have to prove your suffering to be worth empowering.

Objective compassion isn’t reactive.
It’s strategic.
It grows the world.
