When it was established by the Copernican Cosmological paradigm change that the sun was the center of the solar system and earth revolved around it and not the inverse…despite the apparency of the sun moving around the earth from east to west everyday, it was a cosmological moment of orthodoxy death and a true raising of human consciousness.

So could be the same orthodox killing effect if we recognize the counter-intuitive fact that greatly adding money to the economy via strategic utilization of the accounting operation of equal debits and credits equalling zero at strategic points in the economy could actually create beneficial price and asset deflation, double everyone’s purchasing power and increasing the demand for every enterprise’s goods and service.

Likewise, if we strategically utilize money to incentivize ecologically sane actions by individuals and enterprise and use sufficient dis-incentives to stop actions by them that ignore or make ecologically sane actions more difficult, then we could make a lot of head way toward an abundant de-growth goal.

Ultimately though the most reflective analogy to the Copernican paradigm change would be the one from the current paradigm of Geo-centric Resource and Production Only to Largely Cosmic Resource and Production. This may be the epitome of a mega-project, but its inversion of reality and consciousness raising possibilities are even greater than the Copernican. 

Not saying that earthly work should not also be pursued to the nth degree, but let us not adopt a “Don’t Look Up” mentality for paradigm change.
