What does it mean when your spelling control keeps changing the word degrowth into the word regrowth? How obsessed with growth must a society be when decades after the word degrowth was introduced to inspire a paradigm shift towards the destructive idea of continuous economic growth, our vocabulary still does not except it, and not only presumes it to be a mistake but suggests us to embrace the correct ideology of regrowth? Are our ‘intelligent’ economy-bound algorithms not allowing us to think in terms other than more?
