I always try to look at stuff outside of my bubble and my interests. I think that's super important. But here is my answer to your question:
Growth (as in economic growth) has become the dominant KPI to define progress, which in my opinion is extremely stupid and wrong. Behind this fascination with growth I think is an ideology of more = better. Which again, doesn't really make sense in my opinion. So, I really like the degrowth ideas and discussions but I'd like us to think more about post growth or beyond growth when it comes to KPIs for human progress. I have written extensively about alternatives here in my report: https://klaffket.gumroad.com/l/alternative-prosperity
My substack is such a grab bag these days. Would you be willing to share which side of the degrowth narrative you ascribe to?
