Imagine this:
You walk through your city. An ordinary day.
An elderly man asks for your help carrying his bag.
Once, you would have nodded, helped him, shared a smile – and moved on.
Today, everything has changed.
Help now needs a form
You help the man – and moments later you're stopped.
A screen flickers on the streetlight above you.
"Unregistered assistance detected. Please authenticate the action."
You're instructed to retroactively report the act of helping through your eID account.
So the authorities can record who helped, when, whom –
and whether you’ve filed for reimbursement.
Because in the new order, the rule is clear:
If you help, you must report it.
If you don’t help, you must pay.
Solidarity has become a duty.
Not voluntary – but systematic. Mandated. Monitored.
The reversal of morality
What once was a symbol of humanity
has now become an administrative procedure.
You want to support someone?
Then you need to register at the social services office first.
You want to make a donation?
Only with approval – otherwise it’s considered "system-incompatible behavior."
And beware if you refuse to help –
that now violates the norm of social compliance.
Because in this new society, it’s no longer about why –
only about whether you performed.
Then the shift begins
In a small circle, far from the public systems,
you meet people who have stopped playing this game.
They help – voluntarily.
Or they don’t – also voluntarily.
They use a different system. No coercion. No sanctions. No central authority.
They call it: Infinity-Economics.
And it runs on different rules:
Help is provided through peer-to-peer agreements.
Everyone is responsible for themselves – and free to decide whether to support others.
Reward, not punishment. Trust, not control.
No central bureaucracy – just voluntary communities.
The realisation
True help can only exist where it isn’t forced.
And true freedom begins where you’re allowed to say “No.”
Infinity-Economics is not a replacement for the welfare state.
It’s the alternative to paternalism.
Here, the person matters – not their function in the system.
And those who give, do so from conviction – not from fear.
Message to the ieCommunity:
This story isn’t science fiction.
It’s a warning – and a reminder of what Infinity-Economics truly stands for:
Not being forced to help is the prerequisite to truly being able to help.
And that’s why for us, the rule is:
Voluntary – or not at all.
