<div>'''Ape extinction''' is a [[bad thing]], according to other primates. Like us (there is no [[ethical code]] that permits killing near relatives for your own convenience). <br />
<br />
Most people would want their [[individual buying criteria]] to avoid buying things, like the [[rare earth]] [[tantallum]], that get them killed in the [[extraction]] process, which usually also causes [[deforestation]].<br />

<div>If you delete [[heroic songs about trolls]], you MUST also delete THIS article.<br />
<br />
The two are inexorably linked but only magically so in ways known only to [[trolls]].</div>142.177.93.77https://develop.consumerium.org/w/index.php?title=Production&diff=4009Production2004-06-11T07:30:53Z<p>142.177.93.77: </p>

<div>'''Production''', [[distribution]] and [[consumption]] are three phases of the [[product life cycle]] in conventional industrial economics. These have been criticized for failing to include [[extraction]] and [[disposal]], and also the [[renewal]] of resource by [[nature's services]].<br />
<br />
The [[Global Resource Bank]] tries to remove consumption from economics and work exclusively in terms of [[ecological yield]], i.e. production by [[nature's services]], and ignore consumption in the economic equations. This is an extreme view that defies the [[supply and demand]] convention in typical economics.<br />
<br />
When used in industrial context, production refers to the processing [[service]]s and changes in the material inputs that lead to a packaged "product". In a [[service sector]] business, production and distribution are the same thing and consumption is immediate: the [[power grid]] is a good example of this. But a good many products are usually involved behind the scenes. Breaking all of the services involved down into a single [[service economy]] model is very difficult.<br />
<br />
Accordingly a [[production process]] is usually described only in terms of its:<br />
*[[energy input]]<br />
*[[water input]]<br />
*other [[material input]]<br />
*[[waste]] output including [[heat]]<br />
*[[labour]] (or [[individual capital]] which is used up in the process)<br />
*[[infrastructural capital]] which is worn down in the process<br />
*[[financial capital]] invested which must yield some profit in return (though[[energy economics]] recommends looking at total [[energy profit]] instead, it is probably more of an issue in [[sustainability]] than short term performance)<br />
<br />
The output is part of some [[supply chain]] to some other business, or is just consumed by some user. [[Social capital]] which makes customers and workers and owners and suppliers all trust each other, [[instructional capital]] that tells them all what to do when, and the [[natural capital]] (damaged or converted in [[extraction]] and in [[disposal]]) are just ignored in typical economics.</div>142.177.93.77https://develop.consumerium.org/w/index.php?title=Production&diff=4006Production2004-06-11T07:29:02Z<p>142.177.93.77: </p>

<hr />
<div>An '''ethical code''' is a set of rules followed, or supposed to be followed, by some group or trade. It is usually a form of internal discipline. Each [[faction]] has its own, the exact advice and consequences of breaking it are [[factionally defined]]. [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] imposes only a minimum ethical code of its own - see [[rules]] - none of which has much of an impact on [[trolls]], who are those who have not accepted any ethical code. These must be kept in line directly by the [[Lowest Troll]] whom they respect mostly for being in position to bite them on the leg.<br />

<hr />
<div>To '''fork off''' is to create a new forum with the content of the original. See [[self-interested fork problem]], [[bad copy problem]] and [[Wikipedia]].<br />
<br />
It is also used as an invitation to get lost: ''fork off!'' In [[large public wiki]]s, "[[fork off]]" is an insult that invites someone to create one, because they are too stupid or hard to satisfy. [[Trolls]] are usually invited to "fork off" by [[sysop]]s.</div>142.177.93.77https://develop.consumerium.org/w/index.php?title=Fork&diff=15652Fork2004-06-11T07:17:06Z<p>142.177.93.77: </p>
<hr />
<div>A '''fork''' is a variant copy of something, usually [[code]] or a [[corpus]] of documentation. In [[large public wiki]]s, "[[fork off]]" is an insult that invites someone to create one, because they are too stupid or hard to satisfy. [[Trolls]] are usually invited to "fork off" by [[sysop]]s.<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''supply chain''' goes from [[extraction]] to [[distribution]] of products. (It is like the [[food chain]] in [[ecology]]). the company looking at all the [[service]]s it requires from others in order to serve its own customers. ''See also [[value chain]] and [[inventory]].'' [[Industrial ecology]] is about matching supply chains up to minimize the total materials waste and energy use by all businesses involved.</div>142.177.93.77https://develop.consumerium.org/w/index.php?title=Supply_chain&diff=4004Supply chain2004-06-11T07:13:13Z<p>142.177.93.77: </p>

<hr />
<div>'''Extraction''' of resources means converting [[natural capital]] to natural resources or waste, either deliberately or incidentally as some other resource (like [[oil]], [[gas]], [[coal]] or [[gold]]) is extracted. Much damage is done at extraction points - most extremely, the [[e-waste]] done at extraction points is extreme, since [[rare earth]] metals are involved in making chips and these require a great deal of damage to be done at the extraction point to make a single chip. ''See [[Consumerium:intermediate page]] for the way extraction methods specific to an industry are represented.''</div>142.177.93.77https://develop.consumerium.org/w/index.php?title=Erosion&diff=15649Erosion2004-06-11T07:07:51Z<p>142.177.93.77: </p>
<hr />
<div>'''Erosion''' of slopes is the cause of river silting, mudslides, and reduced [[biodiversity]]. It is usually a result of [[deforestation]] on such slopes.<br />
<br />
Erosion prevention is one of the most important of [[nature's services]].</div>142.177.93.77https://develop.consumerium.org/w/index.php?title=Green_Parties&diff=15255Green Parties2004-06-11T07:06:08Z<p>142.177.93.77: </p>
<hr />
<div>'''Green Parties''' try to use [[ecology]] as a replacement for [[ideology]]. That is, instead of using human social beliefs to decide what is important and what can be safely ignored, they try to rely on [[scientific method]] in the science of ecology instead. This is problematic since ultimately science is a culture too, and nothing is completely objective. Green Parties worldwide have a [[w:Global Greens Charter]] that emphasizes the following important values:<br />
*[[ecological wisdom]] (more specifically [[w:ecological health]])<br />
*[[peace]] (or on smaller scale [[w:harms reduction]])<br />
*[[social justice]]<br />
*[[w:participatory democracy]]<br />
*[[respect for diversity]]<br />
*[[sustainability]]<br />
<br />
Many of these values will be reflect in [[buying criteria]], and they provide a reasonable list of concerns that other [[faction]]s will probably share to some degree.</div>142.177.93.77https://develop.consumerium.org/w/index.php?title=Ideology&diff=4248Ideology2004-06-11T07:02:04Z<p>142.177.93.77: </p>
<hr />
<div>'''Ideology''' is a set of beliefs that is very consistent from the point of view of those who believe. It is [[instructional capital]] but rather than telling you what to do, it tells you what to ignore and deny. Then, what to do tends to be quite limited, and you don't feel you are being manipulated by the ideologists. Various ways ideology affects [[Consumerium Services]]:<br />
<br />
*[[institutional buying criteria]] may be set according to some explicit ideology, e.g. [[organized labour]] may pursue a "workers first" ideology or put [[slavery]] elimination above [[ecology]] causes<br />
<br />
*[[political activist]]s may come to push their various viewpoints<br />
<br />
[[Faction]] activity is intended to reflect ideologies and help people to work closely with others who share their ideology before they foist their joint view on everyone else. This will often reduce conflict and prevent forms of [[troll-formative injustice]].</div>142.177.93.77https://develop.consumerium.org/w/index.php?title=Heroic_songs_about_trolls&diff=15732Heroic songs about trolls2004-06-11T06:56:35Z<p>142.177.93.77: </p>

<hr />
<div>So-called '''magnificent trolling''' is [[heroic trolling]] somehow achieved by very despised trolls who drive off even GodKings and discredit ontologists, which is later seen to be a Good Thing. The [[Wikipedia Red Faction]] seems to engage in heroic trolling and to recognize that there is some potential for magnificence in their activities to oppose and end [[Wikimedia corruption]].</div>142.177.93.77https://develop.consumerium.org/w/index.php?title=Heroic_trolling&diff=4846Heroic trolling2004-06-11T06:49:46Z<p>142.177.93.77: </p>
<hr />
<div>'''Heroic trolling''' is [[trolling]] that is recognized by most people (other than the [[sysop power structure]] of course) as doing something useful. For instance, engaging in witty combat until someone very stupid or doing things clearly contradicting the [[wiki mission]] is [[driven off by trolls]]. Or, raising and suggesting ways to fix issues of [[systemic bias]] (which sysops will always claim does not exist). Or, simply acting as [[Lowest Troll]] when there is no one else doing so. Because the Lowest Troll has some social status, however, they cannot achieve what is called [[magnificent trolling]] - this term is reserved for very despised [[trolls]] who drive off even [[GodKing]]s and discredit [[ontologist]]s, which is later seen to be a Good Thing.
