Editing Talk:Procruste

a sort of a troll fighting against standardization...
: why, then't there any trolls fighting *for* standardization?
:: in fact if you are, then you are engaged in [[extreme standard]]s

Shouldn't this article be in [[Wikipedia]]. This isn't really relevant to our [[Consumerium:FAQ|goal]]

:We should have a minimum definition here, since for [[Consumerium]] we care about [[label]]s and thus [[standard]]s, consider variance in types of [http://www.internet-encyclopedia.info/wiki.phtml?title=Truth Truth (IE version)] and [http://disinfopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=Point_of_view point of view (from the propagandists)], his story can be told in a way relevant to that.  For instance the variation in [[ecoregion]]s should lead to different standards.  So P for you in his own ecoregion is fair, but him coming to yours is not, he with his KitKat  McFlurry!

Well...I did not mention it was also a kamasutra position, which "would" have been irrelevant here...

But...I had the feeling it was relevant here, as I believe one of the threat a consumer is meeting is the attempt to reduce him/her to one standard. 

:[[Homogenity]] is very good for the [[capitalist]] [[market economy]], since everybody will [[work]]/[[consume]] much harder to gain some difference from the rest of the people, if everyone desires the same things. [[Heterogenity]] on the other hand is better for the [[planet]] since people don't have to strive so much to feel oneself as an individual, thus reducing the [[ecological]] strain caused by people.

Such as most food portions being adapted to a family of four. Or directing a whole population to eat one product rather than a variety, or for everyone to eat more salty than before to increase drinks sales. To feed everyone with Mac Donald, even if that require small adaptations depending on countries. hum

:HumHum. The consumers get what they want or they get what the marketing people believe the consumers could be tricked to believe to want. No?

::Very true. Now, if you are single, marketing people will have a tough time convincing one, that he wants to eat the same dinner four days in a row. Okay, my potatoes are cooked.

Trolls consider this relevant, metaphorically, like [[world tree]].

There are only a half dozen or so of such concepts.  But this is one.
