New page

The [[Consumerium]] '''glossary''' is those terms which must be understood or broadened or narrowed in the [[Wiktionary]] to enable Consumerium's mission. In general this requires three types of terminology shift:
*adding terms that the general public does not yet know, e.g. [[ecoregion]]
*narrowing terms that are usually understood too locally, e.g. "[[safe]]"
*broadening terms that have many different ways to define, e.g. "[[fair]]"

In addition it might be necessary to simply fix definitions of terms that are wrong, e.g. "[[done]]" or "[[person]]", most people simply do not understand that legal and moral definitions of these can vary widely and drastically.

The preliminary list of terms to ensure are defined correctly and compatibly in all languages, without all of which Consumerium makes no sense or can't work:

*[[bad]] not evil
*[[biosphere]] includes terrestrial ecoregions, oceans, atmosphere, is a big body
*[[body]]
*[[buy]] can have moral criteria, one can do evil by buying
*[[commodity]] as services - a good backed by standard contracts, trade empire
*[[cost]] only calculable through risk, until you know what is done
*[[done]] as legal concept
*[[ecology]] of Earth
*[[ecoregion]]
*[[evil]]
*[[faction]] agrees what person, safe, fair, done, evil, forgive and ignore mean.
*[[fair]] as ecologically founded but socially negotiated
*[[forgive]]
*[[forgiveness]] as measurable
*[[good]] as services - a product backed by social custom, legal guarantees
*[[ignorance]]
*[[ignore]] outcomes you consider evil, which is ignorance, not always bad
*[[illth]] is opposite of wealth
*[[instructional]] responsibility - you tell 'em how, it's your fault
*[[measure]]
*[[person]] is not always human: could be ape, corporation. legal concept
*[[regret]] measurable
*[[resource]] includes waste
*[[risk]] only basis of cost
*[[service]] includes things states do, e.g. regulate markets, tax, set standards
*[[power]] in energy, social, instructional/knowledge/skill, buying sense
*[[safe]] as social not objective idea except via ecology to a degree
*[[sell]] can have moral conditions
*[[social]] trust
*[[waste]] as resource
*[[wealth]] as well-being
*[[well-being]]
