My mama told me never to volunteer information. I don't see that strategy resulting in Consumerium or pubwan. | My mama told me never to volunteer information. I don't see that strategy resulting in Consumerium or pubwan. | ||
::[[Wikipedia]] proves people will contribute if they care. It doesn't prove that anything worthwhile results. And the [[sysop vandalism]] and [[sysop vigilantiism]] could be worth here if we figure out the [[Consumerium Process]] wrong. One mistake they made at Wikipedia was not figuring out how they would ever get a print version out at the end! | |||
''Please, though, we have enough abstract terminology! We don't need to talk about "virtual objects" and other such non-terms here. We need if anything to focus on the concretes, so your input at [[Consumerium User Stories]], [[best cases]], etc., is welcomed particularly.'' | ''Please, though, we have enough abstract terminology!

::Well, we argue a lot about abstract terms here, for good reasons. We have to have an abstraction everywhere there's a choice. That's how coders think. So a [[Consumerium buying signal]] has an abstract name like "signal" since it might be [[print]], [[audio]], [[video]] displayed, compiled into a whole lot of such signals in a [[book]], or even be used to brief people walking around encouraging and helping people to buy only [[green light]] products, and etc. So there is clearly an abstract signal which shoves all these people towards one type of product and away from another - that's "[[moral purchasing power]]" and it will move them in a different direction than plain old [[advertising]]. We can justify the abstraction by the power it gives. | |||
::If you want the terminology, you may find [[Recyclopedia]] useful, as it has some subjects censored at [[Wikipedia]] that are essential to [[Consumerium]] and similar projects. | |||
