'''Visions''' are just [[best cases]] that are too good to be true. That is, we don't believe in them, and consider them pleasant fantasies. We ~~record these~~ for several reasons:

'''Visions''' are just [[best cases]] that are too good to be true. That is, we don't believe in them, and consider them pleasant fantasies. Like the most optimistic [[best cases]], some will always consider them too strange or unreal, so this page ''should'' usually be linked from [[strange articles]]. We'd wonder what was wrong with people if they thought everything here was totally reasonable.

We do [[visioning]] for several reasons:

#Someone might actually believe in what you think is a fantasy, so you help to expand [[best cases]] by documenting visions that you personally don't believe

-------------------------

REMEMBER: IF YOU CONSIDER ANY OF THESE CREDIBLE THEN YOU MUST PUT A CREDIBLE VERSION OF THEM IN [[best cases]] - '''VISIONS''' ARE ONLY FOR THE IN-CREDIBLE.

If you believe that someone's utopias are actually ''dystopias'', then, feel free to write a parallel entry for [[threats]] to emphasize these aspects. If you think [[worst cases]] will arise from pursuing the vision, e.g. someone loves the [[prison-like power structure]] of the [[Panopticon]], then, feel free to add these aspects to the vision but include some mention (possibly this is the unrealistic element) of how those issues are overcome.

----------

[[Consumerium Credit]] replaces all other [[electronic payment services]]. No [[institutional buying criteria]] can ignore our [[label data]] scheme, and it slowly becomes [[standard]]. Eventually, you just can't sell any [[red light]] product at all, anywhere, to anyone, and expect to still have any customers.

-----------

[[Consumerium Country]] actually comes into existence! A real country declares that nothing that does not get a positive [[Consumerium buying signal]] can be imported at all, and nothing made in that country will be allowed if it is a [[red light]] product. The [[WTO]] is replaced by [[Consumerium Services]].
