Over time however our [[mutual cognition]] should converge, and those who believe overly optimistic things should be convinced to reclassify their most outrageous best cases as [[visions]]. That leaves here only what is possible realistically once we have avoided [[worst cases]]. A best case should almost always include some note of how we overcame opposition and inertia - it is obviously impractical to fantasize about what would happen if no one was out there against us. Such "march to inevitable victory" should go in [[visions]]. | Over time however our [[mutual cognition]] should converge, and those who believe overly optimistic things should be convinced to reclassify their most outrageous best cases as [[visions]].

'''''Empire of Consumerium''''' - all producers of anything use [[Consumerium Services]] before marketing to see if their product will turn on the [[green light]] or the [[red light]] for users of [[Consumerium checker]] devices we have [[patent]]ed and controlled so no one can create a [[bad copy problem]]. If it's red light, they literally can't get bankers to create money for them to do it. If it's green, it's almost automatic. We are now regulating access to debt. | |||
Eventually, as countries agree to create [[currency]] based only on [[ecosystem health]] criteria, we have inordinate influence. However, enemies prevent us from actually stopping all illegal activity and black markets continue. Some[[visions]] begin to evolve that imagine what would occur if there was a way to classify all products containing plant or animal matter according to its DNA or trace materials... | |||
:Ummm. For an empire you'd need an emperor and I really don't want to know who the fool is that would think it would be nice to be the emperor. Could we please try to stick to more down to earth issues? [[User:Juxo|Juxo]] | |||

'''''Ubiquitous Consumerium''''' - price checking devices also include signals from [[Consumerium]] so the [[ecological liability]] and [[social liability]] (separately) are reported to all consumers, and both are printed on the actual receipt you get at the checkout. Even if you don't care about the red-to-green ratio (as close to zero as possible), the other shoppers behind you might, as they see the colour of the light above your head. Social pressure pushes all [[developed nation]] shopping in our direction. Tourists avoid "red light districts" where most shopping is irresponsible, fearing they will get sick or attacked by the obviously irresponsible people. Shops specializing in red light goods get treated roughly as bad as those selling sex goods in the last century. It's profitable but it's more or less black market and you can't brag about the money you're making to your friends, and you lose some of those friends when they find out you're doing it. | '''''Ubiquitous Consumerium''''' - price checking devices also include signals from [[Consumerium]] so the [[ecological liability]] and [[social liability]] (separately) are reported to all consumers, and both are printed on the actual receipt you get at the checkout.

[[Consumerium Credit]] catches on with a small elite group like [[Greens]] and [[Reds]] who use it as a status symbol that they are "out of the bank system". Since it's possible to track who actually obeys their [[individual buying criteria]] and who doesn't, there's a "hypocrisy index" for members of the [[Consumerium Buying Club]] (if you let it be published, then, you get some nice discounts) which tends to get revealed for politicians and most managers. | [[Consumerium Credit]] catches on with a small elite group like [[Greens]] and [[Reds]] who use it as a status symbol that they are "out of the bank system".
