'''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. | '''Visions''' are just [[best cases]] that are too good to be true.

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]]. | |||

Forests start to grow back, endangered species flourish, and human conflict is only small scale and directed towards protecting those. It's a garden of Eden. Someone evil who hates this looks into the DNA of the virus and tries to figure out "where it came from". It bears an amazing, but totally coincidental resemblance to code used to deliver [[Consumerium Services]] way way back in the early 2000s or so. Everyone who looks into this DNA mysteriously dies... Eventually this is explained: it came directly from God and God doesn't want His Work investigated, or tinkered with, especially not by these stupid monkeys who very nearly destroyed His Most Perfect Planet. Goddamn stupid hairless apes! Thankfully they have little power now, and are kept in line by what they start to think of as a totally natural karmic feedback effect.... | Forests start to grow back, endangered species flourish, and human conflict is only small scale and directed towards protecting those.
