Expected Outcomes If People Demand This Code
You asked what I see as the outcome if people sit in and demand implementation:
Short-term (Years 1-5):
- Fierce resistance from corporations currently profiting from harm
- Economic disruption as extractive companies fail or transform
- Job losses in harmful industries, offset by job creation in regenerative ones
- Political battles, propaganda campaigns
- But: immediate reduction in some harms (chemical bans, advertising restrictions)
Medium-term (Years 5-15):
- Measurable health improvements (testosterone stabilizes, fertility improves, cancer rates decline)
- Soil regeneration visible, water quality improving
- Shift to cooperative business structures gaining momentum
- Product quality increases, planned obsolescence disappears
- Economic stability improves as extraction → regeneration
- Communities strengthened by local reinvestment
Long-term (15+ years):
- Fundamentally different economy – regenerative rather than extractive
- Health crisis reverses – populations healthier, healthcare costs drop
- Environmental recovery – soil rebuilding, water clean, biodiversity returning
- Economic resilience – based on compounding abundance, not depleting resources
- Social stability – meaningful work, community investment, reduced desperation
- Innovation flourishes – free from pressure to cause harm for profit
The Big Picture: We’d shift from a system optimized for quarterly profit extraction to one optimized for generational human and planetary thriving.
That’s not utopian – it’s just sustainable in the actual meaning of the word.
