...free basic food
...credit based system for buying stuff not linked to monetary value
...no nuclear power, all thermo-nuclear
...no party politics
...no class beyond working class
...computers and robots doing most of the work
...peace on earth (unless aliens arrive and are hostile)

Don't ridicule me, this IS going to happen, eventually. :fing26:

Genetic explanations replacing accountability, morality, punishment, unhappiness, responsibility. Everyone will do anything without a second-thought.

Are you a member? I'd have to do a lot of reading before committing to anything. :smile:

I've been referred to as more of a neo-communist, truth be told i don't know the difference but i was told by a uni educated friend.

I love Utopiacs, I think I would be one myself, but the more history I read the more I realise human history is cyclical and that it really just follows some grand chaotic fractal schema which sees cycles of growth and civilisation collapse in to entropy and decay over and over again.

I'm glad there are people who believe in a progressive development of humanity though because they are often drivers of positive change in life, full of inspired energy.

Human history may well be cyclical, that's not to say human future will be also.

Sounds a bit boring, Mitch...what will people aim for??

I think when the need to strive for basic everyday needs is taken away, life becomes soulless and depressing. :frown1:

 

[HiddenLacey]

I like the not having to work so much and peace on earth

Does a child have the need to strive for anything? Nope.

If people worked less and had more time to enjoy life then people would'nt be so stressed or depressed. There would be little crime.
And ultimately the very thing that most people want is just to be happy. Life as it is spoils hopes and dreams more than encourage them.

Speaking as someone who strives to make ends meet from the start of a month to the end i can tell you that life already feels soulless and depressing.

Yep, not likely in our lifetimes tho. Just gonna have to stick fingers up to government instead. :biggrin1:

Hey at the last census I put "Existential Nihilist" down, bet that gave them some pause. :tongue:

I try not to think about government to much. Everyone's so angry about everything all the time. Democrats and Republicans and Conservatives and Librals and Independents.... does any of that really matter? Any of the titles? Can't we just all work together on the problems and leave the hate out of it.

I'm inclined to believe it did! Thank god for google! :redface:

100% agree. Great minds do think alike.

I agree. That would be a boring existence. If you don't produce anything, if you are just given everything you consume, you would not put much value on anything.
