    I've just now seen this board's interest in the Utopian ideology. What do you guys think? Will a utopia fix the world? Will it self-implode? Will it advance the human race? Pleas don't stick to these questions, they are off the top of my head, I'll provide my view once we get other.

    a utopia cannot exist unless everyone is in it, outside influence will eventaully seep in, and I don't think that century old grudges will relieve anytime soon. Utopia also leaves no room for innovation, which equals no advancement

    a utopian world would mean no advancement since a competitive society virtually means innovation.

    i think there will always be a balance in the world like everything else

    facepalm.gif When the hell did I say that the world must be a Utopian society. All you need to do is have a secluded society. Don't you guys read Ray Bradbury or play Bioshock?

    ok, fine. But reading the first post i will add a new question:

    Can a utopia exist without everyone belonging to it?

    A utopia doesn't have people wasting their time spinning pens.

    Depends on how the utopia would work. I mean, has anyone read A Brave New World? That's a utopia, "everyone" is happy, but I wouldn't want to live in a world like that. Who creates the utopia? For who is it a utopia and for who not? What does it involve, everyone just being happy? What is being happy?

    Sure an utopian world can exist, you just have to get the idealists and romantics in there only.

    A Utopia will never work, a perfect society would have to be run by people with the knowledge to make a Utopia, and to have everything run perfect, but every human is fallible, and if there never was a perfect society, how can anyone know how to create one? The Utopia would have to create itself, do you think a perfect society can be created in a instant, if so.. how will anyone know if it's perfect without being in it, and if that one person is in the Utopia to find out, it then isn't perfect.
