Utopia, is it achievable?

[rspooper]

Who knows? We can't be certain of anything relating to the future.

Utopia isn't possible. Crime will always be there and it wont stop. Oil is getting used up very fast while the population is rising very fast. Also humans must fight its a uncontrollable instinct to fight amogsnt ourselves

:S

 

[Denial]

Humanity would never allow such a thing, it would be an atrocity.

I'm not really sure what you mean, but to me there are certain principles to be followed, one's rights start where other peoples end, true liberty is utopia, liberty in practice is the absence of arbitrary coercion, true justice must be objective, but this can't be achievable since no one can get rid of their own subjectiveness

I think that a utopia is too much of a personal opinion. My utopia might not be your idea of a utopia and so on and such. I think it's all inter-personal what a utopia means.

Utopia will never be able to exist as we as humans are very far from being perfect, therefore we could never make anything perfect without destroying ourselves in the process.

I don't think its possible because everybody's vision of Utopia is different. What makes someone happy is bound to make another person mad.

I was also thinking that - Everyone can't be rich. Then, no one wants to do the lower tasks of society. Eventually, nothing gets done and society fails.

It's not possible here.

Maybe somewhere else....

Never, it won't happen, since people choose things according to their likings, and everyone is different. Unless everyone gets their own planet and clones themselves, you won't see a utopia here. Impossible concept, and if someone mentions that piece of shit un-educated schizophrenic move zeitigiest, I will then lose all my faith in humanity.

Lol. You mean like starting the fire? Boiling the water? Digging the foundations of a large building?

Oh wait we have machines to do that, and we'll have more machines in the future. Yes everyone can be rich, by an objective -- not a relative -- standard. You all live better than most kings did in the middle ages in terms of your material wealth. Your time obligations are a different matter, but that is mostly due to your evil notions of government.

The title is pretty much self-explanatory. Is a utopia able to exist. Or is the closest we will be to this, dystopia.

I dont think its a case of society being either a utopia or dystopia. While we may never achieve a utopia I believe we're far from living in a dystopia.
