Would you rather live in....

[SEVERUSMAX]

....a sci-fi utopia, a dystopia, or the present, for all of its taboos, flaws, imperfections, superstitions, and frustrations?

 

[Munachi]

well since i don't think a perfect world is possible, and the one i am best adapted to is this one...

I'd always be naked, get laid daily, eat stakes, pizza, & drink Dr Pepper

The utopia would have to be of my design, because, of course, only I am capable of creating my perfect world- NOT!

I'm sorry but any utopia, either of my design or someone elses, would be completely boring. The sameness would be stifling to creativity. There needs to change and conflict and difference in each day that I live in order to feel that I have lived. Day to day life in a place that never changes, never differs would be the death of us all!

Bah. MY utopia would of course have change and challenges.

Somehow. Don't ask me how.

Strangely enough I voted for our current. As many flaws and headaches as it has we can still change it.

Many of the Sci-Fi Eutopias I have read about have all had one serious drawback. They were utopias for those at the top.

A Utopia just lacks any appeal to me, at least by conventional ideas of a Utopia. I'm not sure I would want to live in a utopian world I designed even, on a permanent basis. I would get rather bored, I think. A Utopia would be fun for a visit perhaps.

There's a part of me that rather likes a Dystopia (and most of the worlds I have created have been dystopian). There's a certain appeal to them, in a sense. Subsequently, that is what I have chosen, out of genuine, if ephemeral, interest and a desire to mix it up a bit.

Then of course there is reality, with its balance, for better or worse, of positive and negative elements. There is actually a great beauty to the world, even after an idealistic fashion.

i don't know. My utopia would be distinctly dystopian to a lot of folks here. But I'd be happy with it. Of course, i think my utopia would suffer because I'm too literal minded to actually try and create anything approaching perfect

In my utopia, I AM at the top.

After the revolution, your kind will be the first to go!

Okay, I'd probably reward you, Cat, since you're a person I respect. But if you kept speaking up and interfering with my on-top-ness, that would mess with my utopia. And you DON'T mess with MY UTOPIA! MUWAHAHAHAH!

 

[oggbashan]

I am creating mine, in my imagination.

It is on a planet nicknamed Tripletit

All utopias become dystopias.

And a true dystopia or an honest dystopia would have me reaching for the Guy Fawkes mask.

So here works. We'll just have to work to keep it from dystopia and ideally make it at least a little better for those of us who have to live in it.
