Do you think it is possible to create a Utopian civilization in our lifetime, in any future life time?

Question

Is a utopian dream simply a mass delusion? Who decides the laws/rules or definition of a utopia?

All of these answers are awesome, you guys have really covered both ends of the spectrum, what about some definite steps to utopia? Or is it mearly an archetypal ideal that we can only reach through individual consciousness? Perhaps the inner journey of one being...with some
definable ideals...is the path...is this a part of the evolution of consciousness?...is this what will take us along, upward and outward in our evolution as humans...the more we fully express God's divine spark within...the closer we get to world peace and prosperity??? I don't know...what else do you think??

Answer 1

I want you to have a quick look at some of my questions and answers. I humbly state that i believe utopia is achievable and you can see something of it in them.
I believe we must first throw down the idea of convention and live moral golden lives of our own culture even if it is a culture of ONE. If we all become morally mature then laws have no more meaning. This was Gandhi's dream and the hope of the Dalai Lama, that philosophically enlightened anarchy would do away with the necessity of government and law and we would co-operatively work together in respect and mutual dignity as a common wealth world community. But the conventions of society and those who gain from them will never allow this. And as long as they cling to power for power's sake and not for peace and prosperity then all utopians will be killed for being "threats to society", the society they deem worthy to exist. No one questions progress, because to do so is to critique the powers that be and that, my friend, is where the illusion of our freedom will be unveiled to us.
In isolation and quietly we must reach for the stars of a better life and deep within our souls hide it in tiny acts of kindness and humanity unseen to the oppressive powers which command us to live the freedom they deem best.

Answer 2

Great point and I think you've already answered your question. It is an obvious fact, I think, that human beings cannot ever agree on the definition and rules. Even if we assume that it happens and people agree on "one" system, i am almost sure that the next generations would rebel against this system bcs everything is in a constant change and man -made rules can never go beyond this change.So, as in most distopian novels and movies (brave new world, v for vendetta, 1984, equilibrium) a rebel would unavoidable, I think.

Answer 3

No.

We are all basically flawed whether it's greed, materialism, laziness, jealousy, etc. Families that love one another fight. We can't all just get along. We CAN try though.
Disney built a town in Florida called Celebration. It was supposed to be a Utopia. They worked really hard to make it a perfect place to live. It is really quaint but they have their share of problems.
As a Christian, I believe I have to wait for heaven for perfection!

Answer 4

unquestionably yet Adam & Eve did not even ought to be a narrative on the different planets, he might have took each and every thing an entire distinctive direction in the event that they weren't in any respect kicked out of the backyard of eden, their civilization would not be progressed however. they could in simple terms be in a backyard bare being in simple terms approximately as animals are, so somewhat primitive

Answer 5

There'd be no way to make a single, perfect Utopia, because no one would ever agree on the very aspects that would make it Utopian!

Answer 6

No, because we are running out of oil and natural gas. We have no plan to provide the amount of energy we are accustomed to using as demand increases and supply decreases. Things are only going to get worse and worse. Laws and rules are secondary to having enough energy, water, food, medicine etc.

Answer 7

It's only utopia for the beneficiaries. The slug workers would be hard pressed to agree that it's utopia.

Answer 8

I think that it is not obtainable.

How would you obtain a perfect society without completely controling all the citizens so they won't step out of line? Sounds Orwellian to me.

Answer 9

Utopian civilization is only attainable in the minds of the demented. WE can wish, and try but it will never happen.... ever.

Answer 10

Only if you can change the laws of the universe, namely the all pervasive 2nd Law of Therm. and its corresponding corollaries found in Murphy's Law....
