It's most likely impossible. but feedback would be great.
Listing why it is impossible would be great, too.
Would you need to start over with the arrival of human beings? Is there a plan to fix our world how it is now? etc etc.
I hope there's all reasonable answers. If anyone goes Hitler on me, or shows characteristics of extremism is something I am not looking for.
anyways. Thanks for your answers!

I think that for a better society we need:
Tolerance, empathy and education for all in the world.
People respecting each other in all nations and cultures, and following the same ideal.

I actually think it is possible to achieve this, if maybe not right now, and not easily.
The perfect society, in my opinion, is one which accepts that there is one perfect occupation for each individual, and that it must be up to the individual to decide how much it can contribute at any given time.
Jointly with that ideology, this would need to be a society which hones the basic skills of survival, enabling every individual to feed themselves off the earth. Proliferation of that knowledge would occur through parenting.
Utopian, you think?
Check out the Maka and Guarani Indians, as well as the native tribes of the South American Amazon Basin.
They've been living the only sustainable future there is for mankind on this planet for millennia. Our only other option would be to become space rovers. And I don't think that's the more elegant solution of the two, as it, too would require societal organization.
The perfect society though is one in which each individual is fully autonomous to the point where it can co-exist in harmony with all others.

Hmmm,
It's simple. We need a society in which everything is reversible, so that we can correct for our mistakes until we reach the aboluste best possible resolution for all issues at hand. We need the pause, rewind, and reset buttons for our world. Maybe, there is, except that we do not know about it because we are being rewinded ourselves in that universe.
That isn't to say we need in a perfect world, but that we live in a world that is intertwined with good and evil, with an outcome that is better than all the other permutations of possible universes, given that we all need our free will.
Otherwise, we would need 6 billion unique universes for all 6 billion people.

Actually I like it like this. We feel love, sorrow, happy and pleasure. We make mistakes and we learn. This is the life and I'm loving it!

This is from my blog. It is an ever-growing list of laws I will enact when I am Dictator of the World. Mind you, I will be a benevolent dictator, but a dictator nonetheless.
If this means "Going Hitler" I apologize, but dictatorship is the most effective form of government.
1. Oreos will not be available in formats other than Double Stuff.
2. Politically incorrect Warner Brothers cartoons will once again be shown on Saturday mornings and after school.
3. Wearing a "Bluetooth" style wireless earpiece when not actually engaged in a phone conversation will be immediately punishable by death.
4. Reality TV show "losers" will be executed at the end of each episode...along with the citizens who have called in to vote for the loser. After a few seasons, loyal reality TV show viewers will no longer exist and we can all move on with our lives.
5. Dog owners will receive one paid day off a month for each dog in their household per full-time employee. (ie. 2 people own 2 dogs, each gets one day off a month.) On that day cat owners will have to work the dog owners shift without overtime.
6. Since one needs to know basic arithmatic and algebra to complete calculus exams, one will also have to know ancient and medevial history to complete an exam about 20th century history. There are too many freeloaders out there in the humanities field and they all must be disposed of.
7. Voting rights will be granted only to those who can pass a civics exam with an 85% or higher. Additionally, no one will be granted the right to vote if they cannot explain the US Constitution and the Electoral College process at least at an elementary level. All of this is moot because when I am dictator of the world because your vote will be worthless.
8. A box of Girl Scout Cookies shall not exceed the price of a gallon of gasoline.
9. Car Alarms will be outlawed.
10. Filling a travel cup with coffee shall not cost more than $1.oo (A certain doughnut shop in my town expected me to pay $2.09 to refill my cup. I laughed and made them pour out the coffee because I could get it across the street for $0.75.)
11. Muppets created after I stopped watching Sesame Street (1981) will be purged and their existance shall be nullified from all records. This applies only to Sesame Street Muppets (ie. Prarie Dawn, Elmo, etc.) No harm shall come to any Muppet who was specifically developed for a Muppet Movie.
12. Following an individual's second day of skiing, ever, a punishment of 20 lashes shall be administered to anyone wearing snowpants that are tucked into ski boots. Furthermore, Rear-Entry Ski Boots will only be made in children's sizes. On second thought, if a 4 year old can get into snowboarding boots, then they can jolly well get into a pair of regular ski boots.
13. Rear Entry Ski Boots Shall Be Banned. Anyone wearing them may be laughed at for a period of five to ten minutes.
14. The packaging for decaffinated coffee shall be kelly green with traffic cone orange lettering. It shall be stocked on supermarket shelves no less than one isle away from regular, full of caffine, real friggin' coffee. Thus eliminating any possibility that decaf will ever be purchased by mistake. (ie. the crap that happened to me at Wegman's a week ago.)
15. Latte will be banned. A) It is a woosy-assed drink for posh suburbanites. B) The last thing woosy-assed suburbanites need is a 300 calorie coffee-based drink that puts more fat on their asses that sit in oversized SUVs that they can't friggin' drive anyway.
16. Veegans will be rounded up and sent to a tropical island inhabited by lions, tigers, and bears...(oh my!) All other animals will be removed from the island. In their place, television cameras will be installed. For a modest fee, one may subscribe to the live TV feeds to see if the Veegans get eaten, or if they break down and smite the mighty beasts.
17. Vending machines that dispense Ice Cream Sandwiches, Tastykake Creme Filled Coffee Cakes, and Pizza will be conveniently located next to all soda machines.
18. All grocery stores will have a beer/wine/liquor section. (for those of you who don't know what I mean, come to grocery store in Pennsylvania.)
19. Olives will serve no other purpose than as cocktail garnish.
20. Kellogg's Cracklin' Oat Brand will be available in a generic form. Granted since I will be Dictator of the World, I will be able to get as much Cracklin' Oat Bran as I wish....but it's a matter of principal. Almost $4.00 for a box of cereal is friggin' insane. If they can make Frosted Flakes for Malt-O-Meal, then they can jolly well do it with Cracklin' Oat Bran.
21. Sending a "Fwd" email with full headers will be punishable by flogging. Five minutes for each set of headers included in the email. Additionally, sending a forward that contains duplicates of the original body will result in the sender being forced to listen to dramatic readings of the Diary of Anne Frank as read by Gilbert Godfreid. (Watch out baby-boomers...ye are amongst the most guilty.)
22. Greatest Hits Albums will be outlawed unless one or both of the following is true: A) The artist is dead. B) The artist has retired. Artists/Estates of artists will then be allowed to produce ONE Greatest Hits Album. It will be restricted to ONE CD. It must contain material from at least THREE albums. Under NO circumstances WHATSOEVER will "Previously Unreleased" material be allowed to be on the Greatest Hits CD....because it's not a F-ing Hit at all if it has never been released!
23. Luxury Pick-Up Trucks will be outlawed. I saw a Lincoln pick-up the other day....what's the point?
24. Your cell phone number will be your landline number. We have the technology.
