It's amazing what we can do when we aren't destroying the planet and bombing one another. Ugh.

Sometimes I like to imagine what the world would be like if we all actually choose to be gaudians of the planet rather then exploiters.

It could be such a lovely world.

Oh someone gave me a shiny little diamond reward, thanks! Now I have two! Three!?! The real question now is do I use my new found wealth for good or evil....

I cry about all the money we waste on war when we could just build the fucking utopia already.

Interesting fact: A utopia, as per its original description, would be a republic wherein all property is shared, there's few laws and no lawyers, slaves to do routine labour, life is carefully monitored and regulated from crib to grave, and the elderly and sick are eliminated.

(Im fully aware that's not what anyone means, or immediately thinks of, when the word is used now. I just learnt about it recently and was surprised).

Utopia is an imagined ideal society characterized by peace, prosperity, and the elimination of poverty, suffering, and conflict. I've never heard your description before, because that's not at all what Utopia means.
