to grok Utopia

Post by Advocate »

Utopia is a direction, not a destination. No one knows what utopia will be like, but everyone knows what direction it is from here.

In fact most people have spent little time understanding their own deepest priorities.

Distinct, exact, positive steps can be made toward Utopia to the extent people understand themselves, are adequately able to communicate those needs, and reason is given priority.

Naysayers like to lump all utopian visions together as impossible, impractical, or even evil. The fact remains, it's the best we can hope for and there's no reason Not to try.

What does it mean if you never think of Utopia?

Utopia is a place without guns and weapons.

It's the place where Pandora's Box was never opened.

Where is that place?
