Do you think your Ideal World/Society is possible in Future?

[Phil25]

Do you think your Ideal World/Society is possible in Future? For some, their Ideal society would be a place where everyone cares about Enviroment, for others it maybe a place where everyone follows a specific Religion. But do you, rationally, think that your Ideal World is Possible?

 

[savagewind]

It is possible. It is a place where everyone respects life. It is not a perfect place and everyone is not of the same religion. But there everyone loves the WHOLE and each other.

 

[Tarheeler]

Yes, I think it's both possible and probable.

 

[Quintessence]

No, because it violates the current laws of this-world in so many ways it isn't even funny.

 

[Bunyip]

Personally I do not think that a perfect society is even desirable, let alone possible. Chaos, change and uncertainty all have benefits.

When considering the Christian concept of heaven for example - it has always struck me as more nightmarish than utopian.

 

[illykitty]

I don't think an ideal or utopic world is possible, but something considered "utopic" relative to our current society, yes. It depends which way we want to go.

I think at the very least, we'll have to make some serious change if we want humanity to continue. The environment isn't going to magically get better for us. Now that would be delusional!

 

[Penumbra]

Depends how far you mean.

There are many places in the world that are peaceful and prosperous and free, and have the highest self-reported happiness and other more objective measures of well-being like health and education. If some spots can do it, in theory, all parts can.

But violent crime happens everywhere. There's always a subset of people that are malevolent.

And disease and suffering happens everywhere; there's only so much that medicine and surgery can do so far. Plus I think a global lack of environmentalism and overpopulation is really going to do us in pretty hard one day.

So I mean I don't think any utopias will happen, but clearly some countries serve as models for what could be, compared to other countries.

 

[The Sum of Awe]

Nah... Unfortunately, I hold pessimistic views of the future of humanity.

 

[TheScholar]

In the near future, no. In the next 20 to 30 years, yes.

 

[InChrist]

I believe it is possible only through the return and reign of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace upon the earth.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

But do you, rationally, think that your Ideal World is Possible?

Not if it's populated by humanity.
