All energy needs in the physical world entirely provided by automated machine work while humanity lives inside a digital singularity with limitless possibility for anything.
Everyone is thinking utterly small in this thread. The highest, wildest, utopia-ist future is a completely workless space where resources are truly limitless and "reality" is anything at all. The only thing humanity will then have to worry about is how to overcome entropy or the heat death of the universe trillions of years down the line in the real universe outside of their digital space.
Almost everything people are describing in this thread is achieved just by the final defeat of capitalism. There are absolutely ridiculous levels of utopia to imagine that exist far beyond that victory.
At a certain point, it stops being a question of how to organize a perfect society and starts being a question of whether it's possible to be an ethical demiurge.
The only thing that id personally add to this is a semi-hivemind for all of humanity, as i feel that only real deeply engrained actual interconnectedness will be able to prevent individuals fucking over the whole of humanity in the long run. Only semi tho, as our differences and therefore differing views on everything are what make us as humans really interesting (and i just want to stay me, assimilation sounds shit).
it's pretty much just pokemon lol. you're able to walk almost anywhere, people get to spend time outside again instead of being chronically online, there's universal healthcare both for people and for pets.
Solarpunk and ultra localized manufacturing.
Towns covered in solar panels, community gardens everywhere and 3D printing community centers for everyday commodities made on demand and freely, instead of mass produced for profit.
Way less cars, as most necessities can be walked to, or on a short bus trip.
TRAINS MOTHAFUCKAS.
Co-ops, Co-ops everywhere!
Liquid democracy! Vote on all issues yourself, or give your vote to someone you trust to represent you. Don't worry if they start lying! Your vote is near instantaneous to revoke from your representative!
Restorative Justice being heavily emphasized over Punitive Justice. We should strike at the root of criminality and not just lock up the symptom and hope it goes away.
Probably more of I though about.
Oh yeah Posadist, so nukes, dolphins, underwater birthing and alien comrades, too.
Liquid democracy
Which Metal Gear Solid game is this from?
In all seriousness, the setting from Lancer seems to be the best that can be realistically hoped for (minus the mechas and God stealing one of Mars' moons)
One of my favorite things to imagine is that cool sights and natural wonders don't make me feel like a tourist when I get to see them. Less roads, less fenced off places, no tickets required, etc. If there was going to be food, it would be authentic to the place where I'm going and not a food truck with burgers and fries for exorbitant prices. I want to visit Peru and I'm so terrified that Machu Picchu is going to be a tourist trap shit hole. I'm ready for the US to seize it and make concrete stairs that plough through the ancient buildings so it's easier to climb to increase sales by 15%.
Also, I want to go around saly-of-the-Earth places and see happy people. I don't want them desperately selling jewelry and having trouble getting enough to eat. I don't want their lot in life primarily defined by some terrible neoliberal fuckery. I want night life to be like an inn in a medieval movie/game. Not in the aesthetic, but insofar that a bunch of people are hooting and hollering with enough money to go "drinks are on me tonight!" People are playing instruments and cheering - and it's not just because they pulled off a heist or robbed some nobleman. Authentic, wholesome, foreign experiences would be wholly incompatible with some city wonks coming in and building a McDonald's and an oil refinery.
Or how about Mosi-oa-Tunya being renamed Victoria Falls? The smoke that thunders is 1,000,000,000x more badass! Both of these are examples of settlers not getting along well with the native people of that land.
i am very simple, i just want a world where people enjoy their jobs and work because they want to
I generally enjoy my job (underground mine support/backfill/construction). Most of the time though I'm just sitting around with nothing to do, but have to show up anyway because who could imagine a world where (at least) 40 hours of your life isn't given to a company. Hell, yesterday I was legitimately bummed out that it was the end of shift and I didn't have time to see a project through to completion. I would have loved to finish it just for the personal satisfaction of a job well done. Capitalism is pretty efficient at sucking the joy out of workers who enjoy labor. I'm sure this is more common in salt-of-the-earth physical labor type jobs.
I yearn for a world where no one feels the need to lie, that would be amazing
Literally the extent of my imagination is "this with no starvation or malaria and no advertisements"
No time for health care, you're late for your 4 o'clock dick-flattening appointment
A "return" to living in harmony with nature without sacrificing medical and technological progress. Basically, the technology of star trek with an anprim aesthetic. Everything would be provided by nature. Technology has integrated with the world to the point that it is nature. Sometimes I think about writing a short story of my view of this kind of utopia. Visions of a world covered in forests, giant sequoias replacing skyscrapers. Pure utopia "post apocalyptic" shit.
If you write it, I'd like to read it. If you want some inspiration for 'living tech' check out the Hyperion Cantos, they've got pilgrims traveling through space on enormous tree-ships with organic force fields.
Just art. Art everywhere: every creative person who used to have to spend talent on creating for a paycheque, or making advertising, or bourgeoisie propaganda just gets to create for themselves and for others without the soul crushing knowledge that if they don't produce the right thing they might be homeless or go hungry. I love the idea of no one having to struggle for food or shelter, but even more I want to see the world when our hobbies and passions can freely be our entire lives without any restrictions.
