What would you say would be the Utopian society?

[Jpp]

.No lust for money aka greed.

Greed is not exactly lust for money, it's lust for power and in the present world it is pretty much the same thing since money is power but in an utopian society money could be much less powerful and something else could be of much greater power therefore saying "lust for money aka greed" could be incorrect. It's probably better to just change it to "no greed"

Judging by the way we're going, a technological utopia seems likely.

[Dhrizzle]

The Culture.

[Vizardlorde]

The Utopian society would be one that is free of the horrible creatures know as human beings ( Im not saying we should all go with a bang just that we should evolve past our humanity and get rid of our unnecessarily dark nature)

There isn't one, any attempt towards a Utopian society is really one in the opposite direction, the more perfect one tries to make a society of individuals the more they try and remove the individuality of each person creating a dystopian society.

This here, try the book "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley.

[Daws001]

A society focused on knowledge and wisdom and where all religions/faiths have degraded into mythology.

Health care for everybody. I wouldn't want to live without it

[Landin55]

Me as the god emperor of the world and beyond. That counts as a utopia....for me right?

[Lylandra]

But, using values of the Enlightenment, putting value on skepticism, free-inquiry and critical thinking, focusing on solidarity and creating and upholding equal rights for all, finding ways to enrich society as a whole and not just a privileged cast, doing away with irrational and divisional prejudices and dogmas and trying to think empathetically are all things we could use to improve the lives of the majority of people and move closer to an ideal but we could never truly get there.

This for the general state of mind. Learning how to accept each other as individual beings with different interests who are not simply stereotypical copies of one's image of [group X]. Being able to live in peace without greed or envy. Devaluation of all luxuries.

For the laws: Allowing anything that doesn't put another being to harm (without their consent) as we'd all be perfectly educated and knew exactly the risks of any task we're about to take. And this includes many forms of people who live together as a "couple" or "family" (beyond our western understanding, as other cultures do not acknowledge a "single mother" and "single father" of a child). No death penalty, but closed psychological help for those who committed crime.

Abandoning all forms of money. Instead, make sure that every person can and will do for a living whatever he/she likes or is best at. And this might change over the course of a life. Give each individual enough resources to lead a fulfilling life independent of job and performance. Give out free education to everyone, mentoring each child individually so they will be able to find out their true talents and fight their innate weaknesses. De-value competition for educational "marks", but value "competition" for research.

Reform the planet's ecosystem back to a healthy one, find out ways to generate energy out of solar/water/wind/terrestrial/cosmic radiation/fusion energy. Research and allow only industry that does not damage the environment. Find out a way to make the moon or Mars or another planet inhabitable if population growth would not go down (even if it most certainly would once all countries were well developed and educated)

[Sevyvia]

A free and empirically-based society.

Probably negative liberty by most people's standards. Given their babyish lack of interest in facts except those twisted to chime with their own biases and love of corrupt but authoritarian parental figures in government.

[Windry]

Universal language, something we make zero effort towards, and I just don't understand why.

[Fuzzzie]

Worship the Cylon God. That will work out, I'm sure.

[Deleted]

Borg-like hive mind would probably make people a lot happier.

[Holy]

Basically you just need the ability to create matter without limit. With this ability no one goes hungry, there is no war over resources and you don't have to waste half your life doing something you probably don't want to be doing (IE work.)

[Jurwi]

No religions would be the best way to start it.

What we got so far
.Intellectual resources focused on
.Adam and eve esque story for everyone
.Emotional problems to have solutions
.Removal of social standings
.Wifi for everyone " is important"
.robots to take care of us
.computer chips to change our emotions at will
.Less faith, more asking why
.self sustaining robot ecosystem
.people that understand that their way is not the only way
.No weapons, no alcohol
.No lust for money aka greed.

Funny. We got this so far, yet at the same time we shouldn't understand people who have faith, or people who like alcohol, etc.
