Utopia

The Paradox of Utopia by Microsoft Designer AI

Utopian fantasies always envision the society of the future, where humanity has fully adopted the ideology being advocated and all of our problems have been solved.

The desire to pursue these ends directly instead of through evolution and incremental change has been the cause of the biggest genocides in history. So metaculture will take that lesson as learned and avoid putting forth any particular vision of what form the society of the future should take.

Instead, it simply advocates for new incentive structures based around the pursuit of happiness over money, science over superstition, and cooperation over competition. The only goal is progress. Where this leads humanity is for the future to reveal.

Why we would be happier without Utopia

Ursula K. Le Guin's The Dispossessed is one of the all-time greatest science fiction novels exploring the concept of utopia. It attempts to describe a "utopian" society based on anarchist principles. It is unique among utopian novels in that it doesn't propose a static society, but one that constantly undergoes revolution and self-correction to ensure freedom from rigid modes of thought.

The TV series Utopia is one of the most jarring illustrations of the extremism that utopian visions can enable in the name of the "greater good." Warning: it is extremely violent and disturbing!
