Yes? @épée
Just Introducing you m8
Hey
Utopias. An impossible ideal. The idea of what it truly is changes with the zeitgeist, often reflecting both our greatest fears and values. We may never achieve the idea of Utopia, but we can strive for a betterment of our current lives and lives of others. What that entails, however, is the first hurdle
Im listening... @zerohero007

Wait
If power corrupts a man, what about being poor
Because thinking of it now, some of the poor people I've meet are the nicest and most Grateful people I have ever met
what about the I see so I grab
poor guys
Hmmm there are those individuals too...
That begs the question.. why is there such a drastic difference
You either see and grab or your nice and grateful
I've found that being poor makes people reflect. The free time they have and the powerlessness they feel almost makes them look back o themselves
It's like there's no mid way
I wouldn't say that if it was for gang members as they have people to fall back on who mold there personality. True homeless with no one to fall back on have nothing. And that gives there personality everything.
Wow
...Besides the drugs they turn to, so they can cope.
Poverty seems to have a humbling effect on people
@épée For me, Communism is an early industrial era Utopia. Atomic era/Late Industrial era Utopia is something akin to Brave New World. A scientifically advance technocracy with an emphasis on reality and the capacity to ignore it in favor of constant pleasure. The information age Utopia is Player One Ready, in which we can no longer escape reality and must admit to our inability to create Utopia irl. But online is our Oasis.
But in my opinion such technology is far from utopia. Like a mirage it is not real. It is simulated happiness.
In other words, the modern zeitgeist is that the world is fucked, and we have responded by retreating into the last known refuge of freedom and the last chance to find something that will better our world.
@Harry C I know, but it is reflective of how we feel. The oasis in the book not only held an escape from reality but a chance to better reality. Like a mirage of an oasis to man dying in a desert.
Congratulations, @zerohero007 for reaching level 1!
Fuck your level 1
It is a chance to better reality. However it is if future humans don't get trapped by the virtual one. They may see no need to improve the real world when the one they built feels so much better.
Yall
*I'm a communist*

@Harry C This is where our current society is at.
But it's only getting worse @zerohero007
Oculus rift for example.
Wrong, it's getting better @Harry C .
Liberty and freedom have been under attack for years and recently there has been a backlash against authoritarian forces.
