Full Title or Meme

Utopia or Erewhon, are fictional places where humans have created a peaceful community where cooperation has become a way of life.

Context

  • As always for this wiki the context revolves around the support of human individuals on the World Wide Web.
  • Lyman Tower Sargent, a professor of political science whose main academic interests are in utopian studies, argues that utopia's nature is inherently contradictory, because societies are not homogenous and have desires which conflict and therefore cannot simultaneously be satisfied. If any two desires cannot be simultaneously satisfied, true utopia cannot be attained because in utopia all desires are satisfied.
  • So too for identity utopias, they cannot be attained because not all needs can be met by any one system.
