You believe in the possibility of a better world, right? Right. I'm simply assuming that'll be your answer, because you wouldn't be SO cynical as to deny the very possibility of things being made better than they are, by at least some margin. OK, then. Utopia, what do you think of that? Here I believe ways will divide: between (1) those who want to allow for utopia as a really really good, maybe close to perfect, future; (2) those (like me) who want to allow for the possibility of utopia only in the more limited sense of a much better world than we've got but still with lots of conflicts, problems, blemishes; and (3) those sceptical even of this, but who just think things could maybe be non-utopianly a bit better.
I have decisive evidence today that no one should place themselves in category (1) above. Here it is: not war or genocide, not bigtime stuff of any kind. Instead, neighbours falling out and going to law over what is termed, delicately, 'unscooped dog poop'. The dream of eternal harmony makes no sense in light of such low-level, everyday frictions. Read (under the link) about PooPrints before making up your mind.
