What is Your Ideal Utopia- Part 2

* In my ideal Utopia, the human population on earth won't be more than a few million. Billions of people is too much for this poor planet, we are destroying the environment and the ecosystem totally and we are growing fast. God knows what are we going to do to the planet when our numbers are even more than today.

What is important in a population is the quality of it not the quantity. A few million Israelis have managed to beat 100 million Arabs for 50 years. Less than 100,000 Athenians established the whole foundation of arts and science of the western civilization.

* In my ideal Utopia all the manual jobs are done by robots. Human beings are free for the first time in history to focus on creative pursuits. If the economy of a robotised society is structured correctly, there won't be any poverty, and most things will be available to all free of charge.

*In my ideal Utopia education is totally free for all levels of education up to Ph.D. If we believe that the brain of the people in a society is the most valuable property of that society, we have to be ready to invest as much as we can on these brains, and that is impossible without free universal education up to Ph.D. level for everybody.

* In my ideal Utopia, the celebrities are scientists, writers, artists, philosophers, not Paris Hiltons and pop and rock and hip hop singers and Hollywood stars. The media will make them famous and naturally the public will follow where the media goes. In my Utopia, the teenagers want to be like a famous scientist or writer, not a gangster rap singer.

* In my ideal Utopia, people work out of a love of co-operation and helping each other. Nobody works for greed. People get the highest pleasure out of seeing their fruits of labour helping others and the society, not out of loading gold coins and having larger estates and luxury cars.

* In my ideal Utopia, everybody receives a minimum wage enough to sustain a decent way of life. Having a decent salary, even if people don't work, is a human right. Everybody will have at least a one bedroom house, and has access to complete free health care. When people have enough to live by, they won't fight for a morsel of food and lots of back stabbings and revenge and hatred and envy will disappear.
