I sort of had a thought (a late night thought session) about what a utopia might be, and how it might be possible. Don’t get me wrong, I want this little “theory” tested and poked, that’s the point of me posting it.

If one wouldn’t get discriminated for having certain qualities that person wouldn’t need to keep secrets from others. Therefor, freedom of information. And with that, we can share information equally - decentralization of information.

Then there’s monogamy. Without monogamy - which I believe will go away at a certain point - there will be no jealousy, no “people-property”. It fits within the “no intellectual property” mind-set if you think about it. So monogamy will phase out.

Then, perhaps if people can be kept alive forever, children would be unneeded. I’m thinking about places like Africa, India and China where child birth is a problem.

Perhaps at such state, the world can reach an equilibrium, and then “progress” as we know it will peacefully come to a stop.

Children were used as a sort of economical thing, think about farmers and so forth. To them a child is just an investment they’re making. Someone to work in their field and take care of it. So if we could have a labor force that will never die out (or at least - would not die from age) we can reach a the “Zen-state” and stay that way, with the same people.

If medicine would get so good that death would simply not be an option at all, it’ll be the ultimate state of mankind and evolution will stop, though I doubt that we can completely prevent death in the traditional sense. Perhaps just make the chances thinner or so.

And now it’s about time for me to go to sleep, since I’m pretty tired.
