YOUR UTOPIA!

What is your utopia? I always found this to be incredibly intriguing after having read brave new world. by this I dont mean your fantasy world.. but a world that everyone would be happy (or the closest to this) In mine, everyone would have the freedom to do whatever they wanted.. as long as it did not take away from the freedoms of others.. (still have a lot to add :P)

Well, without any thought to how this would ever be set up or maintained, here goes.
No governments No laws No schools No money Kids are raised and educated by all (qualified) members of the community Consumerism and waste would be strongly discouraged culturally Everyone is vegetarian and communities are centered around large facilities that contain both farms (maintained by everyone) and massive libraries Robots do jobs unfit for humans; only people who want to work do.

My utopia is a world with a MUCH SMALLER population of people who ALL share my values and morals. I would be the king of such a place and no one would be able to challenge my word. Things would be very different and i would have a free and unlimited supply of 100% heroin.

Anarchy, in a good sense meaning no governments.
Population living within carrying capacity such that work is not mandatory.
Voluntary education that is completely reorganized.
Small interconnected towns in the midst of large amounts of nature. Organized water supplies, auto cleaned rivers that are geographically mapped to supply for each town.
Free love(elimination of STDs coupled with hormone and birth control). Legal, free drugs(the way it should be).
New different kinds of drugs that do things such as: induce lucid dream states, eliminate drug tolerance such that trips can occur day after day with no mental stress or repercussions.
If I want go crazy with it maybe robot slaves and mind connected super internet.

Freedom to do whatever doesn't impose upon others
Local, sustainable economies
Localized governments responsive to needs of the people

Cities designed around community, rather than commerce
Universal, affordable healthcare (not just sick-care, but wellness-care)
Public education that teaches kids how to think, not just what to think
Clean, distributed, renewable energy

A fairytale reality, where evil is not feared but something to be immunised against with personal power, no time, no civilization, no sitting around being bored, an eternal mystery to be dug deeper into for eternity, yourself forever changing, never to have a memory of what was before as what is here now is too sublime to leave alone for a moment.

I would have complete control of all resources, but everyone would be legitimate friends with me and agree with all of my decisions.

Misanthropy is a hard habit to kick. So is being stubborn. The two go hand in hand.

I'm not truly introverted but I am a misanthrope due to experience. Go figure.

It seems many people with views similar to ours are misanthropes. It seems strange that I am actually quite extroverted and naturally empathetic, I have just been able to suppress my empathy towards humans a lot through reason, however no matter how hard I try I can not get rid of my unnatural level of empathy felt towards animals of other species.

100 acres in the Maine mountains and a cabin built by my own hands. I would be self sufficient and promote life around me. I would be governed only by the laws of nature and the reason nature provides.

Tis true. We are not born misanthropes but are made through experience and in my case at least an overriding sense of compassion for the suffering of mankind and having the realization that for every somewhat happy camper there are scores that are not. Without a human race much suffering (not talking about pain here but neurotic suffering) if not all would be avoided.
I'm the guy wearing the white hat.
