What are three qualities or criteria for a Utopia?
Short and concise or long winded and lengthy, discuss. If you can, please list at least three criteria for what Utopia would consist of for you, for us, on this planet.

A Definition -
[link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

A utopia (/juːˈtoʊpiə/ yoo-toh-pee-ə) is an imagined community or society that possesses highly desirable or nearly perfect qualities. Utopian ideals often place emphasis on egalitarian principles of equality in economics, government and justice, though by no means exclusively, with the method and structure of proposed implementation varying based on ideology. According to Lyman Tower Sargent "[t]here are socialist, capitalist, monarchical, democratic, anarchist, ecological, feminist, patriarchal, egalitarian, hierarchical, racist, left-wing, right-wing, reformist, free love, nuclear family, extended family, gay, lesbian, and many more utopias".[1]







Ultimately, in my personal utopia, I am hoping that this inspires an art project of sorts...please do not be afraid to be you, as unique as you are, your contributions are important.

Thank you!

OK, could you explain that one? Seems like a model of something technical at first glance.

Haiti has beautiful White Sandy beaches making it a great candidate.

Butt what really makes it a Utopia are the beaches with little piles of doo doo scattered around, baking turds and the random nappy-headed "Youth" squatting over a frantically dug hole.

BONUS: The rape, cannibalism and voodoo are natural to the region.

You have a brain, create your utopia there first. It is a world afterall, your world. Only their's if you let them have it...

Intrinsically, put what you want into your mind, can you come up with a few? I bet you have several...

 Quoting: ~Lumminessa~


My thoughts are that I did not finish my master's degree to do just that, define sustainability. Very nerdy degree, sociological theory, driven by passion for words, for defining, for naming. When a new word is being thrown around in many different fields and it is not defined, well, nerds like me go, oh, we best define that before it get co-opted and has no meaning at all. That was years ago, however. My thoughts now are that I had purchased ten acres years before that with thoughts of straw bale building and rainwater harvesting in the desert. Had been thinking of the art you shared so I searched your user name to find this thread. Lo and behold. It reminded me of the Ocotillos. Your thread. I could see the Ocotillos in bloom.

To answer OP directly, and concisely, based upon the parameters and directness of the question, I was going to say vision, envisioning, and planning.

1. Social Harmony where people are all happy and content. People all get along.
2. Governing Harmony the government works harmoniously with the people and contributes to overall happiness. The function of the government and the laws work in harmony and seamlessly without any problems. Social services, military, education...every facet works without problems.
3. Material/resource Harmony where all the needs of the people are met and they are happy.
4. There are actually a lot more.
