I am on the shitter instead of the shower. So, sorry if I babble crap. But imagine something like GitHub but for the purpose of restructuring society.

    I think it would not work, people covertly sabotage any drift toward a utopia because they do not want it, it is numbingly dull. Beyond wealth or ease of life or sexual freedom what people really want at a deep and profound level is to have something to complain about. The whole of Reddit is just a mechanism for that, as is all social media, as is the internet, the purpose of language and life. People want to gaze over at one section of society and say look at those fucking idiots I am so much better than them. Then they want to tell people how much better they are and have other people agree, and that sort of thing is banned in utopia.

      Easy fix: A very violent sport, to ease the peoples hunger for discord. On a volontary basis of course. Preferably something with roller skates and swords.

      Also introduce Kevin into the system. People can complain about him. A common enemy brings people together and Kevin is a really big asshohle.

      Now everybody’s happy. Except for Kevin of course. But that’s the price you have to pay for utopia.

        Love the brainstorm energy and solution oriented mindset. Few suggestions:

        Lets make the game mandatory and nonviolent, except the loser becomes the new kevin and the winner gets blown up with giant lasers.

        The kevin system will push people not to be the last one and the laser will discourage people from being at the top.

        It would create much more homogenous, and equal society with no class wars because everyone would want to be the part of the “middle class”
