      1950s? set your standards higher man!! like something BCE. Something much more similar to our evolutionary influences, please. I will settle for nothing less, and in my lifetime thankyouverymuch.

      Indeed I should set my standards higher, it seems a shame that to more forward we go in time, the further away we get from utopia

      However one day I think it will be possible, and may well exist in large pockets such as entire towns, in none of our lifetimes though. Utopias may well have existed in the past, but since the 1960's everything has been going downhill, it will be at least 2150 before we return to our 1950's standards of society, if ever.
      Sort of assumes the 1950s was the essence of everything good in the world.

      My definition of freedom is death. I know that is morbid and cynical but, there are a lot of metaphysical and scientific theories behind my beliefs .

      I love Sir Francis Bacon and really loved his New Atlantis, which was his idea of a utopia.
