#utopia
Libertarian paradise or libertarian utopia is sometimes used as a form of loaded language when it is used to refer to a political entity that libertarians themselves have not embraced. At most other times, it is used accurately to refer sarcastically to libertarian experiments in reality that have inevitably failed when political theory and fiction meet cold, hard real world.

«If resistance to action on climate change comes from fears of losing one’s standard of living, solarpunk demonstrates that these changes are worth it, from the perspectives of justice and well-being. Solarpunk’s commitments to justice, to love, and to beauty are empowering.»

Venting a little frustration at how divided we are today, just when we need each other most. We wouldn't behave this way if an asteroid was coming. Somehow I feel like we'd bury a few hatchets until we took care of the situation.

When I say I like I don't mean I say I believe. While is true that if I like, there is a part of believing in me. I call this "event" as "melody synchronism" that is part of each, who may "fall in love" within any subject. All subjects are at the first moment, pure subjective, which means that even to manipulate reality, with need a lot of theory, else we are only able to change reality, in the experimental way or using the final notes that theory "or maybe is pure philosophy", already define as possibility. That is how anyone in this world may archive any gold.
-
Abstraction: #dreams #illusions #possiblities #utopia is the source of "creation" of all theories [1]
-
Logic: #tools #reality #knowledge (knowledge here, is everything we need to be able to use "knowledge" in reality)... We may think that all "tools" are already applications that we use to do something, like a hammer or so, but like I said, we use those tools to do something else, above the self(hammer), even if is to build new versions of the same object... we may need some kind of hammer to build a hammer.. [1]
-
Application: The gold was archived. Is true and we cannot deny that all versions could be better, but the point is to remember that we could only archive the gold, by processing the information of what we "know" (yes, in quotes, because we can have the sense of knowledge when we learn the results, while we don't know the process to archive "that gold"), to build what ever it was in our imagination at the first moment of the "creation".

Thank You all for being able to #dream, because that is the only way we are able to #love.
-
Naturally this is the #tricky point of "dreaming reality", because since the concept is "true" even if is a simplistic definition, it depends not only in the intention, but as well, it depends on the accessibility (most tools that were made to destroy anything at all, was not made by those who feel that desire, but by others who didn't wish that to happen)

#Utopia is probably my favorite soundtrack to a show I've never actually seen haha. I discovered it when the GM was playing it as background music during RPG night and been listening to it ever since.
It's beautifully strange and hypnotizing. I could probably post 20 tracks or so, it has been really difficult picking just a single one :cat_sip: .
Trying to watch #Utopia but the levels of violence are just off the chart. Along with normalizing torture.
I'm used to seeing a chase scene or gun fight thrown in to a bad story to keep the audiences interest. But this is a really good story, that doesn't need that trick.
So I'm disappointed with it. And I need to keep fast forwarding through those scenes.

I finally read #Trekonomics by Manu Saadia. 4/5 stars IMO. It's readable even if you are not a #StarTrek geek. I enjoyed the anecdotes from history, #jewish culture, and the author's life. I would have wished for some more learnings about #economics. If you already know about the potential benefits of automation, the advantages of open access to knowledge and other freely available goods, and the arguments for universal basic income (UBI) there is not a lot more to learn. But still entertaining.
Some quotes:
"So the Federation does the only thing it can in the present: it hopes that by modeling good, science-based behavior, it will somehow sway the more selfish governments or shame them into doing the right thing." (on preserving the galactic commons)
"Star Trek's and science fiction's role in the world is certainly to entertain and amaze and inspire, but it might also very well be to corrupt and change us, the real-life Ferengis."
"Technological progress and economic growth cannot bring us to #utopia on their own. Inventions do not arise in a vacuum. They are artifacts of society, they respond to people's needs and, sometimes, demands. We cannot ask machines to distribute economic resources equally on our behalf."
"The mutualization of most goods and services is Star Trek's solution to the contradiction of workless overabundance."
From an #anarchist perspective, I'm a bit disappointed Star Trek just replaces the competition for material wealth with the competition for reputation, which results in power over others, and the author of #Trekonomics does not seem to be very critical of this. So while the book is promoting UBI, it is sadly also open to neoliberal meritocracy.
"Lobsters" #SciFi #ShortStory by Charles stross is an accelerated introduction to the brilliant #agalmic (#OpenSource #PostScarcity) world of the #SuperCooperator protagonist Manfred Macx. Manfred creates a force field of good will to protect him and his friends from sentient machines, augmented humans, computational moons, and corporations that enslave everything with a brain.

- a Utopia dry cleaners
- a Utopia Festival (fancy locally-sourced food)
- an Islamic school called Utopia Boston (located 30 miles outside of Boston)
There is also:
- an expensive european handbag called Utopia Boston
- a line of shot glasses call Utopia Boston
- a beer from Boston's Sam Adams brewery called Utopia
- a band called Utopia has a live CD called Boston
I don't believe every #utopia eventually and necessarily becomes a #dystopia (though there are a lots of people who do), but I do believe every dystopia began as a utopia or #utopian ideal. And, we often have many little dystopias—small communities, churches, social media sites, workplaces, and even large economies, national governments, etc.—that we constantly mitigate, manage, and insulate ourselves from.
I'm thinking about this as I'm studying some #technology for future employment.

An unwavering rule:
When billionaires build utopia, it will always — always, always — be dystopia.
Utopia is utopia only when it's built for all.
Billionaires always — always, always — build only for themselves and their cronies. See: Elon Musk.
Someone who believes in a better future appears more and more as a relict of the past. The average modern person of today is satisfied if the #future will be different. This is why #populism and #fascism has such a success. Society will be different, and nobody even asks for something better.
This is our problem. It needs courage or even madness to demand it better.
And yes, it's not uncommon for someone to #wait many months even for #treatments that are obviously #urgent. People #die of cancers and other conditions that may have been treatable if they had seen a specialist sooner, and got into treatment sooner.
Even when life's not at stake, the delays can impact lives. You need a new knee or shoulder so you can work and live again? In many places, you'll wait at least a year, and probably two.

I cannot express how much I wish Democrats were actually communists. Imagine if we had 8 years of communist policymaking under Clinton, then another 8 under Obama. Then 4 under Biden. Instead of the neoliberal capitalist pro-corporate, pro-bank, pro-fossil fuel, pro-policing hellscape all three are/were determined to implement. That would be amazing.
(Please note: above all, fuck all Republicans, and definitely vote for Democrats over the GOP. At least the Dems can be bullied into doing the right thing on occasion).
Nobody's figured out #utopia yet, but some #existential narratives have already proven better than others at scaling a #society

@mekkaokereke Hershey, Pennsylvania .... the absolute number of people will increase in the region at the cost of the working poor who don't know any better but to get a "good" job short-term ... hard to change #Karma ...it'll be billed as #utopia until it is obvious that it is exactly opposite
In my #solarpunk #utopia, every building will be energy self-sufficient and it’s the surplus that will feed factories. This way the people control big capital and not the other way around.
Another company town is being built near a major city, echoing historical patterns of agrarian communities. If realized, this development will strengthen the #BayArea economy rather than harm it. While it won't be a #utopia, it will benefit the city, even if there is disagreement between both sides.

Las élites del Silicon Valley se quieren hacer una ciudad utópica llamada "California Forever" (podría ser el título de un Black Mirror). Y los renders parecen un mix de pueblos de Europa, con sus calles para personas, terrazas, campos con setos y cipreses, incluso se ve algo como una ermita en un cerro. Para el Silicon Valley, Utopía es un pueblo de Europa.
Y como siempre, creen que es algo que se puede comprar con dinero.

"I need optimism like a drowning person needs driftwood – it might not fix all my problems, but it keeps me from going under. Yet singular optimism feels hollow ... I want – need – hope for a better world, but for many of us the current world contains plenty of #dystopia and waving it away does us no good. Speculation needs darkness to be relatable."

@arstechnica "... about solidarity, peace, and love for the motherland" ... your author has "nice" way to spell #ideology and #propaganda.😉
Maybe I didn't read closely enough, but I find it a bit strange to deny the West #utopia and positives in #SciFi. First, there is also European scifi, not only US. If Soviet why not the famous system critics Strugatsky? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkady_and_Boris_Strugatsky And there was once #Solarpunk, wasn't it? 😎
The style of these drawings remind very much of the Cold War pulp.
The more I read through critical texts on #utopia and #SciFi from the 80s-90s, the more it just seems like everyone talked about the same 4-6 works. Is the corpus really that startlingly limited? Can we not find anything else? Also note: primarily these texts are novels rather than short stories (though Tiptree is often named there)
#AmWriting my 1st work of fiction as a grown up. I am writing a #SciFi #Solarpunk #Utopia for 2 main reasons: (1) I'm a 30+ years visual artist already committed to a life of creating & sharing without regard to financial rewards. (2) I dislike my society. I'm a committed voter, committed to democracy, but I have little hope that Good (naive, authentic, uncoordinated & individual) can prevail against Evil (financially incentivized, organized, relentless). Writing offers a constructive outlet.

My article on breaking down the binary between #utopia and #dystopia has been published in Vector!
"Ambitopias form a careful balancing act, forming a cohesive and believable society that cannot be categorised as either good or bad, yet one which is still dramatically speculative.
In short, an ambitopia presents a world both distinctly better and worse than our own."

Keijo Lakkala asks in his dissertation
"what functions of utopia have become emphasized in the history of utopian thought?”
#Utopia is within the present since it exists in the here-and-now. It is against since it orients itself according to a logic of practice that challenges and relativizes the practices of the existing society. It is outside of the present since it prefigures new and better forms of being in its very existence.
#Voima-lehden kesäteatteriarviosta (Slutopia !!) sunnuntaipohdittavaa:
Perinteisten utopioiden tulevaisuuteen sijoittuvien jättirakennelmien sijaan nykyutopioissa tunnustetaan paikallisuuden tarve.
Utopian voi löytää arkisista ja jokapäiväisistä käytänteistä, joiden avulla haastetaan totuttu ja tavoitellaan jotain parempaa, uudenlaista tapaa olla.

“A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing. And when Humanity lands there, it looks out, and, seeing a better country, sets sail. Progress is the realisation of Utopias.”

Do yourself a kindness and read or listen to @annaleen The Terraformers (on audiobook too!). It's beautiful!
One of the best books I've read in a long time. A utopian eco dream within a dystopian capitalist future. So many wild and wonderful images and ideas and one of my favorite and most robust post human world buildings I can remember. Its got activism, communal living, and post human romance all in one. I loved every minute of it and cannot recommend it highly enough! The audiobook is even better - the reader's character voices, produced bits of noise and sound, and so on all brought the world to life.

"Ecotopías: Utopías atravesadas por la cuestión ecológica y social donde se describen escenarios de sociedades sostenibles poscapitalistas y vidas deseables.
El mundo del mañana depende de las acciones que tomemos hoy y las acciones que llevemos a cabo hoy dependerán del mundo que queramos para mañana. Por lo tanto, debemos hacernos la pregunta ¿Qué mundo deseamos? sin olvidar su contraparte ¿Qué mundo es posible?.
Con este certamen de relatos ecotópicos pretendemos contribuir a esta cuestión.
Queremos eliminar esa frase hecha de «es más fácil imaginar el fin del mundo que el fin del capitalismo» de nuestros imaginarios y contribuir desde el mundo de la cultura y el relato a promover esos otros escenarios de vida posibles, deseables y necesarios para una vida humana en libertad e igualdad."

I didn't realise that most people considered the prospect of being ruled by intelligent machines as a bad thing. Why is that? They'd at least be logical about it all.

Nope, I for one welcome our #Robot #Overlords - They can't do a worse job than the #GOP, the #British #Conservatives, the #Canadian #Liberals or anyone else in power, plus any of their opposition.
Wrzutka! Tekst, który bardzo mi się spodobał i chcę go spopularyzować ^_^

Fragment:
Opowiadamy dzieciom wiele zwyczajowych i okrutnych kłamstw, ale chyba najbardziej znaczące jest to: życzenie wypowiedziane na głos się nie spełni. Masz urodziny? Właśnie zobaczył_ś spadającą gwiazdę? Nie możesz wyrazić swoich pragnień, bo jeśli to zrobisz, zgasną jak świeczki na torcie. Te mądrości zostały pewnie wymyślone przez rodziców, którzy chcieli uniknąć traumy związanej z niemożnością spełnienia dziecięcych pragnień. To kłamstwo niesiemy ze sobą w dorosłość, gdzie powtarzają je nam rządzący. Nie mów, jakiego świata sobie życzysz, bo w najlepszym wypadku spotka cię rozczarowanie, a w najgorszym aresztowanie.
[...]
Dziś pilniej niż kiedykolwiek musimy tworzyć utopijne idee, właśnie dlatego, że koncepcja lepszego świata nigdy nie wydawała się bardziej odległa. Właśnie teraz władcy świata decydują, ile miast zatonie, zanim zrobimy coś, żeby zredukować emisję dwutlenku węgla. Spotykają się w Paryżu, który niedawno stał się scenerią kolejnego sezonu naszego najmniej ulubionego serialu Wojna na Bliskim Wschodzie. Świat wydaje się zmierzać w stronę kolejnego kryzysu ekonomicznego; roboty są gotowe do zautomatyzowania tych nielicznych prac, które nie znajdą się pod wodą. Jakbyśmy żyli w dystopijnej trylogii napisanej przez sadystycznego autora powieści Young Adult; mam ogromną nadzieję, że dzielni młodzi bohaterowie przybędą na ratunek szybko, nawet jeśli ma się to wiązać z niezręcznym trójkątem miłosnym.
Inspirującej lektury!
