I sometimes wonder what the end state of social progressivism is. Is it something unimaginable, or is it just accepting everyone should be able to live their life how they like if it doesn't affect others?
If I woke up in a utopia, would I be brought to tears by the beauty of it, or would I be the bigoted asshole?
you'd have a hard time adapting, i guess, but after that you'd probably like it.
I think about this from time to time. I think at some point, even if you’re born into it, you run up against some kind of hedonism wall where your human condition doesn’t know what to do with all your choices and lack of a need to do anything to survive. I’m interested in literature that tries to tackle this.
I very much see your point! I think something similar, indeed.
Humans (in general) get energized by "meaning" and "purposes" in life, and if there are none, people get depression. That is possibly a variable that will become significant enough to actually cause a population decline.
I think if you can enjoy life in the absence of pressures or necessities, the future might be wonderful for you.
