Utopia? I hardly KNOW 'eh!

Okay so my answer to this question depends on how realistic I'm allowed to be. On one end of the spectrum I could just say "everyone is happy and healthy all the time and there's no conflict because I say so." and on the other end I would say "I don't have a deep enough grasp of infrastructure/socioeconomics to describe a society that would for-certain be better."
Assuming I'm constrained to modern day tech, but at the same time I don't have to take every single detail into consideration, here's what my Utopia would be: The Great Commune of Shlorpth (named because I like the sound "shlorpth" makes.) There would be UBI (universal basic income) for everyone at/over 18, tax-subsidized necessities (food, water, shelter, education, healthcare.) A reliance on nuclear energy over fossil fuels. Corporations would have elected managerial positions (discouraging the exploitation of workers, because then the person probably wouldn't be re-elected.) Strict laws against corporate lobbying. Checks and balances to ensure that the country doesn't become a dictatorship/oligarchy like the USSR. And a prison system focused on rehabilitation rather than punishment (so no death penalty.)
This would solve a lot of modern-day problems, such as homelessness, worker exploitation, corporate greed, abusive prisons, etc.
What I've described isn't exactly a "true" Utopia, because people still face hardships, people will still probably be jealous of others, still squabble, still get struck by lightning on occasion. But hopefully, hardships on a systemic scale would be eradicated.
Multiple sources show how UBI helps people in various ways, most obviously those in poverty.

My two quotes are A: "There was a time when this conversation would have reduced her to tears, but now she swivels in her chair to look out at the lake and thinks about the moving trucks." since it paints a picture of just how desensitized she's gotten to Pablo's emotional abuse, and B: ""I didn't have any choice," she said. "I was going to be his next wife."" because it really shows how deplorable the prophet is if he was going to force a 12 year old to marry him.

1: We learn a lot about Arthur's life. Where he came from, more of his personality, and his journey with acting.
2: The comic of station eleven appears in both timelines. Along with, strangely enough, a dog named Luli.  Station eleven, on top of being a personal project, seems to offer some escapism to Miranda as she's writing it. I think the parallels to station 11 and the world our characters find themselves in are that most of humanity is gone (enslaved in the comic and dead in the world of the book), and the few people that remain are stuck in a world they can't control (high oceans and an eternal night vs no infrastructure).
3: They find a stowaway from cult-town, Dieter and Sayid disappear, then Sidney. Kirsten and August get separated from the traveling symphony.

The Real Killer Whale Was the Friends We Made Along the Way.

     1: Morality is a mostly human-made invention to categorize actions and behaviors of other humans as either desirable (good) or undesirable (bad). Morality is not a binary, obviously there's a lot of grey area, in fact, most of it is grey-area, but my larger point is that ascribing it to stuff that isn't human gets messy. Is a lion "bad" for eating an elk? Is water "good" for hydrating us? Is lightning "a douche" for turning my hotdog into ash? The answer to all of these is, probably, no.      This was a longwinded way of saying that I don't think Tilikum was the villain in this situation. Were they the victim? Broadly speaking, yes. SeaWorld, famously, is a factory for marine-mammal misery, and if the article is anything to go by, Sealand was basically the equivalent of orca hell, “If you pen killer whales in a small steel tank, you are imposing an extreme level of sensory deprivation on them,” .     The villain of this story, in my op...

Did I find THE best sources for my topic? Realistically, no.

     Here are the two sources I selected for this discussion:     1:  https://www.space.com/15830-light-speed.html     2:  https://betterexplained.com/articles/understanding-the-monty-hall-problem/      Now, let's go through the CARS for each of them.     The speed of light one doesn't fail the credibility check, but it doesn't exactly pass it, either. The author is not anonymous, and has a background in science, but it's ecology, not physics. The Monty Hall one, I think, fails the credibility check, as I could not find an author.     Both are fairly accurate, the Monty Hall one even having a minigame where you yourself play through the scenario. The light-speed one was posted only one year ago, though the Monty Hall one was posted six years ago (though, I don't think fundamental aspects of statistics tend to change over time).      Both are also reliable, being internally consistent, and spea...

Haha wow pandemics seem pretty scary, good thing one of THOSE has never happened.......

     I wouldn't exactly call dystopia a "trending" genre, they've been around for quite awhile. I've read most of hunger games, as well as one and a half books from the maze runner series. Brain scientists seem to attribute the popularity to the developing brain, specifically the rise of emotional complexity/exploration.     Looks to be about some sort of flu that wipes out practically everyone.     My best guess is that the "The bright side of the planet moves towards darkness" line connects to how dystopias are often set in the future? I have no idea what "There is too much world" could mean, it sounds like the person wants  the world to end, but that doesn't really fit with dystopia since that word has a negative connotation. If they want the world to end, and then the world ends, it would be a utopia (for them, at least.)     As I write this, I'm on page 6. My main thought right now is how bad plastic snow would be for your long-ter...
