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.

They're Called Cell Phones Because The Phone is of Out Hot Cell Eat The Phone

     (The title is a reference, if you don't understand, don't worry about it.)      These two articles are a bit more linked than normal, as one is a direct response to the other. Though aside from the fact that they both talk about phones and are written in English, there aren't many comparisons I can make, they differ from each other quite severely.     First, and most obviously, their stances on cellphones are direct opposites. The one titled "Have Smartphones Destroyed A Generation?" Is, shockingly (not really,) thinks that the impact smartphones have on the youths is negative overall, whereas the response, "No, Smartphones are Not Destroying a Generation" thinks that this is not the case (another shocking revelation, I know)     There are also some more minor differences in format, for example, the response is much shorter than the paper it's responding to, which I appreciate greatly because my attention span is garbage. The source...

The tale of a self-destructive reality

Long long ago, before the dawn of time and space, a being of unfathomable scale and power took its last breath, its limp body sinking through the surrounding void, veins bleeding time and body rotting into universes, but some universes were made of flesh that wasn't so decayed, that was fresh enough that it still had some of that infinite power that every primordial scavenger sought to harness, and harness they did, creating vast inter-universal empires headed by warlords wielding god-like power, who hoarded their territories like raccoons, if raccoons were so inclined to hold territory, but some raccoons are more ambitious than others, and warlords were no different, as one of them, Ygadle, had a scheme, by using their near-infinite power, they could repurpose one of their universes into a device known as the Eternity Engine, a hyperspherical construct, quadrillions of light years in diameter, with the capability of pumping the temporal blood back into the corpse from which all re...

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...
