Reply to comment by MyNameIsNonYaBizniz in Utopia”: meaning ‘no place’; from Greek: οὐ (not’) and τόπος (‘place’) by Sphaerocypraea
That is simply not true though. Life thrives in certain areas more then others. This would make it possible to have a utopia. Has nothing to do with perception.

You do understand the definition of Utopia, right?

Lol, really? You wanna redefine Utopia because its official definition is too "pedantic" for you?

Obviously a perfect world is impossible, everyone that talks of Utopia knows that, but a greater world isn’t, which is that dudes point. Perfect is the enemy of the good. Crime will never go out completely in a world with billions, but it can be reduced to a rarity

Yeah and it can still be possible. The universe is ever expanding and massive.

But the idea of a perfect society is what is impossible in an objective sense since the criteria for perfection varies from person to person.

You are looking at perspective. Everyone has different idea. I am talking facts. It is possible to have an area that is perfect for making life thrive. Abundance of water, food, perfect climate. This would be considered a utopia. What are you all not understanding about this?

A perfect society is not solely achieved by an abundance of resources.
