In My Ideal World

[atreestump]

Been trying to respond to this for a few weeks. I guess my ideal world is one of creativity and destruction as a way of forming life, not just reactions, but positive projects.

Well, my ideal world would be inhabited by shapeshifting beings taking shapes of anthropomorphic animals of their liking ( no humans, humans are naturally rotten and deemed to be doomed ) it's kind off like steampunky-victorian British Empire esque state, with classical and art deco stylists dominating the world. The most appreciated form of art are radio plays with radio systems being dominant medium. Inhabitants are not involved in the selfish process of creating social media, and the main form of intercontinental communication are letters and telegrams. The universally used language is reformed Latin ( adjusted for grammar constructions for time travellers and for logical abstract concepts ). The dominant form of transport are trains, metros, steamboats and zeppelins. In this world all diseases are curable and malfunctioning organs can be easily replaced with bio-mechanical replacement. The Government is council consisting of thinkers, scientists and special investigators. The inhabitants of this world are keen to simplistic elegance in clothing. Also as an added bonus orgies are regular occurrences, that are not criminalised, happening everywhere at random and everyone is sexually liberated, that helps to keep peace and happiness. The main values of this world are Truth and Free Will. The previously mentioned council is stylised after Bavarian Illuminati and Freemasons. Only "minus" of that perfect world are Lovecraftian Great Old Ones that like to mess with psychics and dreams of inhabitants of the world ( it makes life extra spicy ).

How would people die? Death is a vital necessity for life.

I guess maybe people wouldn't die and would stop reproducing when necessary.

This is the problem when talking about ideals in a 'pressure point' political way. I don't think this would be the case, I think you would have a never ending production line.

Post-humanism narratives of cyborg progress are only going to be for those who can afford it. Most likely to get to such an ideal world we will have a scenario not unlike the matrix, the island or some other 'the production becomes consumed' modes of action, where the superfluous are harvested for organs and other biological material to get to the kind of technology that can eliminate all illness and offer spare parts - life is defined by death, our aims and happiness are all drives that stem from knowing death is coming.

I agree, but we cling to life because that is all we know. So we give it a good effort to survive for as long as possible and more, and disregard any notion that "for life to flourish we must die", no, not us, never us, and if us, then what is out to kill us must die first.

I think that the Inhabitants of My Ideal Worlds would cherish the absurd and that they would be dying willingly, whenever they fell like it and death would be highly celebrated ( making the grand party before committing suicide and having fun before perishing is a suitable solution ). Also they could die as a result of the accident, being murdered, sentenced for death, losing a bet etc.

Oh that is an interesting twist.

People seem to be easy to convince to go after any symbol of value, even to their own loss of life.

The ideal seems to be getting further and further away, and so many born in the 70s to now have less hope every year of even the most basic things we had come to expect in the course of our lives. I have been deprived of so much "normality" and put in the position of people that were thought of as the most destitute from some error about their mental health or some mistake they are blamed for, like drug addiction, when I have no such issues and there are a vast majority of people, growing in number, who are feeling further and further away fromtheir ideals or an ideal world, this dream of the violent rich is simply enjoying the majority in a hell while waiting for worse.

Things have descended so much from even 10 years ago when it was already bad enough. I'm almost stunned by how dreadful things look in the forward direction, so that I try to avoid thinking about a conveyor belt sending me towards a meat grinder with no salvation in sight, and the only consolation is the complete and utter doom awaiting many besides me.

How can we attain something closer to the ideal, at least for ourselves? Time is ticking, terribly, and my only priority these days is to clean my messy apartment in case I drop dead, hiding the truth if how bad things have gotten, out of embarassment and shame and tye blame I'd receive, though it really is not my fault, it is a completely broken system that is causing everything, down to the injuries, the sicknesses, the mess, the difficulty getting rid of the mess, the mouse infestation in this expensive slum apartment that barely is cared for, just abandoned and lost and surrounded by authentically insane and maddened people too, and this is like a paradise compared to even worse and more dire situations, as bad as this still is, to think there is even worse, and none of these things, this or the more terrible, should ever even be allowed to come into being, but instead we've allowed people to boss us around and announce to us that they intend to bring things to an even more dire place and without resting there, on and on in the descent to utterly despicable tortures we would have thought unimaginable, because no one can turn these people off and turn off a system built to break us.
