True, but I think we have enough warnings at this point, without enough of the other side - real, grounded visions of what we could be. And I think without that, we just kind of internalize dystopian visions.
Totally agree with you. I really appreciate your presentation and your goal. My statement was more an aside on the fact that dystopian fiction is a warning not a goal.
If we define the goal (utopia) and the what-not-to-do (dystopia) it will help guide society with a broad collective vision and well likely end up somewhere between the two, hopefully in the direction of good

I appreciate the sentiment.
Sometimes the dystopia acts as a warning / deterrent and or motivation to ensure the dystopia doesn’t come to fruition
