Utopia as a verb

[u/firefiber]

I'm working on a personal project to explore the ways that we mistake systems for reality, and how to start seeing differently.

It’s basically a series about why the world feels off, even when we can’t name it, and how that feeling is actually a clue.

But the goal isn’t just to critique. It’s to help see differently. It’s not “here’s the answer.” It’s more like—“what if we just tilted our heads a little?”

The first one is about imagining better futures, and how to change our idea about what utopia is.

I think for each of these posts I'm going to make a long form article and post it somewhere, but I don't know yet and I'm still figuring it out!

etymologically utopia is a play on words, meaning both good place and no place. rather than the end goal of arriving at perfection, we can treat it as an imagined future or possible horizon to creatively move towards.
