What would you do in a Utopian Society?

Let me try to put into words what a true Utopia would be like.

It's pretty much a society where everything is already provided for everyone. The layout is just what is needed. Machines do all the work to sustain it. There are no jobs any person has to do to live out there lives.

So obviously people will look at the city scape and want to make it look better, that is something they are free to do themselves. They would need to educate themselves on architexture and design first, but that won't cost anything as education is provided for. The knowledge is there for you to pick up. There's all these people free to do anything productive. What would you do.

I can't honestly think right now, I want some creative input. Please don't say you'll start causing mayhem or whatever, because obviously you'd just be a troll in Utopia who'd be banned, ergo locked up. :/

For instance, someone as crazy and diabolically genius as Ray Kurzweil or maybe even Stephen Hawking would by using nanotech to give ordinary people super powers, like flight, super hearing, super vision, intangibility, super good looks, a higher IQ etc. Giving people without legs legs, insta-curing alcoholism, heroin addicts, bi-polar disorder, paralyzed limbs, blindess, etc.

Or somebody might design a giant beach house out on a man-made island with a 10 mile tall paradise mountain peak on it to have parties, sub-sonic rollercoaster rides, etc. Someone might create a transformer, or design a martian city that makes it's own oxygen to terraform mars. Or you might design an underground fortress with all kinds of awesome shit in it. Or a bunch of gadgets. Idk. You tell me.

Well since people dont need jobs they dont need money and everything is provided for us.... Crime would go down theoreticlly since no one would be homeless. It would leave time for the Primary Arts like Science, Math, Ect.. but then again in a utopia society that all would be done already wouldnt it? What would there be left to actually do?

Would need Engineers to maintain the machines though.

I'd be king of the utopia.

I'd imagine it would mostly be leisure activities. Everyday would be made up of doing whatever's clever. Biking, sailing, flying, golf, frisbee, bowling, get together, and on and on.

Actually, though things don't stay that way, the setting for Illium and Olympos is pretty much such a society.

An establishment is not conscious, it is not creative, or questioning. Everyone living inside would be creative, questioning, thinking. Primary arts aren't going to improve without us to expand our own knowledge. We wouldn't need anything to maintain the machines, they would totally self-sufficient. We would need to engineer new things, we are the thinking part of the AI, integrated into it. This is past any revolution, in fact there isn't going to be a revolution at the rate we're going, just fanatics worried that techonology and freedom from servitude will offend Odin, Ra, Zues, Allah and Jesus Christ.

No, it'd be like the humans in WALL-E, you'd all be fat disgusting sloths not worth your weight in navel lint.

You lazy fat bastards really make me sick, just thinking about you.

We will just cure our obesity, and instead make ourselves look like chisseled 18 year-old studs, those two young will accelerate the aging procces, those too old will reverse it, and those at just the right age will halt it permanently.

How would a machine repair itself if it breaks down? No matter the machine it will eventually break down if it is not cared for. Unless you have machines taking care of the machines.... Then it will be all Judgement Day!

No, you'd be an especially fat slob whose mass was made up of 97.3% pure body fat.

I'd be fit, as I'm the King of Utopia.

The revolution will be Nay Sayers like Robderp Vs Way Seers like me. Those who can find the way, will find a way, those who say it can't be done with this this and this bad shit happening like Robderp is saying, won't make it very far before failing in disbelief.

Nay sayer.

Molecular assembly can generate self-repairing machines without the need for them to go I, Robot for no reason. We are just talking a bunch of seperate parts that have their own function, when all up and running energy provided from solar energy will make them totally self-sufficient. These parts have functions, but nothing is thinking, the thinking was done in the design phase.

When did I say it can't be done? I said I'd be king and you'd be a lazy fatass who's too lazy to walk to the food dispenser cos a machine can do it for you.

Get out.

I'm the king of the utopia as I called it first, so you GTFO of my utopia and GTFO of my thread.

I'm trying to have a serious discussion here, and all you can do is go derpspastic. You cannot post outside of the Off-topic Forum anymore Robderp...it's forbidden.

Derp your way out.

You're talking about people getting superpowers like flight and intangibility, yeah, "serious discussion" indeed.

GTFO of my thread. You're just butthurt I called king before you thought of it.

I would create a virus that would shut down all machines destroying the utopia.

They can lock me up, but I have destroyed everything they cared for and I will have sent them all into damnation.

As King of Utopia, I approve of that plan. Get on it.
