I don't think we should be striving for utopia, that can lead us down a dangerous path. The aim should be avoiding creating a dystopia.

I am intrigued as to why you think it could lead us down a dangerous path?

Because everyone's vision of utopia is different. One persons utopia can be another persons hell. Think Soviet Union.

If one mans utopia is another mans dystopia, then we should stop trying to create utopias. Doesn't mean we will get a perfect society, just one that is the least bad and most fair considering the circumstances.

Of course! This is actually something I've been thinking about a lot lately (avoiding dystopias instead of creating utopias), hence why I posted my answer :)
