This is going to be an interesting one to write!
I want to see how you're going to get out of this one. How can we live in a utopia if utopia is imaginary and impossible?
reply
I will respond by asking - why do you think anything is impossible?
reply
I don't believe anything is impossible. What I'm saying is that by definition, a utopia is an imaginary and impossible thing. That's what the dictionary says

The reason that @Undisciplined wrote "narrative violation" is because they guessed I was going to present a point that goes against the masses.
The dictionary was written by the masses as language grew. The masses believe that something is imaginary if it does not exist.
However, something only doesn't exist if you can't see it, hear it etc.
Take the tree that falls in the woods when no one is there to hear it fall - does it make a noise? What may seem imaginary to some, is very real to others.
I hope that makes sense - I am in the middle of a meeting whilst typing!

I think what she's trying to say is that the current reality was a utopia in medieval times. I think that makes sense.

narrative violation?

It's something @kr used to say in jest when someone presented a point that ran counter to prevailing views.
