What is your definition of Freedom - Is a Utopia possible

1950s? set your standards higher man!! like something BCE. Something much more similar to our evolutionary influences, please. I will settle for nothing less, and in my lifetime thankyouverymuch.

Indeed I should set my standards higher, it seems a shame that to more forward we go in time, the further away we get from utopia

Sort of assumes the 1950s was the essence of everything good in the world.

My definition of freedom is death. I know that is morbid and cynical but, there are a lot of metaphysical and scientific theories behind my beliefs :D.

I love Sir Francis Bacon and really loved his New Atlantis, which was his idea of a utopia.
