What is your definition of Freedom - Is a Utopia possible

[TheEvolutionist]

The first question is pretty straight-forward; what do you believe freedom does or should mean? And just for fun do you believe you are Free by your definition; for more sh**s & giggles, if not how does one achieve your definition of Free or Freedom in our present society. The second question is a little more complicated. Please don't use that lame cop-out about how all books about a utopias say it is impossible or that a Utopia is communist or fascist or whatever. First question: Do you even think a Utopia is possible? Explain Second: What would the most basic Utopia look like, that is what do you think most people on the planet would agree to. Third: How does one achieve this Utopia with the smoothest transition possible. If any are really interested in this topic I would highly recommend that they do some looking into what is called the Venus Project, the first resource based economy, as opposed to a monetary based economy. This is an economy that looks at a project, for example, and doesn't say do we have enough money for this but do we have enough resources for this. It is a world that would replace 90% of jobs with machines, making money unnecessary & "work" irrelevant. Instead of having people to work we have machines to make everything faster & more efficient. That means every time you want something you can just have it and then a machine will make another. It is a world were humans are truly free to do whatever they want, read, write, created, explore, relax, have genuine fun, live anywhere you would like. The Venus project isn't the best model for a Utopia but it sure is better than the one we have, that is the monetary economy. Just to be clear this is not my idea of a Utopia, if you want just ask and I will post mine.
