2. Power/Pollution
• To be sincere, We have energy, efficient
machines and medicine. our lives are
Utopian, we live longer and our burden of
living is lessened.
• The irony is that our planet, the only one
we can live on is dying, and our burden is
only beginning.
3. Safety/Privacy
• CCTV(closed circuit television) is what we
use to protect us, the eye in the sky that looks
out for us.
• Ironically, this has been abused and this form of
technology can be used for insidious purposes,
pretty much the cornerstone of everything BigBrother.
and nobody wants that, right?
4. Enlightenment/Internet
• The Internet is a resivour of information,
we can draw from it at will to spread knowledge and
understanding.
• In order for this to be possible, it has to give every tom,
dick, and harry the power to say anything,
anytime and self edit it, with no form of reviewing
process.
• throws everything we read into
This
doubt because of the sources the information comes
from. meaning that instead of a tool of enlightenment,
Are we grasping the weapon of ignorance?
5. Medicine/Immunity
• we are living longer, that’s a fact, and it is
because of medicinal science.
• because of our longevity now, we can work
longer, and pay more taxes.
• Unfortunately people
because of this the number of
needing organ transplants has doubled, while
the number of healthy organs had
declined, rapidly.
• The longer we live, The less our children have to
live for. Quality of life will slowly decline with
population growth.
6. Wealth/Capitalism
• the system of socioeconomic trading and wealth that is
most prevalent in the west is capitalism.
• Theoretically this allows everyone to make money by buying
wealth cycle around the economy
stuff and letting the
so those who own companies make money, means higher pay for workers
who in turn spend their earnings; a company makes money then pays
workers ect.
• unfortunately in order to keep prices competitive,
companies off-shore their production. this make
the consumer-earners only consumers in certain, high wealth
commodities, such as automotive and childrens toys.
• companies owners become corperate giants because
of the low-cost high-retail value.
7. Abundance/Pestilence
• No ,one in the 1st world should need for
food we have supermarkets and restaurants where you can
buy, at “reasonable prices”, nearly anything
and enjoy the food of other nations in this big ol’
melting pot of corporate venture.
• Fast food has caused a rise in obesity, diabetes
and the inability to know how to cook to
feed ones self and a distinct ignorance of
food; where does it come from? we just head
down to the shop.
8. Society/Conformity
• What are you going to wear today? when are you going to
check my Facebook status? i got the highest kill in
black ops.
• No body should want for friends cause got txtn n
fb so we dn’t evn hf to spll sht rigt an it
so esy to mak frnds des daes yo dn’t evn hf to evn b
socil.
• We’re all connected but were disconnected, from reality or
from each other it doesn’t matter so long as there’s a screen
in front of you.
9. Modesty/Hubris
• For everything we have that may be
Utopian, what we don’t have is modesty.
• we are disgustingly Narcissistic, bordering
on hubris all the time, their is a growing number
among us that just can’t see the wood from their
egos, and it’s infiltrated our minds through
popular culture as the consequence of all
our utopian efforts. “i’m just soooo much better
than everybody else because...........”
10. Equality/Segregation
• This ties back to the first slide
• More than just inter racial. it’s interspecies
segregation as well. we judge and hold ourselves
above all other creatures on this world, we
empathise yes, but in the grander scheme of things it’s
kinda shallow empathy
• Given the choice, how many would put an
animals life before their own? and if
someone did, how many people would actually truly
understand why?
11. Threat/Hope
• Truly utopian societies have no need for war. they have no
crime or unrest, they are truly at peace.
• The Pax Romana or roman peace was the great peace that
Rome gave to the world, it was ironically enforced by Roman
military power. Peace or death.
• Todays equivalent could be called the Pax Americana,
American Peace, which is held through the funding and
training of middle eastern armies and through of-shore
investment and manufacturing. But the balance of power is
shifting out of the west and soon the centers of the world
will be Beijing, New Delhi, maybe even bagdad? and we ask
ourselves; will we face the same subversive intervention so
that they can maintain their peace at the price of ours?
