There's a gulf between something better and utopia.


Better can be very subjective. What you think is better may not align with what I think is better.

One of us may feel individual freedom at all costs, one might be the greater good trumps the individual.


You want individual freedom at all costs? Go to live in a jungle. Take the complete freedom with the dangers it brings with itself.

Otherwise you want the benefits of living in a society? The only way is you're going to sacrifice your freedom.


And your immediate black and white view shows how impossible it will actually be.

I've shown two sides of the most obvious dichotomy and you've show how intractable this will be by instantly expelling me, theoretically.


There's no moderate view available for me until people keep starving or are forced to slave away their life just for mere survival.
