Well it's Saturday and the news is out of California tech billionaires are trying to build their own Utopia, let's have some fun, and say that, what kind of Utopia would like.

I'll start it off, it will have a church called "the Cathedral of Transgender".

Mods pull at your discretion.

I've been to Utopia. A very pretty little place in the Texas Hill Country.

This description of life in Utopia sounds more like life in Dystopia.

Well, could also be eu topos, meaning good or beautiful place. Topos can also mean something like "premise" as in Aristotle's Topics. So eu topos might mean "beautiful" or "optimistic" premise. With the alpha privative atopos it means "strange" or "out of place." Hence Socrates being called "most strange" in Plato's Phaedrus because he is outside the city walls may also pun on "being out of arguments."

I thought Utopia was first described by Plato. I am pretty sure it ended up being “not so great.” Just like California.

Some analytical speculation has it that Utopia may have been modeled on the organization of the Inca state.

I believe it was Samuel Butler who wrote “Erewhon” (or “Nowhere” spelled backwards) a satire on Victorian society.

Todd Rundgren’s Utopia:

City in my head, Utopia
Heaven in my body, Utopia
It’s time for me, for me to go

City in my head, Utopia
Heaven in my body, Utopia
Into the sky, it rises now

Well, there’s, “Utopos” (Yoo-Toh-Pohs), “The good place” and, “Utopos” (Oo-Toh-Pohs), “The place that cannot be.”

Be wary with that word.
