Just as any technology that is sufficiently enough advanced will be indistinguishable from magic, it is my firm belief that any society that is sufficiently enough advanced will be indistinguishable from a Utopia. But just as in the former, the effect experienced in the latter is not real and simply denotes a lack of understanding on the matter. A sufficiently advanced society is not a Utopia, it's simply much better than what we have now to an extent that is incomprehensible to a people living in such a base society and in times of such scarcity. Just as we do not let the perception of magic and it's connotations stop us in the pursuit of better technology, we also should not let the perception of a Utopia and it's connotations stop us in the pursuit of a better way of life for all.
