What would a perfect society focus on according to you? I was

perfect virtual reality helmets

serious note, I like listening to music

legalized prostitution
space exploration
a network of underground roads across the country, like metro but for cars
free beer

getting off earth and colonizing new worlds

I meant more as a bigger focus that would effect the whole of society.

Why space exploration?
For survival of our species or something else?

>>3011630
something else

>>3011587
A perfect society would work on maintaining personal freedom and self-exploration/improvement among it's citizens. That way no matter what was created, it would surely be something beneficial to humanity.

Survival as a species, I know the sun dying is a long way off but the further we spread the less chance there is of us going extinct.

Like?

What if someone creates something purely for profit lets say a very addictive drug which has no positive effect on the user aside from a brief good feeling?

>>3011667
Would the comfort,health and prosperity of individuals be less important in this case than the bigger picture?

Deep ecology.

ensuring life, liberty, and happiness for all

of course there's levers to it

ensuring life is the bare minimum of a society, if it doesn't protect its populous from being killed in large number then the society shouldn't exist at all.

ensuring liberty is the call for a GOOD society, to protect its populous while giving them the ability and opportunity to pursue whatever they wish. Usual problem with libertarianism/free market capitalism is that it might check this block but it usually unchecks the "ensuring life" qualification

ensuring happiness makes it a utopia. It still has to ensure life and liberty to qualify but if it can satisfy people on every level to the point that not questioning it actually sounds like a smart idea and not the beliefs of the suicidal waiting to get killed by government/riots/diseases/lack of food/other external threats then you got yourself a perfect society

The way society iz setup tho we will never have that they have us living in fear at this point

The perfect society is one that,

1. Replaces or grows it's population
2. Does so while maintaining or increasing the quality of life of said population.

So a healthy society would be one that is life-affirming, has a strong sense of duty to a type of collective, be it family, nation or state and practices economic principles that are sustainable in addition to being gainful.

A failing society is one that in materialistic, individualistic, consumerist and hedonistic.

When self-actualization for the common citizen takes precedence over sense of duty to society, or becomes mutually exclusive to their duty to society- that's when you have a problem.
