    Utopians believe their idealism is evidence of a greater imagination—an ability to envision how much better the world could be. But really, they lack imagination, as they can’t envision how much worse the world could be—and it could be a lot more worse than it could be better.

        So what's the optimal perspective then? Is aiming for something less than ideal/best better than aiming for the ideal/best, just because we'll never achieve the ideal/best (if indeed we really won't—have we attained knowledge of its unattainability?)?

        I'm very fond of realism.

        We mustn’t mistake utopians with being optimists. Sure, vision for progress is a good thing, we must strive for it. But utopians are pessimists, unwilling to accept anything but perfection. A most imperfect unattainable perspective

        Yes, you articulated this so well Emmy! I am an optimist and loath to be confused with a utopian

        It's a failure to think of second order feedbacks and counter-intuitive outcomes.

        They also claim their idealism is evidence of greater Empathy - the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. But in reality, since they won't concede that out-group communities and cultures might sometimes wish us harm, they only have weaponised, strategic Sympathy

        Biggest flaw in utopian thinking is the belief that a utopia is actually possible.
