    I wonder why Utopia became a word for an ideal world. With a few exceptions, Utopia seems a nightmare

      Someone's Utopia is a Dystopia for others. That's something Marxist/Communist/Socialist/Collectivist believers don't get, that's why personal liberty and universal rights are important.

      There’s a word he could have used: Eutopia, meaning “good place”. But the author chose Utopia, meaning “no place”. Makes ya think.

    As far as I remember, Utopians can be engaged in any creative or academic activities if they want to or if they are acknowledged to have enough abilities. Thus their life seems not so boring to me.

    Utopia does not mean the 'perfect place' it means the 'no place'. However, in Latin 'Eutopia' would mean the 'perfect place' (more accurately the 'good place')

    • @ericschwarz5908
      @ericschwarz5908 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It is a play on words for both of those terms. It is both a good place and no place, as in an ideal non-existent land that was satirically created to protest English cultural and societal norms of the time.

      @riyadhul-hoque6851 5 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      The outsiders value the gold. Utopians dont have to so they can use it without incurring any loss. I think...

    • @midhun5551
      @midhun5551 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      First thing that Utopia is a high functioning and productive country where they have surplus good rather than importing. When you have surplus, you export. When you exchange goods with other country, it creates a debt on the country which buys it from Utopia, and they give what Utopia wants according to the value of the goods they received; it can be some other goods which Utopia cannot produce or it can be a debt that Utopians can use later in many ways other than money transaction. So chances of money involving in transactions of goods and day to day life will be very less. Since Utopian philosophy, laws and upbringing discourages the population from having pleasure from wealth and possessions, valuable metals and stones become unprofitable for themselves, but they maybe building art or utensils with them. When everyone in the country gets equal share of food, cloth and power, act of becoming rich in possession of gold or money becomes absurd.

    In Tudor times one definition of Utopia would be a world without Thomas More and Papist corruption. An educated but malign individual - one example, his vitriolic antipathy to a bible in English. If you want to sanctify someone from that time, then William Tyndale is a wholly more deserving martyr.
