This is something of a thought experiment -- the question is, what
would the world be like if it were, in your view, an "ideal" world....
to what degree would people be free to engage in diversity of thought?
to disagree with your own beliefs? to what degree would people in
practice conform to your own beliefs? and more deeply, how would
justice be effected, how would economics and education and agriculture
and recreation and civic life factor in? what would be the sort of
treatment to be afforded by majorities to minorities (including
minorities by sexual orientation), or would there be any? How
homogeneous would we be, how populous, how globally distributed? How
technological? What sort of a world would you envision if told you'd
be dropped in an "ideal" world?
