What would make this world into a Utopia?
Funding the Commons
Why?
Most of today’s institutions assume that anyone could be a bad actor, and are designed that way. Wikipedia and the Internet are the opposite: they assume good intent, nd their dynamics are beneficial. Both Wikipedia and the Internet are examples of information Commons. Of course, there are many others. If we stopped funding avaricious, extractive projects and started funding those that nourish humans and the world, we might get a Utopia, after all. Jerry M.
