Our society could literally look like that picture with a completely chromed out city, with flying cars, and glass helices everywhere, but instead we have to watch "influencers" destroy their career in one statement, because they decided to fuck around with something that's clearly a zoomer ponzi scheme

Honestly when it comes to things preventing us from reaching utopia, I'd say dumb influencers are not even on that list. It's silly but it hardly affects the average person

It's a symptom of a crazy system.

I disagree, I think even in utopia we're going to have people who are popular and get lots of attention.

As long as humans are around utopia will never happen and is completely impossible

Flying cars are the stupidest idea, especially since helicopters have existed the entire time and everyone just refused to accept that fact.

I think the point is that they use anti-gravity technology which allows them to be quiet enough to drive around without bothering people and avoids the hurricane effect of rotor blades
