    No, because a Utopia is a Utopia for everyone or it’s not a Utopia.

          This the etymology yes.

          “But it now usually describes an ideal society that is considered better than contemporary society.”

          So, as you can see we’re not in ancient greece, are we? “Buzz lightyear smug squint”

          So, when people say they’ll be happy in utopia, they’re unintentionally making a depressing dark joke?

    After 1 billion the billionaire wants 2 billion.

    You can rest soundly knowing these people too will never be happy.

      The handful I’ve encountered up-close-and-personal are legitimately miserable. Nice trips, sure. Nice stuff. But the opposite of “joyful” in a very obvious way.

    If you’re thinking of American right-wingers and fascists who are currently celebrating Trump’s victory, I must say their view of the world is so dark, negative and pessimistic, that nobody could really describe it as utopia-like. This is a brief respite for them, nothing more.

    If you’re thinking more abstractly, or of some very specific incredibly lucky people, then I guess it could be so.
