Solarpunk Presents Podcast7.2: Ariel & Christina Discuss: Why Must Utopia Be Cruel?In this episode, Ariel and Christina try to get to the bottom of why our fictional visions of utopia are so negative. They often involve mindless acquiescence to an authoritarian nanny state, the oppression and labor of an underclass, or both. It’s as if we can’t imagine a situation in which we all voluntarily treat each other (reasonably) decently and life can be good for everyone. We discuss the literary origins of utopia, how it has evolved (or not) as a concept, and Ariel gives a few examples of sci-fi futures that are about as close to her style of solarpunk utopia as can be. Ultimately, the topic of utopia raises more questions than answers.<a href="https://youtu.be/WR8yg2cOcMk?si=AwMMgH2MNFHmO8Ct" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/WR8yg2cOcMk?si=AwMMgH2MNFHmO8Ct</a><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#solarpunk</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SolarpunkPresentsPodcast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SolarpunkPresentsPodcast</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Season7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Season7</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Episode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Episode</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/PodcastEpisode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PodcastEpisode</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/YouTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#YouTube</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/utopia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#utopia</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SirThomasMore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SirThomasMore</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SaintThomasMore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SaintThomasMore</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ThomasMore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ThomasMore</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Dystopia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dystopia</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Protopia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Protopia</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/WakandaForever" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WakandaForever</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BlackPanther" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlackPanther</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Indigenous</a> Futurisms <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Afrofuturism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Afrofuturism</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Utopias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Utopias</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Anti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Anti</a>-Utopia <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/LiteraryHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LiteraryHistory</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Cruelty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Cruelty</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Despair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Despair</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Hope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Hope</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/UntopiaParadox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UntopiaParadox</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Omelas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Omelas</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TheOnesWhoStayAndFight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheOnesWhoStayAndFight</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TheOnesWhoWalkAwayFromOmelas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheOnesWhoWalkAwayFromOmelas</a>

Scott MatterAn overdue <a href="https://aus.social/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#introduction</a> 👋 (thanks for the prompt when I switched instances <a href="https://aus.social/@aussocialadmin" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@aussocialadmin</a> )My name is Scott and I live in Sydney (on Wangal Country in the Inner West). My pronouns are he / him.I was born and raised in Canada (Alberta, even), and have lived in some great places around the world (Montreal, NYC, Vermont, rural Kenya). Being a Canadian man of a certain age, yes, I play hockey. Even in Australia.I've been very (not extremely) online since the 90s. First it was rec.music.phish, then fark.com, then the Big Tech Socials.I strive to behave with compassion and to be more kind than nice. But I also shitpost from time to time because internet.I'm interested in lots of things and barely maintain a blurred boundary between personal and professional.
