Solarpunk Presents Podcast<p>7.2: Ariel &amp; Christina Discuss: Why Must Utopia Be Cruel?</p><p>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.</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/WR8yg2cOcMk?si=AwMMgH2MNFHmO8Ct" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/WR8yg2cOcMk?si=AwMMgH</span><span class="invisible">2MNFHmO8Ct</span></a></p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solarpunk</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SolarpunkPresentsPodcast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarpunkPresentsPodcast</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Season7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Season7</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Episode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Episode</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/PodcastEpisode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PodcastEpisode</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/YouTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YouTube</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/utopia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>utopia</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SirThomasMore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SirThomasMore</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SaintThomasMore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SaintThomasMore</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ThomasMore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThomasMore</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Dystopia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dystopia</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Protopia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Protopia</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/WakandaForever" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WakandaForever</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BlackPanther" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackPanther</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Indigenous</span></a> Futurisms <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Afrofuturism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Afrofuturism</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Utopias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Utopias</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Anti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anti</span></a>-Utopia <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/LiteraryHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LiteraryHistory</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Cruelty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cruelty</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Despair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Despair</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Hope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hope</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/UntopiaParadox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UntopiaParadox</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Omelas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Omelas</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TheOnesWhoStayAndFight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheOnesWhoStayAndFight</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TheOnesWhoWalkAwayFromOmelas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheOnesWhoWalkAwayFromOmelas</span></a></p>
