Utopia Past

Surviving Life in a ‘70s Sex Commune - The Daily Beast:

It isn't like pretty much every "progressive" idea hasn't been tried in the past. "free love", "communal sharing / no property", "legal drugs", "no work", "gay marriage" and on and on forever.

It is a lot like how many species have been tried on the planet and have gone extinct. The religious / cultural structures that survived the test of time were the ones that had advantages.

No reason that one would expect people that don't understand history and believe that having more data somehow makes them more wise to understand what that means though.
