O, sweetie, I really do adore you and your kitties; but I have found that with three there are sometimes one or two too many for comfort! Four! They practically own our place already I can only imagine four and tremble!!

Of course we also have the dog!!

I imagine you will win the lottery, one of 'em, and build a nice Emerald City for kitties! But when you have those three or four hundred there do, please, make sure that the emeralds are quite translucent and transparent so I can stand outside the gate and see in!!

I'll answer the question based on my first reaction.

Alas, my ideal world would be a dystopian hellhole. I distrust authority, and I distrust it most when it's granted to me. I don't think this is the best of all possible worlds, but it's a decent start, and I envision only incremental changes. If I could reconstruct a world from scratch, I'd break it.

But the two things I want to see change in this world more than anything else are women's education and the end of energy from fossil fuels. The first is not just a matter of human rights, but the surest proven way to avoid overpopulation, and it's largely because of better women's education that population growth is slowing down. Without keeping our population in check, we're doomed to endless strife. The energy issue is the other tough nut to crack, the other issue (besides population increase) that leads to so much trouble around the world.

For you, please don't feel blue

of Faerie Love of Faerie Blessings

so may we be in the light of happiness

in the light of pureness of Faerie-ness

Let us travel to distant lands while holding etherical hands

of our faerie friend's hands to be in their happiness

and joyfulness so we may become who we truly are

to remember how far we have become

and never again be numb for the angels, faeries and gnomes

are with us, forever more Listen! - Here them speak

Joy Joy Joy are the lands Joy joy joy are with our hearts and hands

for we Love you. Happy Happy happy we stand

for never we leave, and forever we stand

always beside you so please don't be so blue

we Love you!

As for inventing my own perfect world... I wouldn't want that sort of power.

I agree with Leiandra here, its to much power, for one man to handle. I could think of some suggestions but I wouldn't want responsibility for it all.

I don't really see any responsibility.

I would create a world without people. 

QuoteI don't really see any responsibility.

Perhaps rational thinking is needed. Beliefs create irresponsibility. Fears control people instead of logic.

Create a world with just my friends, fairies, dragons, puppy dogs and kitty catz.

Whose rationality are we gonna live with and by, Lisa? Mine your, Hobbes' or Locke's, Heideggar's or de Beauvoir's or tekla's?

I see a problem definining rationality. If you see no problem living and acting by my rationality, then, well then, we never have a problem at all!!

Mine. 

Mina.

I still need to find a magician's magic wand repair shop, my fairy magic wand is still bent and I can only cast spells around corners and keep frying the back of peoples trousers.

Subjective human thoughts are not rational. All facts applied to logic are rational. Not partial facts applied to emotions and partial perceived knowledge as most humans use.

partial perceived knowledge

OK, again I'm stumped who has this? Is there either an impartial or a complete perceived human knowledge, Lisa?

If so, who has it? I'd like names and even addys if possible so I can discover how to obtain this wondrous ability for myself!! 

Rationality sucks, who wants to live in a communist robotic world. Boring, no wiggle room for imagination and emotion. Emotion and imagination = art from the heart. Well that's my irrational take on the human mind and heart, what would we do without it? It would be pretty boring without the artists, architects, musicians and poets and book writers, performing arts, and movie script writers and even the tree huggers.

QuoteI'm stumped who has this?

It is a matter of what has this. Not everything is who. There are no absolutes or perfects.

It would be pretty boring without the artists, architects, musicians and poets and book writers, performing arts, and movie script writers and even the tree huggers.

But rationality is the difference between the dreams and the reality.  Lots of people dream of that stuff, but doing the work necessary - like say, oh the physics of actually building something - is what makes it real.

i want a world a bit like ours but where people work together for each other and everything is less relaxed and not so serious.
