From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I jumped straight to Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on Wii. :)

Life is indeed AWESOME!

It seems like you are getting more emotional answers, but something else to look at is quality of life. You hear about crime, disease, poverty, destruction of the environment, overpopulation and would think that overall things keep getting worse. The reality is the opposite. Quality of life keeps getting better for almost everyone (as measured, not using emotion). I strongly recommend watching this video - be a rational optimist.

Or to put it another way - even if you spend the rest of your life alone in a basement you will get continued improvements in medicine, food, travel, entertainment, culture, communication etc with ever larger increases in selection and many more cheaper or free choices.

Age 40. I don't smoke, drink or party either and as an atheist this is the one and only life I get.

NVC is providing the best intuitive level experience so far. Science is catching up.

As for the practicality of how to implement such a society. Patience... it will happen either way. This is the natural evolution of our society. Read The Rational Optimist for a good case on why this is true. You can however contribute to the acceleration of this process by becoming an Artist.
