Thanks for sharing this, Johnny! I needed this example of good in the world.
Spicy game suggestion. OK, it is more like cinnamon. That is, a little sweet, but could get some folks heated: "In utopia..." and then everyone gets a turn to describe a specific way in which utopia would be an improvement on our current world. For example, "Groceries would be free! (With everyone involved in the supply chain amply compensated, of course.)"
For a saccharine version: the answers must be framed positively. So, you cannot just say X, Y, or Z would not exist. For example, if someone wanted to say, "We would not have prisons." Instead, they could say, "The justice system would be rehabilitative, with wrap-around medical, social, and financial support."
I like it! To turn up the heat we could ask that for every thing that most folks would like (such as free groceries), we'd have to add something folks would get furious at (like soft drinks or seltzer are abolished) - but that would still be a part of your utopia anyways.
