This is true. The world will get better as it always has, but true utopia is not in our nature. We always reach beyond our capabilities which means we will always want something we can't have, ergo we will never have utopia no matter how good life is. Also considering everyone's definition of utopia is different, everyone would have to agree that we have achieved utopia. Not to mention I'm sure heroin addicts believe they have utopia when they are high, but I'm pretty sure most of us would consider being in that state permanently to be a waste of life.

My personal hope, is for a star trek like existence with no war and no crime, and for ageing to be solved. It's a big ask but that's my definition of utopia which I think is achievable, but we would still have problems we would need to solve
