a "perfect world" is pure fiction
i think a reason many artists love creating fantasy worlds is because they can envision their own idea of a "perfect world". (ooooor a world that's gone to pot, but that's not the topic of today's post.) but what even is a "perfect world"?
simply put, it's pure fiction; a "perfect world" can never exist. but when you read most fiction, you're not really there to think about politics or economics, are you? sometimes in my animations, i make such a world; it's not important to think about such aforementioned systems when telling a story about, say... a young girl battling a dragon to acquire the key to the kingdom gates:
(song by Daniel Higley, video by me)
in writing fiction, life can look as perfect as you want it to. you don't have to explain why a child has her own base in a cave, by herself, with potions and weapons. or how she got all that stuff. or why the key to the kingdom is a red rose guarded by a large dragon. or even why there are no other people present. it just is.
but when you do write a story pondering the idea? well... i think about this video from Tale Foundry. what, in real life, do you have to do to create a "perfect world"? if one is unhappy, do you administer drugs to force them to smile? if one disagrees with your politics, do you kill them and replace them with a robot? if there are no rules or regulations for scientists, businessfolks, or politicians, won't they do whatever they please, no matter how evil it is? i wouldn't want to live in that world!
what i'm saying is, leave the idea of a "perfect world" in fiction, where it belongs.
