Unless some external power forces us to behave I can't believe we'll ever reach any utopian state.
Sanity begins to exist only parallel to and not part of our world and it'll only exist as long as it doesn't really endanger the powers.

Outliers notwithstanding, humans are behaving well. Wealth and crime (but also perceived injustice) are correlated strongly. That's his main point.
We don't need Utopia, but let's not give up on the idea of having a more humane economic system just yet, when technology is still developing at a rapid pace.

Fuck. I really liked that man, he was very inspirational.
I love the video of him with mr. king in like the 70's were he basically predict streaming music. He was really a forward-thinker, something most of the society seems to have forgotten.

So sad, I always hoped to visit his compound and get a tour.
I don't really agree with the way he envisioned the future, but he was a challenging thinker and a great force. He went out and built something tangible and real. He quietly taught people about his ideas for decades, refrained from catalyzing or inciting violence, and was obviously motivated only by the purity of his ideas and not some underlying personal conquest for control or power.
Fresco's story is inspiring and he's a great example. I wish we could see more like him.
