We could call that sport the Games for Hunger or something like that and the men could all be running. Also we would need populations of Kevins, perhaps decanted for the purpose because what people really miss in a utopia is the bullying. Not full-on to the death school type bullying, we are all too refined now for that and understand everyone is a sensitive frozen water crystal and any slightly offended sensibility is mortal injury to us all, and just very disappointing. No, what we crave is the no chinned, anonymous and slightly sarcastic bullying of a fully mature mind. Laughing at the opinions of others from our hide shacks and downvoting them in wank-gangs until they yield and go outside, in the air - the true defeat of the internetian. I have forgot the point I was trying to make so I'll stop, but I think the key idea is to reply 'sorry lady but' to any post you know is written by a boy adult.
No just one Kevin. If you have more than one to hate on its antikevinism and that's just racism without the extra steps.
The utopia would spread across the entire globe filling every space humanity chose to live, like pouring proprietary cake mix into a fun shaped cake tin made with universal uniqueness to show your love, so a single Kevin would be overworked. He would need to be scaled up as the revolution proceeded. Even Lenin understood this, its why he had that kid with Yoko.
A Kevin just needs to exist as a funnel for our negative emotions. Just knowing that Kevin exists makes my skin boil. Two Kevin's would be a reason for war and we don't do that anymore.
Kevin can sit in chair at an undisclosed location. He gets a VHS of the Buffy the Vampire slayer episode were her mom dies and two bags of dates per day.
I once read on the internet that a dates only diet might be sufficient to nurture you.
Two Kevin's or even more would be morally complicated.
Yes lady but moral complexity is the raison d'être of the internêt, nay humankind so that has been dealt with in previous discussions (refer fig. 1). Buffy dates everyone so we shall gloss over that to your mention of the edible sort, I think its potatoes that have everything we need except for unprotected social intercourse. All prepped now for utopia.
