Perfect Worlds

Why do people obsess over these purely hypothetical realms? Most of the time, people don't plan to make heaven a place on Earth, but instead use them to project everything they think is wrong with their current existence. Also, different people's visions tend to be incompatible with each other. I cannot understand what it accomplishes to think about what would happen "in a perfect world." Then again, what I think is that in a perfect world, I wouldn't exist.

    In a perfect world, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

    It's used as one of those retroactive statements to make your argument seem better.

    "I hate democracy because democrats suck and they ruin the economy."

    "In a perfect world, we wouldn't have democracy or democrats"

    The statement above that should now seem much more informed to the untrained eye.

    ^ Strange; if you take the second quote as a response to the first quote, it takes on a whole different meaning, like "in a perfect world, we wouldn't have democracy because we wouldn't need it, but the world isn't perfect, and democracy is the best we've got, so we're stuck with it."
