  • Utopia means no-place or nowhere. Often it is mistaken to mean good place and hence its opposite being "dystopia" or bad place, but strictly speaking actually all imaginary good places and bad places are all utopias, or nowheres.
  • "To count as a utopia, an imaginary place must be an expression of desire. To count as a dystopia, an imaginary place must be an expression of fear" - (Perhaps I watched Primer at an interesting time because i reacted to its premise with fear of disaster from the start. it was truly dystopia through its mundanity with one small detail warped).
  • A new world destroys the old in order to exist
