> None of the problems with building a utopia are technological

Of course they are. Pre-Green revolution humanity probably couldn’t make a utopia. Currently, I’d argue we need way more energy to make utopia-like conditions available to all.

Technology isn’t sufficient. But I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s unnecessary, unless one’s utopia permits dying horribly of infection due to minor cuts and abrasions.

Post-Green revolution humanity hasn’t pulled it off either.

		Not entirely, but we have entirely eliminated at least one disease that was once so common there was a specific goddess to whom you prayed if you wanted to be cured of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shitala

		It's a lot better than it was for the average human on earth than it was a couple centuries ago. Utopia can't happen overnight.
