Imagine a society full of just Karim Barsom. Basically, everything is the same as it is now except everything happens at the last minute. Everyone would lay around watching TV, playing games, or pacing for absolutely no reason at all while they still have hours of work they must complete. For some, this would be a dystopian society. For me, this is a utopia as long as it is done right. This society would probably be the perfect fit for me but it is based on a different idea that I can not claim credit for.

This society came to be because of a scientific study on stress. In this study, it is found that short bursts of high stress are better for you than a prolonged period of low to moderate stress. The government decided that the best way to do this is by making everyone push everything off until the last minute. In all the extra time, leisure activities are the only thing that people are allowed to do. If you want to do work instead, that is your own choice as long as you know that you won’t live as long as everybody else. There are always the people who can’t stand around and do nothing their entire lives. They are the backbone of this society. They get all the real work done while everyone else has jobs that can be put off until the last minute. There is no reason for anyone but those people to go to work for more than a couple hours every week becuase it’s not like they were going to do anything during the rest of the time anyways. All the trash would be collected on the same day in a mass panic by the garbage men. Rather than stopping people in traffic for speeding or other violations, police just take a picture of the license plate and driver and then send them a fine or court order whenever they have time. The point is, in this society, most things would still get done. It all just happens a little later. If you don’t do your work, nobody can tell you off because then they will look like hypocrites whenever they want to take a break simply because they feel like it. People cover up for each other just to keep society
