- mikeash 13y agoI'll play the part of the economist and say that this world would primarily be hungry and cold.
- vijayr 13y agoIt would also be a world of half finished projects. Most people who do things just for the sheer joy of learning, challenge, art etc would lose interest in a task when the challenge is conquered.

Non-existent, because people are greedy and will always want more than their fellow man. Even if /you/ don't personally, most of the people around you probably do. This is the #1 reason I get depressed about this life.
