A social media portal centered on making wishes, collecting wishes, "grooming" wishes, "engineering" them, solving them, sublimating them and trading wishfulfilment services. Finding other people with similar aims.
From defining what we want to solving them in reference to others' wishes and our capabilities and their value. Then moving on to include everyone and provide some or all wishes to all.
Timelines of wishes - a line per objective with links on how others have achieved that others who still want it or how they have resorted to something else instead or sublimated this wish to something else.
Nozick on the complexity of utopia.

Social oblivion
When I see "The general population does not know what is happening and it does not even know that it does not know."by Noam Chomsky I see the parallel with the Matrix film. People are oblivious to their condition of working as robots in the system. I do not just mean the work condition or the economy as run by the establishment, it is the whole with the home life and family included in the picture. It is the mechanism of chronic low level stress that disorders the creative and analytical mind and shuts the consciousness to seeing how most other people are conditioned and cognitively blind. After seeing this social oblivion it might be possible to see those who are seeing the world differently and cannot be shutdown by an economy of stress into monotonous routines and mindless jobs that could and should be completed by robots.
However it is difficult to find others among the many who are in the mundane drudgery of the routines when the difference is in the mind. But novophilia is a tell-tale behavioural trait that should make the person shine out.

Paramotivation
I found out something curious about myself, namely that I always have something to do and yet the focus of my motivation is for a side-agenda. When at school I concentrated quite a large part of my time playing PC games and writing programs in BASIC.
When I went to college I concentrated on Pure Mathematics and my Physics and Chemistry studies lagged behind. I found it hard to balance them.
When at a university I would play again with programs in Mathematica investigating the properties of prime numbers and number theory in general. Most of the other studies lagged behind.
At the moment I play around with tracker music, personal programming studies and again my studies are suffering. I wonder whether knowing of this problem there is something that I could do about it and actually get done what benefits me most while acting to myself that I really need to focus on something that is really a side issue. Such an agenda might motivate me to get the real agenda moving.
Centre of the world
There is a super-supermassive blackhole, in the centre of our Galaxy that is probably bigger than any other galaxy's black hole. A hundred times more massive than the average central black holes in the galaxy. This is strange, why should we inhabit this exact one AND be the only known intelligent sentient lifeform.
We are in the metaphorical sense at the very "centre of the world" in this aspect, this is odd concerning the Copernican Principle that has held true in so many branches of science. Here are a few examples. We are not inhabiting a planet that has a star circling it. Copernicus enlightened us on this. We (as humans) are not a special creation in the nature, we are just one among many forms that have evolved. Darwin enlightened us on this. We do not inhabit the only continent. Columbus enlightened us on this. We do not have to read the Bible in an obscure and mostly unused language. Martin Luther enlightened us on this. We are not a species that last forever. It is easy to go as far as remembering that Buddha told that our ego is just one among the many things. We are not a genetic culmination point of nature. A transhumanist might argue that evolution is just beginning about to begin again in a new groove and indeed humans have just been a stepping stone. We are not privileged persons in command of their will by a matching reason. Freud enlightened us on that. As there are libidinal and aggressive drives running us in our subconscious mind. We are not at the apex of the form of historico-social structure (in opposition to Francis Fukuyama theory of the end of history and Marx's scant visions of communism) - there are likely to be many others. We humans do not have the only self-conscious minds on the planet. We do not have monopoly on god there are many gods. Human rights are universal not singular, from then on royalties are obsolete as forms of government. Rousseau enlightened us on this. Human rights are not based on the conditions of any specific nations but happened as the spirit of the times. Jellinek argued that. The list is long.
