No... he's more of an observer. Neuron density on that guy is far greater than anything you or I have encountered.

I know it's not the rubbish you are used to reading.
Utopians suffer from what Frederick Hayek termed the “fatal conceit”. They actually believe that government, through some specious calculations and sheer political will they can mold society into what they desire and damn the individuals that dissent. It's fundamental to how all collectivists operate, which is very apparent in the current administration for sure.

Do you realize... Why am I asking. The word Utopia is a pun in Greek that means No Place. Thomas More wrote it as a satire of the politics in western Europe going on at the time. It's fictional. The only "Utopians" out there are the ones in your head. Check your closets though, they like to hide there. Whatever you do don't look under the bed. Do a long jump into bed and immediately hide under the covers. They HATE blankets. Stops them from getting you. A blue fluffy blanky seems to work best.

I don't care about some stinking Greek pun.

I only care about the modern Merriam-Webster definition, not your weasel words...

Ya know... when I was little and I had to pee late at night I would do that. I was sure the boogeyman was under the bed, so I would jump away from it, and run to the bathroom...

Then I'd run and dive into bed from 3-4 feet away to avoid being grabbed.

Sure, sounds silly now... but did the mother fugger ever get me?? No, he did not!

Stuffed cabbage - mmmmm. I miss that stuff. My ex #1 made it from a Czechoslovakian recipe. It was the only thing she cooked well.

I wonder if it's the same stuff. My grandmother was fresh off the boat Czech. Got out at the last minute. It was a mixture of some meats and rice and spices wrapped in cabbage leaves and slow cooked. I haven't had it since I was a kid and I loved it. Have never seen it made since.

I've had a Polish version made by my brothers MIL. She's not fresh off the boat, but she's 90 so maybe 1 generation removed (?). I don't know if it's different than other versions but your descriptions sound about right and it's good. I think she steamed it or simmered it after she assembled them but slow cooked would probably work too.

Gonna have to ask her for the recipe.
