The best one I can think of?

The unachieveable utopian socialist paradise, where government has been phased out. I think.

But how would order be kept in that? what if somebody were to get greedy, or muderous?

I don't mean that its achievable... I mean if it just was... well obviously it either wouldn't last long or part of it would includ completely good people.

42 meaning behind Life, the Universe and Everything.
How long is a piece of string = 42
Why get up in the morning = 42
How many traffic jams does there have to be before I can get to work = 42 (possibly higher on the A45)

So which question is it that the meaning of life (42) is actually answering?

The answer isn't 42 its forty-two.

what I had meant by that is that he had said the same thing and ws going to watch that thing, except he was somehow going to stay on h2g2 at the same time. I don't know how though. maybe during the commercials...

Okay, so this WIRO character didn't mention anything about death being the perfect society, then. Ahhhh.

Is death a society? Or state?

What is the max of life?

Death can be both. Just like hardness can be a smell and a feeling, or yellow can be a road and an idea. Everything is everything and only our minds block it out.
"Everything is fire" - Democritus

You can't live life to the max. Everything you do is equally max-ful.

Max-ful eh?
I think the whole "personal meaning" deal comes back in this case. The "max" includes doing what you like. If you aren't doing that you could be more Max-tastic
