"The way the world should be"

3) During an interview, christof states the following: "i have given truman the chance lead a normal life. the world, the place you live in is the sick place. seahaven is the way the world should be." is Christof correct. what, if any, would be the benefits of living in seahaven as opposed to the real world?

The difference between seahaven and the real world is that seahaven is a utopia. and if anybody knows, utopias have a way of never working out. not because they are ideal, or perfect, but mainly because they arent real. what are the benefits of living in a utopia? well utopias are a sanctuary much like seahaven theres peace, prosperity, everybody's happy, flourishing, families are together the world is safe point blank there are no problems. Thats great but in my opinion (maybe im biast because i live a different world) it takes away the substance the real world has. now this may be fine for people who dont mind living in fiction but there's always going to be that one person with questions, that one person who feels different, and eventually other people are going to question and all the cards are going to come crashing down much like in the movie "pleasantville". But to get to the point living in seahaven would be amazing, in another life with another state of mind and without the knowledge i possess. and even if that were possible, if i were born into a world like that i feel me and the people around me wouldnt feel incomplete something in our guts would make us curious and as truman presented curiousity and determination go a long way.
