Theories about Utopian Social Engineering

Main Discussion

Theories may be removed if ...

Stated as questions or possibilities (avoid question marks, "Maybe", "I think", etc). More appropriate for another article. Illogical or previously disproven. Proven by canon source, and moved to main article. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments. Responding to another theory (use discussion page instead). This does not include responses that can stand alone as its own theory. Usage of an indented bullet does not imply the statement is a response. See the Lostpedia theory policy for more details.

• Life at the Barracks and the Others' societal structure may be based on Utopian Social Engineering.
  • Juliet appears unhappy with the current situation, as illustrated by her comment at the book club: "And here, I thought free will still existed."
  • Juliet tries to convince Jack that the Others are egalitarian ("We make decisions together.") in "Every Man for Himself". Ben then undermines her by bursting in and ordering her around.
    • The concept is further undermined by the existence of Jacob, who seems to be regarded as the defacto leader of the Others, and even questioning him is seen as taboo.
