When I was about 12 I imagined a world where population was at ~100k and people were treated better because there was less of them. Also robots would do boring stuff for us so we get to do fun things and invent.

Everyone would have a fixed livable income under a very controlled and equal economy. My utopia was also a very developed space civilization and everyone was able to go to space and stuff since the population was too low. This meme reminded me of that

Guess what some guy 200 years ago thought the same thing in the toilet

Did you also assume you would be one of the 100,000?

Idk I haven't placed myself anywhere in that society but I didn't imagine a leader so I guess I would be one of the 100,000. "Regulated economy", "near perfect judgement system" and how I will achieve it without a government was a "somehow" for me didn't really think of that because well I was 12
