• ... that utopian thinking can help people overcome their tendencies to justify existing social structures? Source: "In the inaugural empirical exploration of utopian thinking, it has consistently emerged that such thinking diminishes system justification." (First sentence of the section 'Overcome system justification')

Moved to mainspace by Kiwimiho (talk). Self-nominated at 00:29, 5 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Utopian thinking; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• While I consider this a great first effort at tackling a very complex topic as a first article, the nom'd article is unfortunately too full of uncited statements and essay-like speech. I did a cursory once-over to catch a couple of the more obvious problems, but I don't see this article being approved sufficiently within a reasonable timeframe, particularly with the long wait time on this nomination. Despite my rejection of this hook, I highly encourage Kiwimiho to stick with their editing—this is a promising start! Thanks and all the best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 07:20, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
