I'm writing this before reading your own point of view, to avoid bias. XD
I definitely would vote for the society in which we make our own rules. Human beings are inherently independant, and I believe no matter what that if we lived in the second society, we would begin to feel stifled, and rebel as a result of this. Also, a society where you want for nothing provides no challenge, and if there is something that humans thrive on, it is challenge.
Challenge defines who we are as individuals. Without it, there are many parts of ourselves that we will never understand, and we wont learn lessons the hard way, and have terrible experiences in order to have the amazing ones. Am I making any sense?
Anyway! That's just my opinion. Definitely a flawed, challenging and changing society for me.
