The world will be taken over by a utopic state. Every human being will be morally righteous and extremely upright, and everyone will do their part in making society constantly improve, for example by inventing new technologies or exploring space to find suitable planets to colonize. All crime, poverty, war, scarcity, evil, hatred and negative emotion will be completely eradicated. The world will function in total order, and every generation will be smarter than the last. Everyone will be happy and want for nothing. Everything will operate in total harmony and peace, with everything and everyone functioning according to their place. There will be no confusion or doubt in a society of immortals. Everyone will have their brains and bodies modified to be absolutely perfect.
define morally righteous
define extremely upright
define improvements of society - are you just talking about scientific achievements?
What are the crimes you wanna eradicate? Can you list them all or define your source thats defining whats a crime and whats not?
Your saying Hatred and Negative emotions will be eradicated. Are you suggesting we humans will be mutated to some new beings? Cause not feeling bad about anything is considered a sickness and a personality disorder [source :

so if a generation be more stupid than the last - your world is not perfect yes? I define this as a better perfection :
We all are at the most possible state of smartness and there is nothing more to be done to be smarter - but for that you need to first define being smart.
why eradicating sadness will make a world perfect. Even in your perfect world people MUST be sad for the past version of humanity unless your saying the people in your world will go back in time and change the world but this is practically a logical loop. What they erase will be erased cause they next generation has a more subtle version of perfectness.
Why being in peace and harmony is perfection? Isn't your version of perfection in war with whats proposed in current world? Being in peace and harmony can be adapted to this idea : Everything is in its place (not strictly peaceful cause that makes a paradox). Now You need to define everythings place and prove the world is going toward that point - cause the current theories all are indicating we are moving from that point not reaching it. And yet you need to say why thats perfection and every human in your wolrd must have the same definition of perferction.
Why being in a society of immortals is good? Why immortality is perfection? If we have no reason to live (That is death) what are we living for? Why is death against your perfection. Death is what defines us and concludes us. Nothing is perfect without a conclusion - that is philosophy. You need to eiather prove that's wrong or put death in your version of world.
Maybe humans fail in finding a way to be immortal, Your perfect world has flaws you need to fix ^
What is a perfect mind and what is a perfect body. Define them please cause I can define a better version from whatever your defining.
