True. It probably helps that Star Trek tech allows them to live in a post-scarcity world. From my understanding of the story-line, it wasn't an easy transition, and required a semi-apocalyptic world war for the survivors to learn their lesson and then develop warp drive etc.

True, although I've never cited that movie as a model for our "utopian future" either, so what's your point?

The whole point of this thread is we are reaching the point where we have arrived to a post scarcity world.

There's enough food produced in the world to feed everybody, we have the means to be fed, clothed. Of course we don't have replicacators yet so.
It's going to take real problem solving and people working together to find the answers to difficult questions. Only when we stop bickering about bullshit we'll be able to find those answers, until then expect no change.
