I chose fully automated luxury gay space communism please!!!
I think too many people assume they would be the next Immortan Joe.
I would make the argument that even under perfectly executed communism space travel is unlikely to end up being the focus
Funnily enough, it was not a focus for the United Federation of Planets, seeing as having over 100 major inhabited worlds the number of colonies was relatively small and the Starfleet numbers and ships were very small.
We just see the show’s title and that is is always from the perspective of Starfleet members.
Although, from an ecological point of view, asteroid mining and orbital manufacturing plants would be a good way of offloading the environmental costs of a post-scarcity society.
But nothing beats a matter replicator.
Matter replicators you would hope would bring about post scarcity and the kind of society you see in Star Trek, I have my doubts one would ever be developed without greed as a motivation though
Short of changing human nature I don’t think even with all tthat tech we’d end up being a fair society, people would hoard energy, replicator tech, political power etc (unless it’s so simple people could build them themselves I suppose)
But then you wisely decided to shut your dirty mouth.
Edit: /jk
How do you see something like that and your first thought is to respond with hostility
I apologise for not including a tone indicator, I do try but I keep thinking I’m more obvious than I am. It was genuinely meant as a joke, as in “no, lalalala, go away, I don’t want to hear it”.
Ah gotcha, difficult to tell over text and a lot of people here would genuinely respond like that unprovoked
