Woah there cowboy,
We're still closer to rival monkey tribes hurling our shit at one another as it exits our anuses than we are some benevolent civilization with noble pursuits like knowledge.
Don't worry, a few more pointless world wars and population decimations born out of glorified sociopathy, and our species might actually develop admirable priorities beyond tribal resource hoarding from the ashes.
When humans are no longer interested in keeping up with some Kardashian descendant, perhaps we will have stumbled into an age of reason. Seems like as good an indicator as any.
Tbf, even in the Star Trek timeline earth had to go through WWIII nuclear devastation that nearly wiped out all life on earth to even take the first steps on that track
Why are you bringing up Star Trek? That's fiction.
It may be fiction, but (Post-WWIII) it's a blueprint worth following. IMO it's the most realistic likelihood of a 'true' utopia i.e. not a perfect utopia that's secretly/under the surface dystopia.
