I'm here for both.

You know… I never really put it together but there really is not much interpersonal conflict between those blessed with the post-scarcity society.. tensions, sure, but not a lot of really meaningful or lasting conflict, and certainly not what you’d expect from a large crew living together semi-permanently. you see it more with those outside the federation (I also just assume the entire federation is post-scarcity utopia, but that does make the outliers confusing to me personally).

I guess that could be as much to “neutralize the prior story” as to build up that post-scarcity is just better, but there are too many big arcs for that to be a reasonable explanation..

Fuck. Makes that four unattainable needs from those series. (Space travel, replication, holodeck, post-scarcity society. Plz don’t ask me to pick one 😅)

I guess there’s a reason I’m into solarpunk..
