    Even before knowing about the Burn nuclear war in the lore, I always think we humans will annihilate ourselves first before coming into a utopia. It is a pattern in human history that things will always get worse before it becomes better. Humans are emotional and angry creatures. We always need catharsis.

    Edit: everybody can tell I don’t really watch Star Trek, as I mistook the Burn as Earth’s nuclear war lol.

      I don’t think we’re capable of a utopia on a large scale. Not unless our fundamental nature is altered, anyway.

        Which is a good thing, perfection is subjective and humans could never buld a Utopia for the same reason ants could build one.

          It’s not necessary to lose individuality like the Borg to have a utopia. The selfish nature that we needed to survive needs to be toned down.
