Came across this article, and it's a very interesting take on how Star Trek has changed with the times, and how modern audiences seem to have a harder time trusting institutions or imagining Trek's utopia.

I think so. I don't think the level of tolerance among humans in star trek will be reached by people before we go extinct.

Pretty much. Don't get me wrong I love Star Trek, but at this point The Expanse looks optimistic compared to the future humanity is recklessly careening towards.

We're unlikely to colonate mars before we go extinct.
