      I don’t need the space, I need the luxury. If I have to wipe with anything fewer than three ply, it could start a war

    I’m not sure there’s a single syllable that fits the whole plus so I guess you drop it and kind force inclusion by implying it

      goddesses are already gods

      That’s called invisibilization of women. The French language, which is my mother tongue, does that a lot, and we’re fighting against that.

    But also Ferengi and lots of other mercantile civilizations, and we also see the individual crew members taking part in the trade/monetary economy. It’s kinda the Federation, and more specifically its government, that doesn’t deal use money.

    And that’s because it projects influence through military might and soft power. It doesn’t need money.

      Even in Iain Bank’s Culture, there were people who chose to exist outside of paradise. A prime example is Kivas Fajo, who couldn’t satisfy his obsession within The Federation. Harcourt Fenton Mudd and Cyrano Jones are others. My theory is that the writers needed plot devices, and the entire production team were all capitalists (and so prone to germinating stories with capitalist preconceptions), and it manifested itself in-universe as people who simply can’t live how they want to inside The Federation. Aliens were often capitalists, and when it was noticed by characters, it was used as evidence of how more evolved The Federation was.

      Fundamentally, The Federation needed mechanisms for interacting and trading with other non-Federation cultures, economies outside of the established system of resource distribution. It’s in these interstitial areas where many of the stories take place.

  Can somebody explain to me how it’s supposedly “logical”?

  We haven’t achieved “fully automated” on Earth for as mundane tasks as picking vegetables. What makes you think space travel would make full automation possible?
