- GuB-42 5y ago>17. Solarpunk is the idea of humanity achieving a social evolution that embraces not just mere tolerance, but a more expansive compassion and acceptance. What kind of interpersonal conflict remains after that, besides play fighting (aka sport)?
- Aeolun 5y agoI dunno, reading that I’m more inclined to prepare for cyberpunk than to magically assume we can fix millions of years of evolution.
- sp332 5y agoStar Trek made it work.
- jhbadger 5y agoYes, by making a comparison between the Utopian Federation and other "lesser" cultures like those of the Klingons and Romulans, and then in later series like DS9, implying that the Federation itself wasn't as utopian as it seemed.
- namarie 5y agoJealousy, unrequited love, grief for those who passed away...? Just what immediately popped into my head; I'm sure there's more.
- Proven 5y agoThey don't. They just don't write about it. How do you think they achieve socialism (and eliminate capitalism) without stealing property from cyberpunks and using legislative and other coercive measures to ban private property? Do you think their socialist utopia can be realized and paid for by beating capitalists in a free market environment?
