I certainly don’t think a utopia is the only option and even have a bit in there about non-utopian societies.

Utopian societies that are post-scarcity are just the most likely to have the resources and desire, and even then I’m not seeing it as realistic.

And how are you going to incentivize something decades or centuries down the line? I’m not seeing that one working either.
