    Star Trek wouldn’t really function well as a society.

    They hand waive away a lot of the issues. Like who gets to go to the outpost to extract dilithiim vs who gets to go be an artist.

    I don’t think anyone in the Horta episode would be there if there wasn’t something more than “we just like rocks”

      I think anyone who is doing mining by hand wants to be doing it. They easily have the technology to fully automate it.

        They aren’t doing it by hand though.

        The machines are just getting attacked by the horta because the miners are melting their eggs.
