Going to sign off after this one, Darren, as it's now way off topic. I'm
not a science fiction fan at all, really, and wouldn't know without first
being told what I've written that came from the annals of Star Trek. I think
it's great that you're striving for that, as we're all well served in
striving for something.
Best wishes in your pursuit...

You're obviously a fan of some science fiction, with the Star Trek
references.
My favorite possible (if possible) future societies in SF are post-scarcity,
post-singularity ones. So, it may be (is) just a fantasy, but it is exactly
the type of world I strive towards and wish to live in.
