    I think the Star Trek ideal is not viable in the least as people will always be self centered. They will either seek either to make there own lives better or to make there families lives better. Also Star Trek changes its narrative depending on the movie or series.

      I don’t think humans would be naturally self centered if they lived in an environment that actually encouraged sharing and cooperation instead of actively encouraging and rewarding psychopathy and selfishness.

      There were likely people who thought it impossible that wolves would someday become domesticated, and eventually be our best buds, due to their ‘unchangeable’ nature.

      We are all products of our environment.

        Wolves are pack animals, and treat other members of their pack as equals. It’s really not that surprising that an offshoot of their species was domesticated.

        Also, dogs are actually kinda unique in how changeable they are. I don’t know of any other species with such drastic variations in size, coloring, and behavior.
