you cant say that it just perpetuated the existing order. its one of the biggest changes in human history and its only begun.
anyway.
non utopian scenarios -
when fusion energy is cracked, within this century, its not utopian or out of the realms of human ability for us to organize and aggressively demand that fusion is implemented and gives practically free energy to everyone. and it would be practically free since the cost of one plant (which is all you'd need) wouldn't be much.
people are definitely capable of organizing that.
i think we're definitely capable of putting out the idea that free energy is a right, that the rich deserve to pay for it for the rest of us through the tax system, based on my ignorant estimates it would hardly be that expensive.
likewise we're capable of solving the malnutrition problems
the key is to start in the 1st world FIRST and reject all the tricks of universalism which say "cos the africans are starving u just be a good slave and dont dare expect anything other than subsistence".
we're capable of upholding a social expectation that copyright law only applies to certain things. you should be able to 3d print out anything you want if it doesn't harm anyone.
we can pressurize and organize and keep the internet as free as possible.
there are things we can do, and basic scientific literacy and technical skills are the most important way to be able to achieve them.
