One episode, first season iirc, deals with a man who was cryogenically frozen during the 20th century, he is thawed and cured. He asked the Captain what they do for entertainment, such as TV. Which the android Data comments was a fad in the 20th century. Picard goes on to explain how "humanity has evolved" and they "work on themselves" with pursuits like you mentioned.
They do play some aggressive sports, such as Parises Squares, which have caused minor to life threatening injuries.
Some pursue Governance, other pursue a Military life (Starfleet). The only currency known is Latinum. It is never explained what other members of society do, for example in the future Earth scenes it is never explained how or why some members of society get better apartments, in better locations with better views. How they get their apartments etc, you just sort of assume it all works out somehow. |
Replicators sound better than supermarket shopping.
Where does all that stuff come from in the supermarket? If it can be put in a Walmart why can't it be put into a smart device?
I've got no idea why food costs money and you have to travel far for it.
Starfleet is military organisation. It carries weapons and interferes.
