And maybe an ability to regulate technological changes and the effects those changes have on us.
For example introducing more rigorous testing to medical devices, or learning to use addictive media in a reasonable way. Or maybe learning to live with less, rather than demand for more.

This is the most unrealistic advancement in Star Trek.

That wasn't really Star Trek though. That was Picard's personal viewpoint. Many Star Trek captains felt, and acted, differently. Though it does reflect a part of Roddenbery's vision as well.
Maybe it isn't technological, but psychological. Our minds haven't evolved all that much. We need to be kinder, gentler, more respectful of other people and other species, and learn to live in harmony with the environment, rather than always being at war with nature.
