Maybe so but humans have this strange primal need to hoard resources.

Probably a remnant from prehistoric times when it was a matter of life and death. Will we ever be able to overcome this basic instinct that made capitalism such an unstoppable force? Will this ancient PTSD be ever cured?

I find the insinuation that mental illness is a fundamental part of the human experience to be deeply revolting. There is no excuse for hoarders and rapists.

Man if only there was a singular episode that covered this exact topic in Star Trek and resolved that no, actually slavery wasn't any different for artificial life.

Star Trek was entertaining television. There was also an episode where the ship's doctor made love to a ghost.

True, nothing to learn here. No introspection has ever resulted from media analysis.

star trek mythology talks about having to go through epic level civil war before reach the utopia in the tv series.

OP says there are two futures, digital prostitution or slavery. If we truly believe that it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

On the other hand we could have Star Trek.
