The Golden Age was a lie. (Destiny)

Not necessarily. I've been thinking a lot about this recently. I think perhaps the Golden Age wasn't Star Trek but merely a rapid push forward in existing technologies with a few standout achievements like the NLS Drive, AI Research, and medical breakthroughs. None of which really apply to things like car design or building design. And if they did, we were still living in a world where things cost money instead of an implausible Star Trek like utopia. It'd be impractical to tear down buildings or replace every car on the road.
