It has occurred to me that Vulcan must have some form of sex industry to handle those going through Pon Farr who aren’t currently married or otherwise involved. Otherwise, they’d have constant issues with violence from those suffering the “blood fever” whose spouse was far away, or had died, or for some other reason had...
They have meditations they can do with a group of fellow Vulcan's to help suppress the urge in the case of not being able to procreate with their mate. It comes up in Voyager.
Until you hit critical mass on those small politicians, and they change the playing field. The problem is seeing them only as stepping stones on the way to greatness, and not as a power in their own right.

I think you confuse yourself with your own wording. Monetary value is justification in a capitalist system. It is how everyone is judged. If you can not make that money, you are considered a burden, no matter how much non-monetary value you may provide.
The system doesn't really care how you do it. That is the realm of human bias.
Yes, but there is intentional scarcity in a capitalist system.
We have more than enough technological development to solve most scarcity issues in the world... the problem is theyre not economically viable. Which is to say, they're not profitable enough. You don't (immediately) get more out of it than you put in. All you get is the safety and well being of the people in the system. Which is not the primary concern in a capitalist system.
Scientists have to list all the sources they use. And they quickly get called out for doing mistakes in that regard and suffer a loss of trust in their work....
There is still an issue of human bias, though. A thought is not accepted unless it's widely accepted. Even much of our established science was once a pipe dream, even with reproducible proof, until it was accepted on a wider scale.
It's not as simple as just providing proof and letting people accept it, you have to appeal to them. Which is exactly what politicians do.
I have an issue in general with scifi totally ignoring the existence of bicycles, but star trek is particularly fun to think about since in so many situations beaming down in an away team with electric mountain bicycles would be incredibly useful in a basic utilitarian sense.

Oma did all those things. They did none of it. She was literally the only one who ever did anything. All they did was ignore Oma and Anubis and Daniel.
Now when Morgan LeFey was trying to help the gang with the Ori, they gave her a proverbial bitch-slapping.
Though, really, their non-interference was basically an application of the Star Trek Prime Directive. Basically the same kind of thing we recommend when dealing with nature, make as little impact as possible. Its only as cruel as nature itself is cruel.
Right, they're inferring that their opinion was universal. There was a lot of controversy @urrounding the movie, but it had little to do with the quality and a lot to do with peoples inability to remove personal biases from their viewing experience.
Different ships have different size requirements. There's lots of space in a Galaxy class starship, so the tubes can afford to be bigger (and thus easier for people to crawl through). The Defiant is a very utilitarian ship, so space is at a premium and thus the tubes are smaller.
I'm imagine if it was a different class of ship, it would also have different jeffries tubes. I think the Enterprise, Defiant, and Voyager tubes are all styled differently, but consistently with their ship. Not to mention the DS9 tubes would have to be different because they were designed by Cardassians (and built by Bajoran slave labor).
