    They were. There was a DS9 episode where quark was sure he was goong to die and was pre-selling his body to collectors.

    They were a critique of modern capitalists just as the Klingons were of the soviets. Unfortunately modern capitalism has become such a cartoon of insatiable greed, it's become difficult to satirize.

    Eh they didn’t drink jt in a tincture. Its the cremains sold as a collectible.

    Which kinda makes sense. Given their culture.

    I'm relieved to hear that an evolved human future doesn't include conspiracy theorists on the radio shilling life elongation and dick pills

    How do you know they don’t? ST universe was always pretty sterile. It would be like trying to define broader human culture from looking at Sunday school- of course no one is talking about any of that…

    Actually, now that I think about it…. Didn’t Mudd get sent to prison for selling beauty pills?
    Edit:
    And there was the movie with Picard where people were trying to relocate an entire race to harvest rejuvenation stuff

    But my point being, it’s like insisting they didn’t poop in the 23 and 24th century because you never saw them poop. Or assuming that 21st century humans are all a bunch of religious nutters-and well behaved religious nutters- because of what happens in Sunday school. Yes. Sunday school…. Is weird….
