Is there really a difference?
I mean there was that time were Vulcan Hermione raised her tricorder and shouted, "Gravitonis deflectorum!"

Yes. I most certainly would.
The thread's title is an interesting question, and one I have thought about more than once over the last 26 years (when I was introduced to ST via TV).
The last couple of years my life has been on a slowly declining track, much of this caused by things I 've had little control or influence over. My circle of friends has never been the biggest or easiest to begin with, in the last three years even has become rather non-existent expect for 2 persons. People got married and became parents, hence suffer from chronic sleep depravation and just basically vanish. I've never really believed stuff like this would be possible, but then it just happens. Not overnight, mind you, but a three year process where more and more conversations on phone or in real life become nearly monologues.
My parents are divorced now and focus on working insane hours to make ends meet, my brother has become a grumpy workaholic... basically I lost touch with my 'family', because everyones life developed in a different direction, we see each other maybe three, four times a year.
I quit my last job (sales) back in January and actually don't feel like I have a, well, a real life purpose (as opposed to a job I do just to earn money) here on this shitty rock, where people bang in their heads over money, possessions, power and because they have different opinions over made up religious BS. Nearly everything in western societies is about *want-want-want* and superficial nonsense, it's just sick! And sad.
I do have a lot of leisure time at the moment since I don’t work a full-time job until August, so I read a lot, also about what's going on in the world and what it's long term implications might be (I'm from Germany and there's a lot going on here right now...). I've basically lost faith in humanity and don’t believe in happy endings anymore. :-(
So yeah, I 'd prefer living in the ST -universe. In a place and society that warrants optimism and would remind me that life used to be fun.
(I apologize for all the cynicism... had a bad day and just needed to write sth off my chest)

Yeah but we're in the MU.
If we were in the Star Trek universe in our time it would be depressing. Consider all the things that would happen in our lifetime.
In the next few years, Trump will introduce sanctuary districts.
We will realize based on these sanctuary districts we've gone too far and we need to take care of the poor.
But, a few decades after that, world war III will break out, the military will be controlled with drugs, and most of us and most of our children will die in nuclear war.
Only then, will things get better.

Welcome to the game of life :
And on what basis does Kim Kardashian not "deserve" her wealth other than your contempt for her?

You're replying to someone who's not on the board anymore.
One of the reasons not to bump old threads.
Despite what some people think, I feel that the world is far more good than bad.
My take from the episode is that the sanctuary districts will be creations of individual city governments, and will not come from the federal level.
So, Mayor Ed Lee, and not President Trump.
Kim Kardashian is a successful entertainer and a smart business woman, her personal wealth is reflection of this.
Perhaps some people's contempt for her ichab is based upon envy?

Most likely. She also has a confidence about her that tends to put off people of that mentality.
I'm not a fan of her show by any means, but I won't begrudge her success.
