Indeed, in Star Trek humans “grew out of our infancy” by having WW3 and the eugenics wars, then by one genius creating a propulsion technology just to get rich, which luckily drew the attention of coincidentally passing benevolent space aliens.

It was all carnage + greed + razor-thin luck. None of it was intentional growth.

Not to mention that we seem to be in the Mirror Universe (including the popularity of goatees)...

You're right, looks like it's only Mirror Spock in TOS.

(I guess I was confused by the "Mirror Universe" South Park tribute, where everyone has goatees, including the polite and generous Mirror Cartman...)
