Do you include in the scope of that ‘fix’ dealing with problems associated with population, promotion, ambition, recidivist criminals who (after serving a few terms in jail) have time to learn to be good at crime, etc?
How does that differ from saying “Given unlimited time to fix all social problems, society will eventually become a paradise” or “The root problem with current society is that we have not yet had sufficient time to fix all the other problems with it”? Couldn’t the same be said about any imperfect society? I don’t see how it is praise for the state of our current society versus previous societies.

We would, as they say, have as long as we liked to sort out those sorts of issues.
