If they have infinite food and the holodeck why the fuck does anyone work for the federation at all instead of sitting in their rooms jacking off?
Dole scum like you were purged a long time ago. Also, people don't have holodecks at home.

There's no reason to work for no reward

People unwilling to work don't get to explore the universe in luxury unless they can marry someone who is and has the right to bring their family with them on the trip.
Humanity's whole thing is that we're natural explorers

For one thing, replicators and the holodeck are not unlimited. They do use up a fair bit of energy. The holodeck on the Enterprise-D wasn't even used by civilians for personal use. They spent more time on the unseen recreation decks.
My guess is most people are indoctrinated to the whole "self-improvement" thing as well as not being materialists or consumers.

Except they found older humanoid bones in Europe. Also, many of the remains in Africa are questionable as to them being from hominid ancestors and not just lesser apes. This isnt even getting into if modern Africans and Europeans are the same species breed (theyre not).

Sure thing budbud.
There most likely are trillions of people practically swimming in their own semen in holodeck rape simulators. The people who are in Starfleet are the few people who actually want to do something with their lives by making the galaxy better or being the ones to discover new shit.
