First off, it kills me to see the word "evolution" massacred as much as it is here, but putting that aside...
People who are arguing biological vs societal/technological evolution are making a moot point. It is obvious at this stage of humanity that our biological evolution will progress as fast as our technology, since we are eventually going to engineer ourselves to be whatever we want to be, the constraint on that being our technology (how good we are at engineering ourselves).
The idea of a society being "perfect", on an absolute basis, is rediculous to me on a realistic and conceptual basis. Perfection is subjective, and therefore cannot be "attained" but merely observed to be such. The only way you're getting out of this is by the argument of "accepted reality" - that if the overwhelming majority believe something, it becomes true. And even then, it's not going to happen. People will always want to be/do/have more, and that will eventually come to a halt because we won't have enough resources and our universe is finite.
