>>99370651Eh, why would he? He built them, he gets to regulate them. Those sci-fi Utopias are nice and all, but they'll never come to pass. Your only viable solution is to destroy everything, unify the world, create a single race/country/ethnicity/whatever by putting everything into the melting pot, and then governing that. Something that will eventually evolve into something entirely different. Basically what Luthor and Doom are trying to do. Stark is in opposition of that, because while a self-proclaimed futurist, he's rather old fashioned. He's a contradiction,in that he wants to advance, but based on the already established status quo. Which is why he's always making shady decisions.
And beyond that, if everyone is special, then nobody is. Even if he somehow managed to release Extremis and turn everyone into a perfect being, removing social classes, even if he found a way for clean energy, all those sci-fi concepts relating to utopias, eventually some problem would arise. You can never achieve perfection, much less force it to.
In the end, he's the guy who puts values in things such as countries, rights, borders, laws, all that. And he's the one guy who knows that if you hand someone the solution on a silver platter, you're not creating a better person, but a lazy bastard. Advancement has to be earned, through trials and tribulations, not imposed upon. He's a hypocrite at times and does shady shit, but eh, life's rather complex.
