And how well have humans done in the past when it comes to looking things in the long run? I'm not really big on history, but the fact alone that people who usually make decisions are just individuals looking to cover their own asses rather than to work together towards a better future.

We are short sighted morons for the most part, which is ironic in the sense considering how intelligent we are, but we often lack the wisdom to correctly use said intelligence.
