I didn't think this was addressable in any situation. It's easily seen on polo and in general in everyday life. Shortsightedness and personal greed is a disease that should have been bred out of the human race. And if it does not become a thing of the past we will join the dinosaurs.



There hasn't been much pruning on the human tree for a few hundred years.  Like any exponential growth, however, global population is setting up for a hell of a crash.  Just look at the charts  Tongue  Presumably those with foresight will overall fare better than those without, which might take us one step closer to your goal.  I could also argue that greed is (or is a result of) foresight, to some degree...
