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...

Unfortunately I see the opposite, those with short term goals tend to act with disregard of those outside their immediate circle's and of those in power I see a vast majority being on the whole average at best. Hell if a Moron like JWB can be president of the most powerful nation in the world what does that say? Not to mention every moron I know has hoards of offspring they cannot afford and every intelligent family I know has few children. If my albeit small scale observations are a representation of the whole this race is in for a real spiral down. Hell we cannot even get our own planet under control because of lack of foresight and those that rail against it for short term gains. There is even a widely accepted rallying call that no-one seems to understand is a long term death sentence. "Family First", by extrapolation that is translated as Everyone else last.
