You jest, but there is truth in what you say. In one of the videos, anthropologist discuss how the Stone Age people were not forward thinking enough to manage their environment. They cut down all the trees and their population crashed by about 90%.

Running a business for a thousand years takes talent and intelligence, and that includes the business of managing our global ecosystem.
