It tells us to look beyond the immediate problems and turmoil and setbacks of the present month or year or even decade, and think in multi-generational terms about where humanity as a whole is heading.
how is this bad? As in anything, he/she who fails to plan for the future risks dooming his/her descendants in the future. I'm not saying we have anything like a crystal ball, but certainly many trends are obvious. Once again, I ask you, why is this a bad thing? And, as a corollary, what do you suggest the approach should be?
