I think the survival bias will filter out unsustainable ideas. So this is not what will be remembered, when they look back at us. At least that is what I hope for in my jolly days.

I often think about this. How will we look back on the first half of the 20th century? Who will be historically relevant? Who will be forgotten? Interesting thought experiment
