Im not sure what you mean by people with long term interest are swept aside by emotional appeal. If you implying that the person who markets themself better is more powerful, then yes that is true. Solid marketing in a career ment to sell a person to the masses will usually win. As for long term interest, that truly is up for debate. Some people envision a post scarcity world and want to live it out today. Some believe all groups can live harmoniously togethor. Some people think about progress at any cost. Others relate good behaviour and bad behaviour to demographics. All of these have extremes, upsides and downsides. All have the future and present in mind. Which one is right? Nobody has come up with a discrete plan or vision. We are all so early in evolution, monkeys with really really fancy toys
