Is there any evidence that any of those disasters are likely enough to sacrifice our other goals for? We've recently had mass political instability, yet WWII was actually followed by a boost of industry rather than a collapse and the cold war was followed by people carrying on perfectly fine but with space travel and satellite communications. Just because people don't cooperate to do the thing that you personally want them to do doesn't make them selfish. They are still cooperating doing something else which may turn out to be even more valuable - improving technology and helping each other with real, and possibly even more serious problems like disease and happiness. You can't judge that that they're working towards the wrong goal, it's just different to your personal goal.
