well harsh conditions breed ingenuity so it's probably a good offshoot and backup plan for human civilization. Outside of anthropogenic climate change we know earth and humans can suffer catastrophes and extinction events from many other sources, so it's very wise to have redundancy. I think your comment also brings up the "weak men create hard times" quote; part of the reason why many in the developed world seem to be floundering is probably due to our unprecendented safety and comfort

"I think your comment also brings up the "weak men create hard times" quote;" This is a very silly quote that has been produced by a writer, there is no evidence for it and it was debunked hundreds of times. No self-respecting social scientist, economist or learned man of any kind would repeat it while sober. https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/05/02/hard-times-dont-make-strong-soldiers-warrior-myth/ https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/05/02/hard-times-dont-make-st...
