That's why we shouldn't optimize everything, the longer I live the more I understand that overoptimization is the root of all evil. We should analyse what we are doing and how we are changing things in the long term, monitor the situation and adjust accordingly. Otherwise our systems will find a local optimum that benefit the most powerful groups. Happens in all aspects of life, modern capitalism being the prime example.
