Plenty of crazy things going on in the world. Bush this, Bush that, nutty Iranian presidents, suicide bombers, bulldozers, torture, civilization, progress, governments, corporations, international institutions, poor, rich, clocks, globalization, cubicles, laws, constitutions, war, smart weapons, military dictators who took over in a coup, KGB agent as president, UN sanctions, riots in Europe, cheap labor, 6.5 billion people and growing, energy issues, religion exploding, poisoning our own life support systems, sprawl, industrial cities falling apart, climate change, slavery, children making everything we throw away, propaganda, RFID chips, smaller and smaller technology, TIA, NSA, biological and chemical weapons, everyone having nuclear weapons(because you know that if only one group had it, human beings would be insane enough to use them...oh wait), a giant continent dying, colonialism, murdering indigenous people around the world for freedom and riches, killing different species for our standard of living, etc, etc.
Sure, I focused on some of the bad stuff. If you want to focus on the good stuff, go right ahead. Or take the two, and combine them.
Just as of March 23, 2006(whatever time is, if it's only centered around our position relative to our star), is all this crazy crap worth it? And where are we going with it? Everyone living in luxury? Robots doing everything, so that humans can dream of the stars? A global cubicle where we're all interchangable parts and lost our humanity?
