Come now, such pessimism won't do, besides it is b.s.
People become so dominant species because they
are very good at observing, realising patterns, planning
and acting on reality.  The tendency is to do it 
in a more and more integrated (cooperative)
way. As soon as social organisation and aims
become part of this conscious pattern, there
is a chance of seeing the future as reality,
and then no comforters/substitutes will be necessary.
