We been growin' large n's for a few generations, it's just necessary to pick the fruit.

OTOH, there's no evidence possible that we are the crown of creation, and haven't overshot our niche grandly, and terminally.

Why, it could even be possible that the event of comprehension of our own doom, through intelligence, is the necessary and sufficient perquisite of doom in a species sense. See Boskops. Maybe they spent all their lives essentially waiting for Godot.

Intelligence may require religion and its end games.

Align culture with our nature. Ot else!
