I don't think that's true.

I think they know the future is bleak, and they just want to have the best bio dome or whatever the case may be.

As in, they know they're making things worse, but if they don't do it someone else will. So in a bleak and shit future, do you want to live like a king, or choke to death like the rest of us.
