Kinda like "It can't be saved" so scrap the lot and start again with eternal/transcendent principles when the dust of destruction has settled.

At least one would hope so. I see/like what they named the generation after the soft boned Zoomers; Generation Alpha. The science exists but is currently ridiculed. In Pandora's Box the last thing left was hope. So hope it is, while all the evils are unleashed...
