I'm a human and I'm part of humanity, but I'm under no obligation to take orders from it, or operate with it as part of a forced consensus. What you seem to be arguing for is a complete tyranny of human creativity and experimentation to be lorded over by economists and lawyers.

We're doing it because it's cool and we might learn something. If that's not good enough, then I'm not sure what type of world you'd actually like to live in.
