Is saving the world now a non-issue?

What might have baffled us once, the question of "saving the world," is now a non-issue; we know that we care only about people of selected qualities, namely matched intelligence, strength and character of the highest order. And with that, we do what writers do: appeal to those who aren't yet destroyed to wait out the end of humanity, and to rebuild in the ashes, if that's possible. Otherwise, we'd just be prophets of a fearful end. I think this is very deep.
