the only real tragedy is humans realizing they cant beat mother nature. no religion is powerful enough. perfect example is air conditioning. modern subdivisions give zero thought into alignment of buildings to the path of sun... a/c can defeat the sun, false. same with building in areas that are prone to flooding (streams/rivers/ocean). just dont be a dumbass and build in a bad place. vitruvius wrote a codec on civil engineering. in that codex is a house plan based on the suns path.
