Yes, but pretty much every other equilibrium based limit is something humans decided we didn't want anymore either.

We are better than other species at filling new niches. But being champion is no excuse for getting cocky.

Our general mode of operation seems to be the very opposite. Getting cocky, causing some very untoward consequences, then learning from them.
I don't even think it is necessarily bad in toto. The other pole could look like stagnation fueled by indecisiveness and fear of possible consequences. I definitely know some individuals who spend their lives like that, and they don't seem to be happy.
