With that attitude you would need to condemn democracy as it is a 2500 year old system that we championt to run our modern political agenda.

Maybe we would not be in this mess in the first place if we sustained insights of the past.

While conveniently ignoring the messes of the past.

When this system was made 2500 years ago it worked, because it was new and adapted to the conditions then. Then guess what, the world changed and those systems stopped working because the assumptions they are built on no longer exist.

If you brought a lifeform from 2500 years ago to the world today it would get sick and die. It's defense system would not be adapted to the threats it would experience. Yet this is the first thing people try to do with the complex systems we create and they will suffer the same fate.
