I am not sure if this is in line with Agile principles like YAGNI.

I'm not sure leading humanity should be done according to agile methodology ;)

It's hard to estimate how long it takes for another humanity to develop if we screw it(so we don't know iteration length), and there is the problem of telling them what we did wrong after we were destroyed.
