I think it’s safe to say that our culture isn’t going to help us to make changes. Ultimately, our culture doesn’t care about us, only about making money and accumulating power. Instead, it is up to each of us individually to decide that a different road is necessary if we wish to find what we seek.

Culture is a virus with roots in every mind…
Terraforming prospects looked fruitless until the Systemic Terraform Procedure was developed. Rather than expend our resources by shuttling equipment and supplies to other planetary bodies, we crafted spore delivery systems which required a minuscule amount of energy to project into space across every conceivable vector.
The delivery system contained the nanotech devices which, when combined with their power source by the force of impact on a planetary body, composite indigenous materials into heterogeneous Systemic Terraform Operands. With minor intervention from the delivery system’s devices, the Systemic Terraform Operands will interact with the extant environ to extract resources and alter the atmospheric composition of the planetary body.
Systemic Terraform Operands will diversely mutate and compete as they apply Genetic Algorithms to the problems of resource extraction and alteration of atmospheric composition.
Yes, there remains the possibility that Systemic Terraform Operands will eventually develop self-awareness. This potentiality has been addressed by the inclusion of a Uniform Destruct Operator – they will never be like us.
