foresight, sorely missed

I'll be the first to admit it, I am not blessed with foresight ( hence publishing this post without first editing it ) and it has always been one of those traits that I wish I had ( my hindsight is 20:20 by the way)
Lately I've began wondering weather foresight is overrated? I am not trying to say that it's a bad thing more like that without some sort of guarantee that a venture has a positive outcome, we are unlikely to embark upon it and in that we may be missing the chance to discover something new or changing the way something is done fundamentally.
Watching todays news programs ( and reading the papers, blogs and listening to the radio broadcasts and podcasts ) It has become clear that a new breed of thinker and a new way of thinking are needed to help us get up out of the current quagmire that we have gotten ourselves into as a species.
This new ways of thinking will never be achieved if we continue insisting on every venture that we embark upon having a guaranteed pleasant ending.
