“This is actually a very important principle that science is learning about large systems like evolution and that futurists are learning about anticipating human society: just because a future scenario is plausible doesn't mean we can get there from here.”

Organisms by their design are not made to adapt too far.
The way that organizations and organisms anticipate the future is by taking signals from the past, most the time.
Species go extinct because there are historical contraints built into a given body or a given design.
An organization's reason for being, like that of any organism, is to help the parts that are in relationship to each other, to be able to deal with change in the environment.
