the only way i can see anything changing for the future would be if Avienda could be present at the time the pact is entered. Could the timing work? She is the only person who would put two and two together and maybe help avoid this bleak future.
If DomA is right and the future Avi saw was pre VoG, when Rand was the Dark Rand, then it's possible that new Rand, the Light Rand, could pass alone some Light genes to his Aiel kids. After all, his kids were the ones that started all this dark future in the first place.
Avienda's viewing and the Fields of Merrilor (spoilers)

Why do you have this urge to overcomplicate something as simple as personal likes and dislikes?

The Aiel sold slaves to Shara, does that make them evil? No society in Randland is without flaws.
