It is us eating our own tail as we often do. I feel like in history because we moved slower in our societal evolution, the creation of new societies and then the subsequent problems unfolded over the course of several generations. People have short memories, even with our written and oral histories, the majority of people are not aware and repeat the same mistakes. The good news is since things move so much faster with the tech, anything we do gets to the problems really quick. The U.S as a global civilization -> weeds took just about 200 years, not 2000 like Rome for example. Now with global internet the blockchain societies like this grow and get into the problems in just 2. Because it is happening at a speed most of us can see, we will FINALLY have a larger portion of humans aware of it, which I believe is how we will finally come to grips and solve it. It won't just be well read philosophers and teachers trying to sway society of an unseen possible problem. That is our only saving grace, as we have seen the teachers/spiritual leaders/philosophers cannot move fast enough to save a majority from themselves. It is why I actually still feel excited about blockchain/decentralization and places like Steemit . There is hope, and I see many people undertaking actions and solutions <3
