I won't argue against your argument that this recent stage of evolution has had its negative consequences. I fully agree that it has been more negative than positive (at one level of viewing it).

My point is that, for our evolution (as a species), it's likely good that we're going through this phase (one that is likely inevitable and can only be pushed down the road with great efforts to suspend what needs to happen), wherein our DARKSIDE is coming out into the open for us to more consciously explore, but, far more importantly, to overcome (gain control over).

Sometimes we have to go through painful mistakes to grow and while it may take many generations for the majority of people to not be swept away by their "Mr Hyde", I think we will collectively find a way to integrate the two pieces of our psyches (what we , or society, divide and label as "good" and "evil") so that we can operate as psychologically strong human beings, who aren't at the mercy of automated unconscious desires.

You have to realize that things usually have to get worse before they can get better, especially when it comes to psychological growth. This is true for us at the individual level and it's compounded many times over when whole societies are involved. Let's not fool ourselves into thinking that the 1950s were some kind of "golden age" that can never be surpassed by humanity. Things can get much better than they've ever been for humanity and its systems of society, but it's going to require some growing pains and a whole lot of looking at ourselves in the mirror and we're going to be left with no choice but to invite the venom in our eyes to that self-reflection if we're going to have any chance of peaking as a species, which is our only hope at a true golden age for humanity.
