Yes totoneila, people in the wealthy countries are completely alienated by all the comforts of modern day oil driven life.

Inebriated by all that comfort and easy living, they lost contact with the physical realities of the environment where they live. The more they break the physical constraints around them the harder it gets to see the consequences.  

They don't know it, but they are On The Edge of Time.
