I used to think a major global catastrophe will fix the system, like world war, or a hostile alien invasion. Then covid happened and we're back to square one in the aftermath, if not worse. I realised there's no fixing it. In my opinion, it's not that we aren't there yet, it's that we will never be 'there'. Having said that, when I say never I speak about our lives or that of our grandchildren, perhaps a few more generations. If humanity survives a few more centuries after that, if not millenia, who knows what could happen.
