I agree that spirituality is a part of it, because the people in power are so vociferously anti Christian and increasingly becoming more open about being satanic, but I think constant failure at step 5, society wide, is due to people being brainwashed by most of society's institutions, preventing them from being able to properly identify the problem(s), and proposing solutions that work. It's also because the mainstream parties, politically and culturally, are largely captured and corrupt, a false choice trap, where they constantly misdefine problems and enact solutions that will never work, giving people the illusion of choice and resistance.
