I agree with your basic point. But I'd make the distinction that we're talking about modern culture as opposed to "humanity". Plenty of human cultures have achieved a state of equilibrium (or a 'steady state').

The fact that modern "western" civilisation (however we choose to define that concept) has become almost globalised does indeed blur the distinction, so in that sense you're pretty accurate. At the same time though, this psychosis we're talking about is a function of our culture rather than our species. Leastways that's how I read it.
