Well, the cultists don't seem to be inspiring virtues that would lead to solving the problems but rather the behavior that would secure a future for them and theirs in which they can continue on the same path of consume-consume...
Let's go further and mention some essays of a modern local author called Tellalov who said a civilization with high levels of Greed and Paranoia cannot go about expanding to Space because it requires unity and that cannot be achieved my the methods of the greedy and paranoid. Those will always give birth to more of the same and even a whole world conquered by the same entity would soon be torn apart from the inside by the same drives.

Modern life (I mean the current modern life, not modern stuff in general and not necessarily) is driving us away from cooperation and friendship. Losing this spiritual wealth to gain... some imaginary super status or some such.
