I kind of think there's something in DNA that "switches on" in individuals whenever a society reaches a certain point.
What this mechanism is, or how it works is unknown, but the evolutionary context is simple:
>this is a time of abundance and we no longer have to worry about survival
>let's instead concentrate shoving things up our ass (or the asses of others) for fun
It's a sort of built in population control.
