Civilization has always seemed to take a step forward, when a great leader comes along and puts people to work building something which captures the imagination and enthusiasm of the people e.g. the pyramids, Kennedy's effort to land on the moon, etc.
However, I agree it'll probably take some calamity, before someone can make that happen. And I think those of us who are capable of supporting such a feat, are just too comfortable at present.
