This is just a pet theory of mine, but I think in some ways the short individual lifespans may ultimately have the result of pushing human society as a whole towards higher-level thinking. Especially since the birth of the Internet, which has made manifest so many of the things that both channeled sources and the great human philosophers have been trying to say for so many years.
There are now more people alive -especially among the youth- who truly grok interconnectivity because they live it. They see ever-fewer distinctions between different groups of humans, and are coming to understand that all people really ARE pretty fundamentally equal. Even if, for example, an American youth disapproves of things done by the Russian or Iranian governments, they don't hold those things against the citizens of those countries nearly so much.
(How could they, when they're probably playing COD or Eve Online or GTA or whatever with kids from those very same countries?)
People - I think - are starting to externalize the higher realities, specifically because it makes it easier for humans and their short lifespans to comprehend. We're making manifest high-level systems through scale models of their behaviors. In many ways, the Internet as a whole and especially specific sub-groups are coming to function as S-M-Cs. Consider the Reddit "Hivemind" which is often quite effective at legal\political movements when it sees need.
And as our technology expands to increasingly imitate higher-dimensional forms, it creates an environment (I hope) where "childish" humans are simply immersed in an experience that allows them to perceive those forms for themselves, thus shortening the timespan traditionally needed to gain understanding of some of these matters.
(Obviously, this isn't a perfect situation, but it seems like as good an alternative as we can get while under the Veil.)
