So, what happened? What woke us up?
I think we are still militaristic and somewhat barbaric. As long as people are still willing to kill and hurt others out of greed, revenge, or simply out of anger then we are still barbarians and militaristic. Enlightenment may come to some but humans as a whole will probably never get there.(pride won't let them.)
