Never read Ecclesiastes, but I'll admit that modern democracy and capitalism are making more of nihilistic equations on manipulating human thought than ever before and there is probably an end result wall we're running into sooner or later but it's less about a different approach to tyranny and manipulation and more about sophistication.

Nuclear weapons and global warming are certainly new walls to crash into but those are things that aren't inherently emergent from human civilization. They're "holy ****" things we could never have accounted for and are simply incapable of dealing with because human civilization has evolved without them.
