IMHO, we (the west), are on the downward slope that many historical civilisations have gone through. It happened to the Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, Aztecs, Incas, Ottomans etc. You get a period of growth and scientific achievement, followed by a painful slow fall into decidence and decay.
Note - The same cannot be said for all of the civilations (how they ended), but all civilisations do follow a roughly similar cycle of growth-stagnation-decay.
