I think you have the time of change right but you are giving Timothy Leary way too much credit.
I'd look to LBJ and his "New Society" The theory behind it is well intended but the bureaucracy that was created is an unwieldy and expensive method of neighbors helping neighbors thru bureaucrats.

The creation and advancement of MBA programs where instead of working their way from the mailroom to the boardroom we created relatively instant wizards who placed no value on employees only on numbers, Great at short term solutions that we (the middle class) are now paying the price for.
Ya know I try and stay out of this forum

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
