Nah, humanity hasn't failed. But we are in the midst of huge change and transition, which always comes with uncertainty, and degrees of anxiety and/or fear. Our Technology and Information Age moves at light-speed, while our minds operate much slower.

But I do think Water is quickly becoming our most important resource, commodity, and even risk (in weather and climate). Too much in some places, not enough in others, and people competing for ways to move or use it, own it, or fighting over it....
