Not necessarily. We were pretty close to bombing all of humanity off the face of the planet, a few decades ago.
But in general, yeah. It's more like, there are levels of consciousness, and the higher up you go the more you understand. Each individual human being is a representative of human consciousness, and thus has the potential to embody all of that consciousness.
On the societal level, yes it's a slow crawl, but on the individual level, it's possible to become enlightened and understand all of Truth (as is possible in this physical domain).
