According to A Century of the Self current Western society is engineered for something like WWII never to happen again.

In philosophy post-structuralism followed. It does hinder a single narrative from dominating but it also hinders people from finding meaning in work.

Hopefully mankind's next philosophy does not include war.

Could you explain more about how society is engineered to not let WWII happen?

Well, we thought we had that. Then came Putin, who wants to go back to the 19th century.

You can find A Century of the Self online for streaming. It's long but it gets to the point quickly.
