Simple answer: Humans en-masse don't ever change their nature unless external forces make it necessariy. The only thing that has done so is tecnological advances, but even that is limited. Humans will only change if technological advances change who can breed successfully or if the advance persists over many generations to maintain new behavior.
Anyone who tries to drive change in the world comes face to face with the difficulty of convincing others of things and, if they are paying attention, that people only change in response to their social environment (tribalism). We can see this now as Bitcoin is suddenly going to become something good to even the normies as the ETFs and elites suddenly start saying good things about it.

It is what it is. Humans evolved in tribes and thus they have high tribal instincts. Characteristic of that tribal nature is that tribes that changed too rapidly died and tribes that changed too slowly also died. The correct balance thrived, but it is on the side of very slow change.
This is what made the current humans exist. Otherwise, we'd be something different. So, as it is, if we want humanity to change there's only two things that will do it. Either what succeeds in breeding changes or technological changes in the environment push certain behaviors. Only the first creates innate change. The second lasts as long as it causes changes in the first.
