I don't know if it's the way you meant it, but "getting control" has been a problem for the western world for a long time ... in a larger sense I mean. First, traveling abroad to meet interesting new people ... and killing them. Next, we had to conquer the seas, then classical laws of physics, then space. The only difference now is that, with advances in neurology, psychiatry and microbiology, were turning our desire for control inward. My worries are that the results will probably be just as hideous.
