I don’t need a change in perspective. I need original research (or a summary thereof) on the implementation of universal basic income, controlled deflation of the housing and education loan bubbles, redistribution of resources (money, income, “wealth”, land, power), and a one hundred year plan to deal with the loss of NYC and London to the oceans. Something a little more substantial.

I don't think it's a problem. It's another symptom of the min/maxing culture this article is taking aim at. There's a culture shift that's taken place in the last few years which says no one's allowed to complain unless they have a better solution. Seen it rearing it's head more recently in very rigid ways. From my observations, it kills creativity in it's tracks and instead of making everyone carefully consider what they complain about and solve problems better, it quashes anyone's ambition to say anything for fear of becoming a target. I've seen the targeting happen in such childish ways too. "If YOU think it's so shit, then YOU fix it."
