Climbing the Kardashev scale is the only interesting problem right now, and making that contingent on everyone stopping and listening to political "system theorists" as a substitute for human desire is nonsense.

TL;DR Total human emancipation is only possible if all humans submit to our omnipotent system. I'm so tired of these people. It's like selling frameworks and management systems where all you have to do is suspend your disbelief, internalize the system of the ideology, and it promises everything. Harari at the WEF is the same kind of misleading doomer. To me these people are just itinerant mesmerists.

Any plan, future, or technology that requires accepting the counterfactual where there is no alternative to it is necessarily both wrong and misleading. It begins with a finite, materialistic, zero-sum ontology, and ends with a power struggle over only symbolically scarce resources.

I'm glad their ideas are part of the discourse because they need sunlight, as this thinking is what is behind a lot of oppressive government policy and it's important to understand it imo.
