I guess the elephant in the room that the article ironically illustrate is that "we have no idea what's coming next". The article reads a bit like "You are suffering from a well know incurable illness, you are going to die very soon. By don't despair, think all the things you will be able to do if a cure is found! Even better, some people are even looking for one!" But that's not the real problem. Humanity is very bad at transitioning, it mostly still works in the natural fashion: keep the survivors if any. That's the real fear, not where we are going, but how we are going to get there without war, massive death toll, ... Before capitalism is abandoned, we need Capitalism 1.1, 1.2 then 1.3 and we need it before wrecking Earth completely or before the growth engine is completely broken whichever come first.
