Blah. I don't know if he's necessarily wrong, but the writing is both insipid and pretentious. Very philosophy-undergrad. I mean look; given enough time any species of life goes extinct, we're not going to be any exception. I think most people massively underestimate the threat of nuclear war, the threat of war in general, and the amount of damage we're doing to the planet's life support systems. However- if we're able to at least accept that we can't keep growing the economy exponentially forever- we do have access to a fusion power generator outputting 384.6 yottawatts of power. I'm not saying we're safe from near term human extinction but it's by no means certain. Far term, of course, as I said, every species goes extinct. Basically I've done enough research that I know this fear is well founded but not for the reasons presented in this paper. A much better and more specific argument could be made.
