The author's argument that we are not at a hinge point because "there are potentially a vast number of people ahead of us, yet to born" is challenged by the doomsday argument which suggests that it is statically most likely that the future population is equivalent to the historic population, and thus, given that the current population is exceptionally high, catastrophic collapse is imminent.
