From the title of the article, "Billionaire capitalists are designing humanity's future. Don't let them", I was expecting a piece covering the World Economic Forum, which could be characterized as the left-leaning counterpart to the likes of Bezos, Musk, and would-be ocean colonizers.
... the difference being that the WEF wants to force everyone into a particular mould, not unlike 20th century socialist visions for a "better society". We all know how that worked out...
But from an economic standpoint, I don't mind crazy, unrealistic visions for colonizing oceans and planets. At least such dreams give billionaires something to spend money on, which translates into more jobs and more families fed, not to mention the scientific and engineering advances that are funded along the way.
