I strongly suspect that Scott is trying to decipher a moral of the story, while missing the fact that Don’t Look Up is less of a parable and more of a tragedy.

There is nothing to take away here. The point is the Molochian systems at play are driven by maligned incentives, and therefore doomed to apocalyptic failure. You and I; we are fucked. Scott is trying to glean epistemical meaning from this work, and it’s like trying to blood-let a stone.
