While a good set up the conclusion isn't really supported by the arguments. Just increasingly bizzare assertions that complexity is somehow a trap while conflating it with energy usage (nevermind that said complexity is often used to reduce usage of energy). It seems to be one of its own tiresome arrogant meme "the world is too complex for me personally to understand so we should make things worse so I feel better!".

Understanding is being able to predict. Predicting with sufficient accuracy is a prerequisite when it comes to rule. It becomes more and more difficult to show that some group is able to do so. Therefore, bar any "some can but are all evil-minded", stating that we less and less can understand seems to be a solid case. The next question is "why?", and a potential answer seems "because everything is already too big and growing: more and more agents interact more and more frequently".
