A fair correction. I was only aware of the essay; I tend to avoid watching videos whenever possible.
Notably, most of the other ideas in that video are also improbable: drone-delivery is not as easy as it sounds; multilateralism is hard; organ printing is extremely unlikely (growing in a vat has been pursued for decades but is still nascent); the displacement of the whole population of Africa seems more than a little hyperbolic; the widespread implementation of carbon taxes doesn't feel any closer (sadly); we are nowhere near sending humans to Mars or supporting long-term space residents; meat alternatives have yet to reach market acceptance (or meat-equivalent RPER). But one part is true: Western governments are feeling quite unstable lately.
