I don't always understand these sorts of treatises, especially when they deal with cultural and sociological aspects of our world at an abstract or philosophical level, but I'm glad they exist. When they are genuinely intellectually motivated but not constrained by ideology they can be at least provocative enough to help us reflect on our own assumptions and biases, even if we ultimately reject the thesis.
