The post starts good but wanders into some questionable deductions. It makes sense that the guy's a fiction writer as I guess that's what you do in fiction - start from where we are and then let your imagination come up with things.

The first point he loses me a little is mid paragraph four:

>and the insecurity-induced radicalization—is due to an unprecedented civilizational energy transition

I buy insecurity but most of it seems due to globalization, concentration of money in the 1% and big tech. Like in America a lot of blue collar workers got laid off and short of money when the production moved to China and aren't going to get jobs at Google. But none of that is due to an 'energy transition'. I put that in quotes as the world is using more fossil fuel than ever but adding on some solar too.
