that it takes this form is a consequence of where they're starting from and the realisation that interconnectedness/globalism/etc. tends to be accompanied by a total loss of social, economic and political agency - with predictable consequences.
Ultimately I'd expect mechanisation to deal with the first issue, which if we win leads to a place of ease and plenty. And if we lose - our betters historically tend to have very little tolerance for the survival let alone the flourishing of the economically unproductive.
