This article didn’t provide evidence that it is possible, it just defined the intended approach.
I agree that the analogy with the plants or the forests is not trivial.However, even though civilization is short lived, human communities did evolve for much longer.
Also, large scale systems like the market seem very robust (it survived wars, as well as environmental and technological perturbations). So the idea here is conditional:
If we did find a root cause for moloch dynamics and catastrophic failures, then adressing it MIGHT allow society to solve problems by itself.
Think of it like a wild bet we should at least put some chips in. I’ll write more on this soon.
