SV is a bubble and it will be defended by those who benefit from that status quo for quite a while still.
I do agree with the article decrying humanity's chronic inability to act on preventable crises. But it seems (a) most of humanity is much more inert and passive than we are inclined to think and (b) the vested interests and/or the powers-that-be are really that powerful so as to prevent the action of everybody else.
At the same time the article is overly optimistic: it claims that the consumer internet and social media are coming to an end.
