I agree it is very good, but definitely Doomer 101. That said, there was enough deep thought about what complexity is and such to make it a good video for the seasoned doomer as well as the newbie. You correctly point out that Luke Kemp avoided all unpleasantness of coming pain and death. But his meal ticket says he must, so who are we to say. You do not get a PHD for free. There is a social price. He gets air time. We do not.
Complexity produces local resilience but overall weakness results when things go south. Extreme inequality drives collapse as power becomes ever more centralized and unstable, and more prone to bad decisions. That is takeaway enough for that much time. Two paws up!
