It's too challenging and bleak. Beneath the light tone, it mercilessly drives home the truth that all of modern society exists in a temporary historical juncture that is not stable over a timespan of mere centuries. Instead of the smoothly increasing "better everything" over time that was practically a secular religion in the latter half of the 20th, we're told that things will change drastically in the not that distant future, and not in the manner we've believed.

How about saving the existential dread for your therapist? Let economists focus on economics.

Economics are driven by people. People have emotions. Failure to grasp this leads to disaster.
