It's interesting that it's easy to spot nonsense by how it's written before you get to something that's wrong.

Rich/knowledgeable people can benefit from fission but poorer people are still dependant on simpler resources such as rain fall and fertile soil. We're he correct, we wouldn't see increased poverty right now. But we do. Knowledge itself is not equally distributed, just as resources aren't. Be good if countries relied on their own resources, protected shared resources, and shared knowledge. It's impirically incorrect to presume that some people having knowledge of how to effectively use resources is sufficient to end poverty for others.

People are still looking after themselves at the expense of shared (or imported) resources.

We see basic resources depleted.

We are in a boom of misinformation vs knowledge expansion.

It's odd that people think "we understand/we have the knowledge" when they themselves don't.
