You'll get more out of the article if you read it as more of a philosophical exploration than a literal policy proposal. You can share similar values without reaching the same conclusion.

These philosophical explorations have a really nasty pattern of being picked up as the policy platform of political strongmen riding a wave of discontentment to power. Then the philosophical exploration becomes poorly-implemented policy.
Maybe future historians will appreciate your explanation of something that everyone today knows. Nobody is stopping you from talking about what you value and how to incorporate those values into policy design. Other people are participating in public discourse the way they want. If you don't participate the way you want, that's on you.
