You say this in a manner like you're ripping off a bandaid. Meanwhile we have no idea if this is tourniquet that if moved incorrectly will cause us to bleed to death.

At the start of the 20th century there was massive technological change, and this growth of technology lead to two world wars. The big issue is humanity may not be able to survive any further wars along those lines. By the end of the war we created civilization ending weapons. Our capability for destruction has only grown since then. Attempting to move to a new economic paradigm without having war starting authoritarian fascist leaders destroy the world is, I feel, going to be a very difficult task to achieve.
