"It's fair to say that 80 percent of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go,"

Let go of ... meaningful existence?

Who could object to that.

Few are engaged in anything meaningful for the future of the species

And if you are going to argue "well for them their lives are still meaningful"

So it is for the youth they exploit and expropriate to prop up their wealth

They can go build bird houses and fly kites. The whole "line go up thing" is just a hallucinated meaningful effort
