On: Why civilization is in decline – and what can turn it around

I agree. My complaint was that the title is clickbait. It promises a solution ("and what can turn it around"), which the content doesn't deliver.

That's a gripe with the CBC / Ideas, not Potter.

Listening to the full interview (the webpage text is a very condensed version) makes quite clear that Potter himself really doesn't have any facile answers. Or possibly any at all.
