Taking just a step back and looking at our societies, I can't help but agree with this viewpoint.

Our psychic and material conditions are poised to get worse as we rapaciously exploit the natural resources of the planet and destroy the fabric of life across it (not just the casual culprits like extinction, but the general accruing debt of pollution and degradation across the biosphere). Further,our global civilization and the supply lines that enable it (gas, water + sewage, electricity, connectivity) exist in an equilibrium we're actively disrupting.

Another thing to consider is that our biology has adapted for a vastly different experience of environment and society than those we inhabit.

The patterns of human civilization need to change drastically for it to be extant and thriving in 100 years.
