Capitalism could be worse than some alternative due to factory farming, climate change or various other global catastrophic risks, although we really need to consider specific alternatives. So far, I think itâs pretty clear that what weâve been doing has been unsustainable, but that doesnât mean replacing capitalism is better than reforming or regulating it, and technology does often address problems.

I donât understand this claim/âintuitively disagree with it as presented but donât think I understand what you mean well enough to be sure I actually disagree.

I have in mind climate change and land use. If we kept consuming at current rates, wouldnât we likely end up with catastrophic climate change?
If you include consumption trends, things look even worse, but we also have clean tech and government policy coming.
