This is entirely a straw man argument here. The issue always has been and remains the ideological, economic and political control over society by an oligarchic elite, whether it be the pater familias of the Roman Empire's pantheon or the families behind today's City of London/Wall Street criminals and their infotainment media bread and circuses. (See the disgusting spectacle of servile slavering in the media over the royal baby, for example.)This is precisely why the revival FDR's principled return to what Henry Carey described as the American system (see Alexander Hamilton's successful National Bank in paying off the war debt and Lincoln's greenback infrastructure development)as opposed to the British Empire's evil looting system is overdue. This means first and foremost allowing an orderly bankruptcy of the lunatic derivative speculators by reinstating Glass-Steagall. Next it means international cooperation in generating credit for building vast new systems of transport, water and power infrastructure in order to uplift the worldwide standard of living. Thus ending the evil geopolitical nightmare of unending proxy wars immediately initiated under the rubric of cold war by that talentless toady of the City of London and Wall Street, Harry Truman upon the death of FDR. ((Which reportedly Oliver Stone is about to blow apart the fawning mythology of give 'em hell (as in the unnecessary atomic bombs he dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on orders from the lunatic geopoliticians like the Dulleses) Harry.))
Anything which doesn't address this reality is just so much blowing smoke.
Eratosthenes first measured the circumference of the earth from the shadows cast by the sun. Today, humanity's fitness to survive will be measured by our ability to conquer that same thermonuclear fusion that casts those shadows. Thus, Prometheus will truly be unbound.

Raphael's "Secrets" Revealed
This painting, like many of Rembrandt's, for example, is a Socratic dialogue. While Aristotelians and Romantics profess that music derives from titillation of the senses, Raphael like the Augustinans in the orbit of Nicholas of Cusa rightly understood that truly human music is the essence of an unheard dialogue of ongoing and continuous loving composition of unfolding potential harmonic Creation. So, like Poe's purloined letter, the secret of this drama is hidden in plain sight, but too many have eyes but cannot see.

Why "Experts" are Mostly Fools: A Case Study
So much empty prattle here that completely avoids the issue of thermonuclear fusion. The federal reserve is currently expending 85 billion dollars per month to bail out downright criminal speculators on Wall Street. What do you think would happen if that was the budget for fusion research? We would not be engaged in this endless ludicrous bloviating over "renewable energy" because we would have a virtually inexhaustible supply not only of electrical power but also high temperature plasma technologies which would have revolutionized the manufacturing base. For example, water desalination and a plasma furnace (MHD or Magnetohydrodynamics) which could cheaply reduce any given ore to its elemental constituents thereby giving the lie to limited resources. The concept of fusion propulsion would also revolutionize space exploration and defense against comet impacts. So, unless you are working toward a future with fusion you are less than serious.
