Any other comments?
Here's a somewhat related discussion:

The author here is definitely an eccentric but he has some good
ideas. Like the late Mel Tappan, whom I knew as a kid and whom he
references frequently, he simply has no idea that 90% of even the
small minority perceptive and future-oriented enough to be interested
in what he has to say does not have the unlimited funds that would be
required to implement some of what he discusses.
