The author of the article has had their understanding of systems eat their understanding of humans. Every time they make a realization about people, it immediately gets turned to getting more understanding and control over the world. Which doesn't leave any room to grow for their understanding of humans.

This makes it really hard for them to write an article for non-technical people. To do so, they would have to connect the human side of things to the systems theory side of things. Which they can't do, because they don't understand the human side of things.

They aren't using bad-faith arguments to convince you that they are correct. They simply have no idea how to talk to you. They are in fact trying to be helpful, by presenting what they think is really useful information to understand and control the world with. Their help is useless to you, but they are trying.
