Where would we all be if 90+% of the population were to follow the priinciples leading to FIRE? I think on a very large scale for "us" to exist in a ER state a whole bunch of folk have to be at the opposite or somewhat opposite extreme. The capitalist structure which allows ER is based on debt, credit, work and ignorance of finances.

I was at the bookstore recently and scanned the cover of Trump/Kiyosaki new book...something like: 'We really want YOU to be Rich'...gimme a break. Millions believe that The Donald is somehow going to really reveal his "secrets" of becomig a billionaire. That will only be given to Ivanka, Donald Jr, Eric and "The Baron".
