Because rampant capitalism/consumerism is making the world an objectively worse place. Anyone paying attention can realize that.

Inb4 muh 'best time in human history'. If you measure how good the world is solely by looking at metrics like GDP, life expectancy, other material comforts, etc than yes, this would be the 'best' time to be alive. But by those metrics the world described in Brave New World would be a utopia we should be striving towards. Simply put there is much more to this world than a few unimportant capitalist metrics. We live in a time of epidemic mental and bodily unhealthiness, a near complete lack of valuable art/culture, social atomisation and consumerism/degeneracy; basically a world rapidly transforming into a homogeneous, intellectually vacant corporate prison. Capitalism caused this.
