Capitalism suffers from a plague number of social ailments, including epidemic levels of stress and mental illness, that aren't present in "poor" cultures.
Besides, terraforming our planet to make it less, not more, inhabitable, hardly counts as a big win.
LOL. Easy for you to say rich man. Go tell that to someone in Mozambique or Haiti or Nepal who is using their newfound wealth to finally be able to feed their kids a healthy diet.
Stress and mental illness.
Please.
It's very hard to find evidence to support this point of view. You might hypothesize some future change in trajectory sure. But looking at the current trajectory? Pretty hard.
Capitalism is pulling people out of poverty, but it is also destroying natural ecosystems. Is the reduction in poverty sustainable, or will it come back when the resources are gone?
They pull metrics tons of food out of thin air?
Even if that is true. I'd rather be stressed and be wealthy than be poor and forced to make a million sacrifices a day to just merely survive.
Maybe you should try exploring some of the rest of the world before assuming you know what's best for it.
A better example might be African countries where increased income has not led to better access to healthcare, but has instead fed a growing market for fake HIV/AIDS medications.
