I find this second article much clearer than the first one. It focuses mainly on a diagnosis of some problems which reside within the current social and economic models, and I agree with most of the diagnostics. The idea of an ever growing, unpayable debt driving the monetary system and, by proxy, the whole economic system just seems nonsensical, and it true that, from a technological point of view, we could be satisfying many more people's needs in a more efficient way. Unfortunately, the article does not advance any clear solutions to these problems, and I still can't form a clear picture of a RBE at work.

I'll just be waiting for a precise enunciation of the RBE ideas to replace existing social and economic formal structures while addressing issues such as, e.g., personal incentive for productivity, freedom to fulfill one's needs and to pursue one's goals in alternative ways, and the means for ensuring compliance from the public.

Also, it would be interesting to compare the solutions proposed by RBE ideas, which require a radical and massive change towards some ill-defined hypothetical utopia, to possible solutions from within the actual social and economic system which, as you should be aware, has been under development since the cradle of civilization and keeps on progressively getting better.
