The problem is, no one has much other choice than to go this route and invest into the "next potential unicorn". With classic stocks stagnating and many government bonds in low to negative interest territory, it's hard to make any noticeable profit.
The way to fix this would be to reform pensions to a government-backed system such as Germany or Austria have - that reduces the amount of "dumb money" in the system.
