If I could break that, I would be a lot richer than I am right now, certainly.

But what I know is that you can only ignore reality for so long.

Yes, it's exactly what happened with COVID.

I mean, you know, you had what was the fastest market contraction ever in the weeks that followed that February 19th all-time high.

I think that's entirely possible.

I think it doesn't seem very likely to me that this problem will simply go away.

But the longer this continues, the more that reality will assert itself.

It is, absolutely.

I mean, we are very good at looking at threats right in front of us.

I guess you could say

Evolutionary speaking, we would not have been around very long if that hadn't been the case.

When it comes to those slower moving, more disparate threats where you're getting a drip, drip, drip of bad news, that's easy for us to miss.

I think you can look at it with other longer term threats like climate change or even what will happen with AI.

It's just very hard for us to view those as actually happening and certainly to respond to them often until it becomes unignorable.

And then that response tends to happen all at once.

I'd love to say that's the case.

And yet we keep doing it over and over again.

It makes me think it's something that's very deeply rooted in human nature and probably serves us most of the time, right?

It would not be great if we were jumping at every shadow on the cave wall, so to speak.

I hope we can learn from history.
