Iatrogenic is a word you should know.
I get it was made famous by Nicholas Taleb.
Yeah, that seems like a Taleb word.
When the cure is worse than the disease.
Hmm.
OK, the world is full of iatrogenic solutions to hypothetical problems or theoretical problems.
And generally, most civilizations fail because they get rich and successful and arrogant.
And then the people that run them start to react to hypothetical problems in an iatrogenic fashion such that they inflict more damage on the civilization than the hypothetical risk.
It's like over-insuring.
You become a hypochondriac.
That's one word for it.
People that imagine diseases and then they treat themselves for imaginary diseases.
Another word is autoimmune disease.
The biological example is I'm reacting destructively to something that shouldn't kill me, but it's going to kill me, allergies, where you actually overreact to the peanut and you go into anaphylactic shock or something and you die.
The peanut shouldn't have killed you.
The peanut didn't kill you.
Your body killed you because you were hypersensitive to the pathogen.
And so in this case,
I think this is why when people talk about Bitcoin and they say it doesn't move fast and that's a feature, not a bug.
Moving too fast is like being hyper allergic or hypersensitive.
