I think pressure builds and then things snap when stress tested. 2020 was a stress test of a long tail fidelity loss and cultural degradation, imo. It only revealed the truth that a lot of still sane people weren’t aware of, because the “urban bug men” still looked sort of sane in general day to day operations. It wasn’t until some lower layer reality revealed itself that the delusions and inaccuracies of their mental models were clearly visible.

At least that’s how I’ve been thinking about it for the past week or so in the context of that article.
