General Discussion

This as extremistan vs mediocristan or simply man-made systems versus organic/natural systems. A simple analogy, wealth versus body. In a normal sample of humans, their wealth can be many orders of magnitude different. But humans can at best maybe be an order or two different; you never expect to see a 25 ft tall person walking around but millionaires and billionaires are by comparison quite common.

Essentially, we’ve created a system that doesn’t have biological controls to keep from getting out of wack (until there’s a catastrophic system failure).

My guess is we’ve removed any possible mechanism of control by allowing big businesses to continue operating after they’ve caused huge systemic financial breakdowns, or too big to fail. Without real consequences for bad behavior, the same folks are propped back up to make the same mistakes again.
