... this may be me "overfitting", but:
Humanity is progressing. We are getting very good at optimizing things! By default we tend to optimize for price/profit, which often boils down to optimizing for efficiency. 🤓
So; we risk squeezing the reliability out of our real life systems and networks - businesses, society.
IMO, our ability to measure society has weirdly not kept up with our ability to optimize it.
From fake news to market crashes... by this rule of thumb, predictable outcomes? 🤔
