if one were to accept that the chaotic & ineffective governance was a function of error rather than planning, well, that would mean that our societal coordination systems are deeply flawed
there's few problems more terrifying than that of decentralized coordination failure
clearly the universe is Just, so it cannot be that incompetents end up in position of power; there must be something more, some order to the chaos. no, its that they're not incompetent at all, but rather lying to us about their goals!
much easier to deal with a concrete enemy
this variant, however, cannot be attributed to individual misconduct, as it deals w/ governance & policy; clearly the badness is flowing down from on high. but how is it generated? it would be Unjust were it simply benign incompetence, so instead it must be malicious conniving.
the standard Just Universe drives people to attribute unfortunate outcomes to individual misconduct: if you got cancer, well, it's probably bc you deserved it somehow; the universe/god wouldn't let bad things happen to good people!
a pernicious metaphysical error; few are immune
many conspiratorial worldviews seem to be based on a sort of inverse Hanlon's razor, which is itself a perverted Just Universe fallacy; it would be painful to accept that the universe does not have an order, so it's better to posit that there are bad people in charge causing evil

a bank run is in essence a rejection of credit as money. credit is future money brought forward into the present day & makes up the bulk of all economic fuel & acitivity which is the Stuff That Hoomans Do

Hey, I see a lot of you struggling with the prospect of seeing family tomorrow.
I get it, I am from a family that was all but wrecked by addiction and codependence. Most of them still struggle with drugs and depression.
For ppl from broken homes, holidays are damn hard.

going to start saying "cum" instead of "dopamine" for that abstract concept that wasn't actually dopamine anyway. "tabbing to twitter for a quick burst of cum" etc
