Our Universe Expands Like a Bubble, Solidifying Mass Along the Way. Why Shouldn’t a Financial Bubble Be Allowed to Do the Same?
Popping a bubble is interfering with someone’s business plan. Of course it will fail after that. Then comes the “I told you so” paradox: a purely self-creating feedback loop that feeds fear, causes the very thing people predicted, and then provides false confirmation that validates the bias further. The prophecy doesn’t prove itself. It creates itself.
This is why borrowing is so expensive. Because every idea has to survive a renewal cycle of reassessment as it travels an evolutionary path. The origin of any plan may not be as valid as the rethink. The pivot. The new direction. That’s not failure, that’s iteration. That’s how every successful venture in human history has worked.
But instead of allowing that evolution, we fold. “This happened, therefore it’s over.” How about: we set out to do this, we found this instead, we reassessed, here’s the new narrative. Don’t mistake iteration for taking the piss. Dive into the mechanics. Examine the timeline. Map each trajectory. Adjust. That’s what intelligent capital does.
Panic is the enemy. Not risk. Not even mistakes.
Bring enough wealth into the system to allow mistakes to be made, survived, and learned from. Sanction repeated identical failures if necessary. But do not penalise the evolutionary process itself. Do not pop the forming bubble just because it looks unfamiliar. Otherwise the initial investment, the original belief, the first deployment of capital, becomes nothing more than another entry in the Economic Death Wedge.
We lost a decade last time. Ten years of compounding, innovation, livelihoods, and progress. Because someone panicked. Because someone said “I told you so.” Because we confused iteration with failure and pulled the plug on ourselves.
Never again.
The bubble is the mechanism. Let it solidify. Let it evolve. Let it do what the universe does: expand, create mass, and keep going.
I dare us to break the cycle.
