the most intractable feature, and the biggest problem that this 4T will either amplify or solve, is the power we've given belief over demonstrable fact. The crash of 2008 should have been the example that finally get our attention enough to stop the practice, but it was, at most, a short hiccup on our way to doing it all again: wash, rinse, repeat. As a society, we're addicted to the Kool-Aid. Add to that the tribalism that makes changing minds an act of tribal treason, and the problem persists unabated. It's the basis for my belief that this 4T more likely to fail than not.
