How many Junior Chicken with pickles and onions does the unemployed cashier order? When its your turn thru the chipper shredder of the economy and you will never again have money, how many Junior Chicken with pickles and onions will you order at that time? Remember its only a matter of when, not if. When there's no one left with money to buy a Junior Chicken with pickles and onions does that mean the economy "won"? And who exactly is doing this "winning"? And whats the next step?
The problem with the historical analogies is no reaction mechanism is specified, or if one is provided its invalid or inapplicable (perhaps the new mechanism works, but only if all participants IQ are above 140...).
Without a plausible reaction mechanism, its just a gamblers fallacy. Say you're temporarily in a temporarily advanced civilization. You're playing a game where you flip a coin and every time it comes up heads, civilization not only survives but gets better, while every time it comes up tails the civilization collapses and most people die and there's nothing but ruins. In fact your world has no shortage of academics and the archeological ruins of dead civilizations that they ruminate over. Back to the game, so far every time your civilization flips the coin it came up heads, therefore its impossible for it to ever come up tails at any time in the future. Sounds logical, right? I do wonder why those other civilizations all failed, sometimes we're not smart enough yet to know, or there's no longer enough evidence, or using 20/20 hindsight and Monday morning quarterbacking it seems very self evident. Whatever, I got a coin that can only come up heads lets flip it a couple times, what could possibly be the downside?
