- duncanawoods 10y agoThe argument is that the lack of constraint means that social forces are allowed to dominate, such as hype, fashion etc. Its not causal, its vulnerability. Any human endeavour similarly unconstrained will see similar dynamics when popularity, status, boredom and novelty run free.
