It also has other implications. If you change the perception of reality, while reality remains the same, you're creating a deception. Eventually people will see through the facade, and then you're worse off than before.

- TeMPOraL 5y agoWith a sufficiently strong feedback loop, it very much is. For example, to the extent our aggregate perspective on the future influences our market decisions now (and by "our" I mean everyone, including the political and industrial leadership), we can pretty much state outright that our outlook on the future will determine the severity of climate challenges ahead. Markets are as good in being affected by hard reality as they're good at amplifying our collective delusions and making the reality conform.
