I think the overreaction should not be viewed as "rational" from a hindsight perspective. Society should learn from its mistakes.

- yojo 4y agoWhen you have a systemic shock with unknown impact, rational can still be ultimately wrong. If there’s a 50% chance of total economic meltdown, and you can avert it with a few years of high inflation, that might still be the correct decision, even if the doomsday scenario doesn’t come true.
- namarie 4y agoNot to mention that we'll never know for sure whether the doomsday scenario would have come true or not. So it might still have been a good response.
