Seems like we have a systemic crisis every 5-7 years

Between covid, an attempted insurrection, proxy war with Russia and now this potential financial crisis, there's a new black swan event happening every ~12 months.

How many black swans make a flock? At this rate the unpredictable and rare events are becoming frequent enough to lose that status.

The analogy kind of breaks down because black swans all look the same so I'll propose switching to snowflake events. Each one is beautiful and unique and we're starting to head into a flurry of them.

The H5N1 scare was around 2006, Russo-Georgian war in 2008, and the financial crisis in 2008.
