I feel like every week there's a new doomsday article about coming recession, and yet one has not appeared. Of course, if you print it weekly, people start to believe it and eventually you'll be right for one reason or another.
Couldn't agree more, negative feedback loops tend to reproduce the same outcomes. Maybe I'm pessimistic but seems like most folks aren't reading much at all beyond the headlines and tend to just regurgitate the negative prose on topics they haven't bothered to do basic research on, or repeat whats trending. Things change, economies shift, were all a part of the whole no matter how disconnected we think we are. The social reinforcement of gloom and doom becomes the market of consumption. It's time we put our heads together to produce solutions, focus on what we can do now, be proud of what we did today. Yesterday already happened, tomorrow will be the result of what we do with the time we have.
