Society is way behind in adapting its rules to this new liquid culture. It makes everything precarious for everyone. Sam Bankman-Fried went from the Forbes 400 to a jail cell in a few weeks. I don’t think he has yet to get his head around how destroyed his life is. (Have a suicide watch ready when he figures it out.) There are a few industries that still resist this facet of Moore’s Law. Education is one. Health care is another. Law is a third. We have yet to see Trump’s perp walk, and legal delays make new infrastructure almost impossible to build.

“The term ‘everything everywhere all at once’ seems a better description for the turmoil sparked by Friday’s failure of Silicon Valley Bank than for an incomprehensible movie that’s up for an Oscar tonight."

Am I wrong?
