For those saying "It has always worked fine"... (Look at the math)
Stop telling me that 'debt has always existed' or that 'we’ve been here before.' We haven’t.
Look at the chart. In 2000, the debt curve was still manageable, running parallel to productivity. But since 2010, the math has changed. We have entered the Hyperbolic Phase.
When a curve goes vertical like the orange line (Debt) is doing against the blue line (GDP), there is no 'soft landing.' You cannot fix an exponential explosion with 1944 tools.
The system isn't 'broken'—it’s reaching its mathematical conclusion. We are trying to outrun a $38T avalanche with a $29T engine. It’s not about 'optimism' or 'pessimism' anymore; it’s about Geometry.
If you think this curve will magically invert without a total paradigm shift (like PCM), you aren't an economist—you're a believer in miracles.
The party is over. Time to upgrade the architecture
