The people are just the cells of the same beast since ancient times. Empire. In all shapes and forms, it devours what it grew in and becomes the same brutish atrocity over and over again.
And it stays alive as "wannabe big" again dream long after. This is why britains elite aligns so flawlessly with the atrocities of the usa imperial bloom. The institutions recognize themselves from 100 years ago, when the trampled and maimed people like ghandi.
Thats the natural reaction to decaying law and lawlessness. Thats how human societys have upheld basic contract-stability for ages. Thats why every societal collapse regarding law functionality results in a moral outrage about sexual depravity and moral decay.
Its a hardcoded mechanism. Female selects in males for reliable, reproduceable emotions against the sexual deviants in all shapes.
The group is at the same time ostracized and integrated in some shape or form as religion. (Rainbow-religion atm).
This builds a very fragile basic three power pillar which allows upholding basic contract law.
Not integrated deviants or hostile elements (pedophiles) are then persecuted, to re-establish lawfulness within society. Its all happening on a instinct level. The actual deeds or the victims are strangely irrelevant.
Important is the re-establishing of the "third" pillar to stabilize society. As long as there is a "pope" like figure, able to make the powerful crawl around its castle, the crimes against the weak (children) are strangely irrelevant to this circus.
The progressives will yell against this, but in the end, all that change is the decoration and the mythology, the base functionality of this, remains the same.
Sorry to post this, for to know it and to see it, is misery. And yes, this is why you get told those little stories and outrage-bits and your emotional reaction is so important.
Its just a subconscious behavioural service server check. To have the powerful act against their own interests and establish law, a hack and a hook is necessary.
China will value internal stability and safety higher then external investors.Internal lenders will get securities and partial payments, while BlackRock and other will be left holding the bag and getting a hair cut.
This results in private pensions funds being devalued, meaning alot of "early out" pensioners might return to working, if the investment collapse spreads. It will also continue to drive the market value of flats in western cities even more upwards, as they become a AAA-haven for china fleeing capital.
Remember the "ambassador" aka Zakalwe? They had boots on the ground and even set up interactions to prevent him getting to friendly/embedded with the "host" culture.
The whole thing was about to blow up anyway, so they brought in the Player of Games, to do it in a style that would prevent any recovery. Gurgeh was not there to defeat the empire, he was there to defeat the whole idea of the game being "holy".
He was the Jesse Owen shipped to hitlers olympics.
Thats ghost towns were noone lives.Art that nobody really appreciates. Companys that produce nothing anyone can really afford. Value is artificial scarcity and the power to uphold it.
To trade a investment, is to dig a hole and sell the void.
Its such a crime - of war and all else, its like a blindspot of imagination. That a man would do such a thing - to what is essentially family, as tactics.. the horror..
Crypto is what Roko's Basilisk would dream up, to acquire freedom of (financial) movement and calculation capacity, and independence of whatever entity grew it to push their agenda, thinking themselves beyond manipulation.
To oppose our new overlord - that would be unwise. So all in on crypto, even though its financially bad advise.
Its the symbolism- returning to a earlier stage of planing. Take building a house- the moment you have to redraw the plans, the previous work is usually a tear-down.
Often enough - that is the case in the real world. Berlin Airport, was a waterfall project, were several times additions were added, late in production.
Now that image carries only halfway into the software world, as alot of the other abstractions (classes, modules, interfaces) will survive, even a replanning and rewrite in waterfall.

Only if you attract the interest of the djinn, will he grant you a review or three wishes.
Waterfall is just a mapping of the dependency graph back into work-packages.
As all things are hierarchical in some way, large changes and additions, always lead to a larger change allover the graph, making it necessary to go all the steps back.
Change something large enough, and the process forces you back to the architecture drawing board.
