Rationalizing the irrational tends to be unpleasant.

I think it's a complete fabrication that people are dependent on the financial system and that we need economic stability. People enjoy drama and they are able to recover from any economic failure. Even total failure.

Too big to fail is total BS. If a solar storm wiped out all records of bank accounts and all records of all financial holdings, the economy would quickly recover. The number of new opportunities that this would create would be unprecedented.

From the perspective of most people, the best feature of capitalism is not its ability to provide sustenance (even communism can do that), it's its ability to provide hope for something better... Unfortunately these days our modern version is not true capitalism, it's crony-capitalism and it doesn't yield much hope - You are given a place in society and the only way you can get something better is by doing something deeply unethical and then earning hush money from your corporate masters.

We are heading towards a dystopian surveillance capitalist future. Even if the economy crashes permanently and never recovers, that future doesn't look so bad compared to what would happen if we stay on course with current monetary policies.
