    it must just be a 4D chess bluff.

    Many of us hope against all evidence there is some strategic logic here, some actual plan, some intelligence behind the chaos. I’m still in denial that this could happen in the real world ……it’s just a hallucination about some real estate conman

      Yeah, that’s the basic attitude I’m thinking of. Normalcy bias feed into it as well as what I mentioned about meritocracy.

      I suspect it’s less common in the lower classes because if you’re poor, stability has never been guaranteed, or for that matter even reasonability. There’s no expectation that’s been set. Depending on a person’s roots there might also be cultural memory in there of previous times things went crazy.
