This is the core tension. Exponential technological deflation colliding with a monetary system structurally dependent on inflation to service its debt load. The system cannot accommodate both simultaneously.

What makes it chaotic is the feedback loop: the faster technology deflates prices, the harder central banks have to work to maintain nominal growth. That effort — money printing, rate suppression, fiscal expansion — distorts capital allocation even further. The minds are slow because the paradigm shift requires accepting that the measuring stick itself is broken.
