The housing crash I believe was the result of mans trust in science.
They were using algorithms that they thought were too good to be true, and they were because the algorithms didn't think about philosophy and take in a lot of strange human behaviors into account.
And then the numbers didn't add up, because they were too good to be true.
A lot of people say it was greed, well, to an extent that was true, but also it was faith in our current technology and science that first came knocking.
They didn't know that it would collapse, they had faith that the numbers knew more than they did.
Same thing could happen during a pandemic, is all I am saying.
