Riktigt bra artikel av Morgan Housel som vanligt.
There is a “shock cycle” for all big news events . It goes like this:
- Assume good news is permanent.
- Oblivious to bad news.
- Ignore bad news.
- Deny bad news.
- Panic at bad news.
- Accept bad news.
- Assume bad news is permanent.
- Ignore good news.
- Deny good news.
- Accept good news.
- Assume good news is permanent.
In general people have no idea where they are in this cycle until after the fact.

For all its evil, war sometimes has a tiny silver lining. It can clarify the mind and reboot our ethical compass. It puts less serious things in perspective. It nudges us towards our neighbor and reminds us that our needs and interests are intertwined. It reignites our compassion.
Det satte verkligen ordet på det för mig i form av: “It can clarify the mind and reboot our ethical compass”
