The Rational Trap
Under the existing system, no villain is required.
Each layer is "rational" locally:
🔹households want shelter
🔹banks want predictable cash flow
🔹pensions want safe yield
🔹governments want stability
But globally, the system consumes the very thing it needs to survive:
Uncommitted future time.
