ineffabelleThere are a lot of "eddies" in the financial system, caused by intentional human action to "beat the system". Since that is our current primary means of capitalization, this creates economic "dead zones" where the universe becomes locally non-dao. The dao works unceasingly to re-vitalize these zones, but to do so it must destroy the existing structures that maintain these zones. Many humans work feverishly to maintain these structural barriers so they don't lose their non-dao advantages. This requires more and more effort over time as the imbalance becomes greater and greater.
Humans are capable of holding off the dao and going against it. They are the only creatures able to do so, that we know of. This is our great "secret" and also the source of all our suffering.
If you don't believe/understand this, you won't have an adequate theory of suffering and what can be done about it. It also requires an understanding of margins and how they work. Any barrier to entry works at the margins.
