Yes, we are stupid. Because fool me once then shame on you. But fool me twice then shame on me.

And since "we" (our decision makers) keep repeating the same old mistakes and never really learn from the past (why should they? no real liability, remember? comes with having no clue) the only signal we're sending out is: please milk me more, oh, slap me again, master. How strange that markets react to that.

Sigh.

In order to change behaviour you need to change attitude and that requires intervention with the right stimulation (countering unwanted motivating factors).

Education also helps but some people seem to have turned such a blind eye that teaching sign language and such might be in order.
