I am not so sure about these narratives anymore.

Both bubble and Jenga tower are examples of unstable systems that can persist for an unexpectedly long time.

  • They're good analogies. It's possible to keep a Jenga tower going forever, just extremely difficult once it reaches the point of being all middle pieces.

    • Also easier if you can hold up bits of it with strings from the ceiling, which is what the EPA is doing for data centers here.
