Disrupt trust and you disrupt the nash equilibrium.

I remember that morning when almost every channel was replaying it. I remember watching live when the second plane hit.

I didn't understand the long term implications then, but I remember hearing things other people said who clearly did understand. It wasn't about the towers or the death, it was about the attack on trust and the long term impact that would have on individual people's choices that made up the broader culture.

Like a stick in the spokes of a continent sized bike that takes decades to flip over.
