The world is too complex so we all model it in various ways. But to ignore reality, to stick with a model even when it has been shown to be wrong, is a pathway to destruction and obselecence. As has happened at least 6 times in the last 250 years, one group sticking to old models of the world is collapsing even while another group using better models is rising.There is conflict as the former tries to turn back the tide, but because their models simply are no longer selective representations of the world, they will fail.

In my specific example, fail=not make the money they thought they would.
