From 1634 to 2026... The story may be different but the plot remains the same #TulipMania

During the 17th c. #DutchGoldenAge, the #Netherlands had the highest per-capita income and pioneered many of #capitalism's features. #TulipMania, the first major #FinancialBubble, popped on #ThisDayInHistory in 1637, but had little effect on the economy unlike many later bubbles.
1 I wonder if 500 years from now the #AIbubble won’t look uncannily similar to #Tulipmania: massive over-investment in a marginal asset with some intrinsic value, but not nearly enough to justify the degree of #overvaluation during the inflation of the #bubble. 🧡

I'm honestly starting to think these CEOs have a single shared brain cell among them. It would explain a lot.

I knew about the Turks and tulips, and I also knew, or at least thought I knew, about the Dutch and "tulip mania".

What I did not know about was the Flemish connection. In addition, I was only vaguely aware of how serious researchers have cut the "tulip mania" legend down to size.

Tulips: Dutch, Turkish, or Flemish?

Learn about the Flemish botanists and diplomats who first introduced the tulip to Western Europe, sparking a fascination that grew into Tulipmania and endures today.

@georgetakei I just explained to someone again #TulipMania.

I don't know why it crossed our minds.

Looks like the bubble is about to pop, or at least deflate while making a high pitched squeaky noise.

The fascist techbros watch in horror as their inflated stock valuations and unrealistic so called AI exaggerations evaporate like an LLM generated hallucination πŸ€”πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
