What I really meant is that humanity is a self-regulating system. This disturbance will be regulated just as well as those other ones.

The unpleasant thing is that the example I’ve given involved lots of new power being created, while our disturbance is the opposite - people\forces already having power desperately trying to preserve their relative weight, at the cost of preventing new power being created.

But we will see if they’ll succeed. After all, the very reason they are doing this is because they can’t create power, and that is because their institutional understanding is lacking, and this in turn means that they are not in fact doing what they think they are. And by forcing those who can create power to the fringe, they are accelerating the tendencies for relief.
