Eh, but as an overpaid engineered stuck in the SV bubble how would you get to see that? If everything around you confirms your psychosis, and nobody gives you a reality check, how are you supposed to snap out of it?

I'm not sure. There's a lot of incentive to not "snap out of it": money, peer pressure, etc. Removing these incentives take a long time. See other socially harmful behaviors with real incentives: anti-vaccination, air and water pollution, over-consumerism...
