Lately, I’ve been fascinated by how concepts from geology might apply to completely different fields like finance. Tectonic plates shift slowly, building pressure until it’s released in earthquakes or volcanic activity. Markets sometimes feel the same way, with quiet periods followed by sudden swings.
Do you think there’s a useful analogy here? For example, could “pressure points” in markets like overvalued assets or geopolitical tensions act like fault lines, eventually causing volatility when they snap? Or is this comparison too simplistic?
I’d love to hear if anyone’s explored this idea further or has thoughts on how geological processes might mirror financial ones. Maybe there’s even a way to adapt risk models based on how we study tectonic activity. What do you think?
