Was anyone experiencing this? Also, I don't think "black" in "black swan" even refers to any sort of negative nature. The phrase implies an unpredicted event that was rationalized after-the-fact as being obvious/predictable. Is it also used to refer to _specifically_ to negative/dystopian historical outliers?

Is this the human tendency?
I'm just really confused by your comment. Hope that doesn't seem rude. The assumptions you make seem quite specific to you as far as I can tell? But there's very little to go off of if I'm being honest, so I'd be happy to have it clarified.
