a liquidity squeeze is like a body that has such consistently high insulin that all food directly goes into fat, disabling the ability to convert fat into energy. there is constant hunger b/c the cells need energy despite the nominal surplus of fat stores

high insulin corresponds to lack of psychological safety discouraging spending, lowering velocity of money, and increasing savings and speculation. all wealth is “fake wealth” just like fat is fake energy if it cannot be converted into atp by lowering insulin
