Believing things takes a lot of energy. You can measure the fragility of a system by the energy it takes to believe in it. Or alternately, how believable it is at non-striving slacker energy levels. Good systems are 80% believable at 2o% peak energy level.

It's stop consuming energy when the belief has elevated to faith, at which point they just stop questioning outcomes.
It's liberating. And nuts.

Why diminishing returns there, why not simply less energy = less fragile

Believing is just shorthand for risk assessment. Are you including sunk cost fallacy in that estimate? Or age of exposure to a new idea requiring belief?
Does believing meet the Pareto model?
Interesting.
