imo one of :jordan-eboy-peterson:’s stopped clock moments is how the flood myth can be seen as a cultural analogy for civil dysfunction. We build up giant systems collectively over generations and by the time they start falling apart due to corruption, the effects of their failure can really feel supernatural.
This whole thing is getting really strong monster movie (like Cloverfield or Alien) vibes:
Except the monster is just the incredibly corrosive effects of Capitalism.

Jose Saramago's Seeing addressed this too if I remember correctly, except he was a full-on marxist, so there was nothing "stopped clock" about it.
