    I truly believe there is a psychological mechanism, that we summarize as :brainworms: but might have serious clinical potential for study, that makes these bazinga brains reimagine the world in janky ways that get their “investments” to seem important and valuable.

    Isn't that just an updated version of Concorde fallacy or sunken cost fallacy? When you invest enough money and social credibility in something it simply has to work and you pour more of your resources into it to make it work and convince yourself or works.
