TDS is the intellectual version of a physical addiction. Escape from torment that accompanies physical addiction frequently occurs when the familiar destination, referred to as the bottom, is hit figuratively and perhaps sometimes literally by those addicted.
Alert! the same metaphorical ending, paraphrased as "bottoming out", applies to intellectual addictions that are often encountered in the highest realm of thought absurdities. A realm which is known as politics.
TDS is such an addiction condition. Some will make it through. Others not so well. Some may simply try to forget or ignore it ever happened to them, that is deceive themselves back into reality (a tenuous ambiguous oxymoronic condition at best).

Hibiscus. First orange bloom 2026. No explanation why it hibernated 9 months through the warm seasons. Enjoy the beauty.

Goal: Increase knowledge of economic reality preserving life through tariffs war. My hypothesis explained here in an example is the loss of life of passengers on the Titanic. The loss would have been substantially fewer if there had been a tariff of 100% and more on the price of tickets. Recommendation: Adopt the policy to save lives with tariffs by charging only enough tariffs to save 100% of lives. Expect this methodology to work almost perfectly achieving the intent for applying the tariff.
Warning label: Side-effects are certain to result in the diminishment (diminution) of quality or entirety of life. *
Supposition: The side-effect may over time result in a similar amount of life diminution as the actual event that occurred with the iceberg. AN OPINION
FOOTNOTE: This comment can be analyzed in the intellectual arena of unwanted but not unknown and expected consequences.

The clue woven into the yarn, "history repeats itself" is that the "story" has been told before. Sometimes ingenuity (responsibility) can reveal what the repetition point will be (begin/end) since it is known that the current story is metaphorically, figuratively or elsewise plagiarized from history. The curtain dropping end is the only part of the performance that will happen only once.
Unpredictables shall be called "miracles". They are not foreseeable (predictable), so their effect has a case-by-case impact on the performance of reality.
No such word I predict this moment but not always.
OPINION. Historically consistent. That qualifies me for classification as opinionated.)
