One area of his concern is the recent actions of the Fed and other central banks to prevent small crises through propping up weakness — recall "extend and pretend." This results in weaknesses building in the system, resulting in systemic risk rising. Until the dam breaks from over-patching unpredictably through emergence that cannot be foreseen using conventional modeling nor can conventional modeling help much in addressing such a crisis when it occurs.
