Jung had a theory called enantiodromia. It’s the idea that an excess of something gives rise to its opposite. Let me give you an example from Mother Nature. California was hit with an epic drought in the mid-2010s. Then 2017 came, dropping a preposterous amount of moisture. Parts of Lake Tahoe received—I’m not making this up—more than sixty-five feet of snow in a few months. The six-year drought was declared over. You’d think that would be great. But it backfired in an unexpected way.
