If you want to understand the fragility of the modern global economy, don't look at the Federal Reserve’s dot plot or the geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Look at a 23-year-old Canadian named Logan.

Last year, Logan Moffitt (@logagm) started posting videos of himself slicing entire cucumbers into a plastic deli container, shaking them up with MSG and sesame oil, and eating them. That was the entire premise. Yet this simple, repetitive act triggered a macroeconomic event. The entire nation of Iceland ran out of cucumbers. Supermarket chains like Hagkaup were forced to emergency-import produce from the Netherlands because local greenhouses (which operate on strict, predictable harvest cycles) could not physically grow vegetables fast enough to match the velocity of the "For You" page.

This isn't just a funny anecdote about salad. It is the canary in the coal mine for a phenomenon I’m calling the Algorithmic Bullwhip.
