Understanding what breaks AFTER something fails
Most people stop thinking at the first failure. The internet goes down, so websites stop working. Bees die, so honey production drops. The power grid fails, so the lights go out.
But that's not where the real damage happens.
The second failure — the cascading consequence that people don't prepare for — is the one that matters.
Every scenario on DipTwo follows the same pattern:
The initial system or resource that fails. Neutral, factual description.
The immediate consequence everyone expects and prepares for.
The cascading consequence people don't see coming. This is where the real damage happens.
The domino effect. How dependencies cascade into system-wide collapse.
Clear explanation of the dependency chain and why the second failure occurs.
Common misconceptions and why they fail to address the real problem.
The core insight. What this scenario teaches about systems thinking.
We don't predict doom. We explain dependencies.
No hype, no politics, no fear-mongering. Just clear cause and effect.
Our goal is to teach systems thinking, not to scare people.
We address what people get wrong, including common myths.
DipTwo is for anyone who wants to understand how systems fail:
