Goodhart's Law, or duck-shoving
Ah: we see a pattern; set our goal; then try so hard to meet our goal that we change our behaviour. Find out more at https://www.samyoung.co.nz/2025/12/goodharts-law-or-duck-shoving.html

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Daojoan/115697200024123091

At first, I wanted to shout out loud: No, we don't all have #brainrot! No, this is a typical US-problem.
But read the article! @Daojoan provides a clever, incisive analysis of what is going wrong with #communication. The #goodNews: you can learn how to fight it. A great text for discussions in #journalism.
Perhaps I have some more optimism than she because I also work with cultural heritage and see the thirst for a real change.

"Three main theories about the phenomenon have been debated over the past two centuries. Earlier this year, researchers in Germany put forward a fourth hypothesis that they say solves the puzzle.

But does it? A consensus feels nearer but has yet to be reached. For now, the slippery problem remains open."
