Good Sir — have you heard about Google AMP? 😂 In a broader sense, I'm thinking about this from first principles. Bureaucracies/hierarchies are bad at getting (useful) information from the outside world and strong at optimising a single variable far beyond usefulness.

So, in a world of nudging, where a technocratic class decides choice architectures for everyone, I would predict that they will move to nudge too far. I'm looking for detailed examples and discussion. I'm told bookshop.org/books/re-engin… is a good source!
