Loving this prime example of why I say we need to identify the genuine systems-theoretic needs of humans and our natural environments. And mathematically/experimentally define & verify them. Optimizing for anything outside of what's literally needed seems to be fundamental to oppression, intended or not.

"The important part is figuring out what you should be optimizing for in the first place.

Most of the time, we don’t even ask that question. We just optimize for whatever’s easy to measure and hope it works out.

Spoiler: it probably doesn’t."
