Goodhart's law

As defined by Charles Goodhart,

Any observed statistical regularity will tend to collapse once
pressure is placed upon it for control purposes.

Democracia: es una superstición muy difundida, un abuso de la
estadística.

Democracy: representation by a very narrow selection of people
whose principal attributes & skills are that they are very, very
good at being elected.

Moore’s Law applied to co-option of labels and descriptions in
ag. Every time a novel label is applied to a practice/ food stuff,
it is co-opted in half the time of the previous co-option. Labels
are useless.

I miss the old days of the Internet when a Google search led to
discovering personal blogs and hidden gems instead of results
manufactured by SEO marketers.
