I&I - The bad apple effect
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This month’s installment of Incentives & Instincts, our recurring series with Bryce Ward, dives into the concept of bad apples in various social systems and their disproportionate impact on communities and institutions. Justin and Bryce discuss how a small number of bad apples can distort perceptions and influence norms, particularly in online spaces, workplaces, and public systems. They explore the balance between individual freedoms and community well-being within the framework of the social contract, arguing that stronger institutions and better social ties are essential to address these challenges.
