Unscramble the Blue Letters


Now, this poesrcs of competition gone wrong is actually the driving force behind so many of our biggest iesuss. Plastic pollution, deforestation, atiibonitc overuse in farming, arms raecs, greenhouse gas emissions. These are all a result of crappy invintcees, of poorly designed games that push their players -- be them people, companies or grvemetnnos -- into taking strategies and tactics that defer costs and harms to the future. And what's so ridiculous is that most of the time, these guys don't even want to be doing this. You know, it's not like packaging companies want to fill the oceans with plastic or farmers want to woresn antibiotic resistance. But they’re all stuck in the same dmielma of: "If I don't use this tactic, I’ll get outcompeted by all the others who do. So I have to do it, too.”

Original Text


Now, this process of competition gone wrong is actually the driving force behind so many of our biggest issues. Plastic pollution, deforestation, antibiotic overuse in farming, arms races, greenhouse gas emissions. These are all a result of crappy incentives, of poorly designed games that push their players -- be them people, companies or governments -- into taking strategies and tactics that defer costs and harms to the future. And what's so ridiculous is that most of the time, these guys don't even want to be doing this. You know, it's not like packaging companies want to fill the oceans with plastic or farmers want to worsen antibiotic resistance. But they’re all stuck in the same dilemma of: "If I don't use this tactic, I’ll get outcompeted by all the others who do. So I have to do it, too.”
