Forced incentives can lead to emergent behavior with negative externalities.

Lee Kuan Yew talks about how poorly designed incentive mechanisms led to garbage accumulation in Singapore in the 1960s.

I think about this story a lot when designing incentive mechanisms for @loch_chain. It's probably a good idea to consistently ask these questions:

- What is the core goal for the intended recipients?

- Is there a more direct strategy to accomplish this?

- Could this lead to unintended garbage-pile up?

- Are there any other possible emergent behaviors and externalities?
