Systems produce outcomes that nobody wants due to their architecture of incentives, constraints, capacity, and feedback remains unchanged despite change in leadership and moral commitments.
WHAT SURVIVED?
They changed the boss They changed the crew Changed what everybody Swore they'd do
New promises New grand design Same old outcome Every time
What survived? What survived? Everybody changed Same thing arrives
Hero becomes villain Villain becomes hero Structure stays the same Judgment flips
What survived? What survived?
Move the pressure Change the cost Lift the limit Open the path
Now the outcome Changes too THERE'S YOUR CLUE!
What survived? What survived?
If nobody wants it But it still arrives Everybody changed Something survived
What survived? What survived? Everybody changed Something survived
