In this episode, we explore why adding more "gravity" to a stalled system is a physics violation. If your users are coasting, doubling the points won't make them go faster—it just makes the system more inefficient.
- The Law: How Terminal Velocity creates a behavioral speed limit.
- The Resistance: Why "Hedonic Adaptation" acts like air resistance against your incentives.
- The Aerodynamics: Redesigning the medium through Variable Geometry and Induced Current.
- Listener Challenge: Audit your "coasters" and disrupt their routine with a change in context, not a change in quota.
