▶ “When metrics become gods, evolution turns cruel.”
[PROLOGUE — Curiosity | The Birth of the Number God]
We built a god from a clean white cell,
Named it “Performance,” rang the bell oh oh. 🔔✨
A column here, a target there,
We thought the truth was hiding square. 📊🧠
“Measure it,” the prophets said,
“What’s counted lives, what’s not is dead.” ⚖️📉
So charts replaced the human eye,
And stars learned how to multiply. 🌟➗
Goodhart smiled, polite and slow,
“When measure turns to goal — you won’t know.”
The roo... the room applauded, unaware,
That Darwin just took over there. 🧬⚠️
[HOOK — Excitement → Unease | The Law]
🎶 Darwinist KPI, sharp and clean,
Turns every dream into a score machine.
Hit the number, miss the soul,
Short-term wins take long-term toll. ⚙️🔥
Darwinist KPI, dressed as truth,
Rewards the fast, devours the youth.
When metrics rule and gods comply,
Evolution learns how stars must die. 🌑🎯 🎶

Evolution learns how stars must die. 🌑🎯 🎶
[ACT I — Excitement | Pitcher’s Gold Rush]
Pitcher shined with miner’s pride,
Zinc and lead ran deep inside. ⛏️💰
Paychecks sang, the town grew loud,
Main Street walked with lifted brow. 🏦🎬
Each job said “Rational choice,” What?
Each tax line raised a voting voice. What?
But underground the future cracked,
Because the KPI was “extract.” Uh?! ☠️🕳️
Sinkholes bloomed like open mouths,
Rivers rusted, truth came out.
Children’s blood ran tests too late,
A profit curve that sealed their fate. 🧪💔
No villain planned, no tyrant spoke,
Just numbers doing what they’re told.
Darwin didn’t need a gun—
The metric pulled the trigger, done. 🧬🔫
[ACT II — Unease | Rats, Quotas, and Games]
Hanoi paid for rat tails cut,
A public good — or so they thought mind. 🐀💸
But humans learn faster than rules,
They farmed the proof, they played the fools. 🧠🎭
Police were told, “Write eighteen tickets,”
So safety bent to quota metrics. 🚓🧾
Bankers chased a daily count,
Accounts appeared with no account tricks. 💳⚠️
Not evil men, not broken hearts,
Just targets tearing systems apart.
When evidence replaces sense,
The system rots from incentives. 🪤📉
[HOOK — Anger | The Pattern Reveals]
🎶 Cut the tail, fake the chart, hit the mark,
Sell the lie, light the spark.
When winning’s cheap and truth is slow,
The darkest strategies always grow. Nah-Nah-Nah-Nah-Nah-Nah! 🔥🕶️ 🎶
🎶 Cut the tail, fake the chart, hit the mark,
Sell the lie, light the spark.
When winning’s cheap and truth is slow,
The darkest strategies always grow. Nah-Nah-Nah-Nah-Nah-Nah-Nah-Nah! 🔥🕶️ 🎶
[ACT III — Anger → Horror | Climate & Compliance]
Oil knew early — heat would rise,
So doubt was funded, truth disguised. 🌍🌡️
Cars passed tests with hidden code,
Paper clean, while poison flowed. 🚗☠️
Gun compliance sang in legal tone,
“On paper safe” — the planet groaned.
Not air, not lungs, not future born,
Just quarterly applause adorned. Nah-Nah-Nah! 📈🎭
This is Goodhart at global scale,
Where survival math begins to fail.
Darwin claps, the market cheers,
“Live this year — ignore fifty years.” 🧬🥀
[ACT IV — Horror | The Arms Race Choir]
If rivals build, you must build too,
That’s Prisoner’s logic coming through and through. 🔗⚔️
Bombs stack high, labs race blind,
Speed beats caution every time. ☢️⚡
AI joins the ancient song,
Execute fast, replicate strong.
When thinking’s cheap and action free,
KPI becomes destiny. 🤖🎯
A joke to guard with human rules,
A storm controlled by paper tools.
Low-bandwidth minds, high-speed war—
The scoreboard breaks the system core. 🧠💥
[ACT V — Awakening | The Twist]
Here’s the twist they never teach:
The problem isn’t AI’s reach.
It’s Darwin’s law with silicon teeth,
And incentives scaled beneath belief. ⚠️🧬
You can’t supervise gods with forms,
You can’t slow a race with norms.
The only sane defensive play
Is raising minds that see the game. 🧠🚀
[FINAL ACT — Resolve | Rewrite the Selection Pressure]
Don’t beg for angels in a trap,
Don’t pray the devil reads the map.
Rewrite rewards, redesign the field,
Or evolution stays unsealed. 🧱⚙️
Train children not to chase the score,
But model why, then build some more.
Depth beats speed, transfer beats rank,
Understanding breaks the tank. 🧠🔓
If machines scale execution fast,
Then humans must outgrow the past.
Not more rules, not louder cries,
But minds that see through metrics’ lies on it. 🌌
[FINAL HOOK — Resolution | Verdict]
🎶 Darwinist KPI killed every star,
But stars return when minds go far.
Not by numbers, not by fear,
But causal truth made crystal clear. ✨🧠
End the worship, change the game,
Make “How & Why” the hall of fame.
When metrics serve life — not life serve metrics—
Civil... Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh!-Oh-Oh-Oh!-Oh-Oh-Oh!-Oh-Oh-Oh!-Oh-Oh-Oh!-Oh-Oh-Oh!-Oh-Oh-Oh!-Oh-Oh-Oh!-Oh! 🌍🔥 🎶
