This chapter explores the phenomenon of concept creep and how it expands the boundaries of concepts like bullying and dignity, encompassing new phenomena and evolving definitions over time.
In this episode we explore prevalence induced concept change. In a nutshell, when we set out to change the world by reducing examples of something we have deemed problematic, and we succeed, a host of psychological phenomena can mask our progress and make those problems seem intractable -- as if we are only treading water when, in fact, we’ve created the change we set out to make.
