This doesn't feel well elucidated, but I've been thinking about Goodhart's law in other area's of life -- e.g. Owning a home is cool and can enable some cool things. However, when home ownership becomes the goal, it's becomes easy to disregard a lot of life giving things in pursuit of owning a home.
This seems to pop up in a lot of areas and I find myself asking is X thing a thing I really desire or is it something that is a natural side effect of some other processes.
