"In a consensus decision-making process, the decision and the buy-in land at the same time. Rather than making a decision and then getting everyone on board, you get everyone on board, at which point the decision is clear."

Tired of being constantly ‘nudged’? I know I am. Text, email, robocall reminders & notifications - from everyone all the time. Blame #BehavioralEconomics. It’s all about compliance engineering. Read the Wikipedia note:

“The first formulation of the term nudge and associated principles was developed in cybernetics by James Wilk before 1995 and described by Brunel University academic D. J. Stewart as "the art of the nudge". It also drew on methodological influences from clinical psychotherapy tracing back to Gregory Bateson... In this variant, a nudge is a microtargeted design geared toward a specific group of people, irrespective of the scale of intended intervention. In 2008, Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein's book Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness brought nudge theory to prominence. The authors refer to the influencing of behaviour without coercion as libertarian paternalism and the influencers as choice architects.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nudge_theory?wprov=sfti1 #nudge #NudgeTheory #compliance

3/🧵Consumer nudges - some examples of techniques employed by corporations to engineer behavior in target populations:

1. Anchoring
Showing an expensive “premium” product first makes mid-tier products feel affordable.
2. Subscription retention
Friction design
“Cancel” buried behind multiple screens or confirmation steps exploits status quo bias.
3. Digital engagement
Variable rewards
Social media “likes” and notifications use dopamine-triggering intermittent reinforcement.
4. Privacy compliance (ironically)
Framing & overload
Privacy notices are long and confusing; most users click “Agree” by default.
5. Email & SMS text nudges to complete purchases, participate in promotions, or claim discounts

2/🧵In our modern, data-driven #economy consumer compliance (that’s us folks) is being ENGINEERED through the application of “Behavioral Economics” (see previous post) by corps, govt, banks, Drs & clinics, and NGOs. This is a widely misunderstood
& underreported predatory manipulation. Here’s what it looks like:

With AI and real-time data analytics, behavioral economics has evolved into precision behavioral design:
• Real-time monitoring of user behavior (cookies, wearables, apps)
• Predictive algorithms determining the optimal nudge per person
• “Dark patterns” in UI/UX steering behavior invisibly
• Governments using social credit or reputation systems (e.g., China) blending surveillance + behavioral nudging
This hybrid of behavioral economics + data science + persuasive design is becoming the new architecture of compliance in both democratic and authoritarian systems. #BehavioralEconomics #economics #psychology #nudge #compliance #SocialScience

Let’s talk about “behavioral economics” - the academic discipline that focuses on the consumer decision making (behavior/psychology) involved in purchasing (economics) and more broadly “compliance” environments. The basic ideas behind #BehavioralEconomics emerged decades ago, but the discipline itself became entrenched in the mid-1990s. BE gave us the #nudge - you know, those prompts we get every day via text, email & phone from retailers (you’ve got 1 item waiting in your cart for check-out), our doctors for appointments, the bank, even grocery stores that place fast moving or promoted items at eye level on the shelf.

Nudge is a concept in behavioral science, political theory and economics which proposes designs or changes in decision environments as ways to influence the behavior and decision making of groups or individuals—in other words, it's "a way to manipulate people's choices to lead them to make specific decisions". #economics #manipulation #compliance #consumers

Nudge Theory is when you attempt to change someone's behavior by pushing them in certain directions through subtle hints. #nudgetheory #behavior #change #subtle #nudge #push

v1.3 of nudge-auto-updater is out!

@plantvibes added functionality that lets you specify days you _don't_ want Nudge enforcement deadlines to fall on, and nudge-auto-updater will plan around them. Useful for change windows, weekends, and public holidays.
Inspired by macOS 15.2, the two-week enforcement of which would have landed on Christmas Day :)

Release is here: https://github.com/jc0b/nudge-auto-updater/releases/tag/v1.3

A #nudge improves a decision environment.
A #boost improves a decision competency.

This paper argues against Sunstein's suggestion that boosts are thus educative or reflective (System 2) interventions.

Opt-out defaults do not increase organ donation rates https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S003335062400355X
"… longitudinal analysis suggests that changing to an opt-out default does not increase organ donation rates.
Switching from an opt-in to an opt-out default did not result in an increase in donation rates when averaged across countries. Moreover, the opt-out default did not lead to even a gradual increase in donations"

Will this one simple trick get people to think more reflectively? As usual, no.

In two experiments in multiple countries, a brief scientific article describing the benefits of intuitive or reflective thinking didn't impact performance on tests of intuitive and reflective thinking.
