Gresham's law

Read a random definition: surrogate carrier

A quick definition of Gresham's law:

Gresham's Law: The idea that bad things can push out good things. For example, if people start using fake money instead of real money, the real money might disappear because no one wants to use it anymore. This idea is named after Sir Thomas Gresham, but other people talked about it before him.

A more thorough explanation:

Gresham's Law is an economic principle that states that inferior products or practices tend to replace superior ones. This principle is often attributed to Sir Thomas Gresham, although earlier writers like Oresme and Copernicus also discussed it.

One example of Gresham's Law is the use of counterfeit money. If counterfeit money is circulated in an economy, people will tend to hoard the real money and use the counterfeit money instead. This is because the counterfeit money is inferior to the real money, but it is easier to obtain and use.

Another example is the use of low-quality materials in manufacturing. If a company uses low-quality materials to make a product, the product may be cheaper to produce, but it will be of lower quality than a product made with higher-quality materials. Consumers may choose to buy the cheaper, lower-quality product instead of the higher-quality one, leading to the displacement of the superior product.

These examples illustrate how inferior products or practices can displace superior ones, even if the inferior ones are of lower quality or value.

Idk if any of you watch UFC but one time interim heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall won a fight and said on the mic afterwards “if you feel scared to do something, that’s a pretty good sign you should just go fucking do it” and I believe that applies very much to people wondering if they should R&R. Sure you can but why not just see what happens now?

It was years ago but it was a lower card fight, dude didn't speak good english and they tried asking him his plan, he was like "punch him" they tried to get more info pushing it again and he said "punch him hard" and pointed at his forehead.... I don't remember the results of the fight but dude had a solid plan.
