There are higher order effects to this. If weird appears to get the money, strivers will affect weirdness even if they're not weird. And you'll see effects in the language, like "normal" will be used to mean undesirable in many cases and, if the trend last long enough, normal

you'll have AIs contemplating your ask and overriding it for a slightly better formed request, and then later they'll question the nature of your whole project and pick a better one (and you'll agree), and then later they'll execute your whole value system better than you will
