a bit like the paradox of tolerance <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance>.
Thanks for this reference... it reminds me of a few other similar ones involving unintended and counter-intuitive outcomes:
Jevons Paradox: as technological improvements increase the efficiency with which a resource is used, the overall consumption of that resource may actually increase rather than decrease. Braess's Paradox: Braess's Paradox states that adding extra capacity to a network, such as a new road in a traffic system, can paradoxically reduce the overall efficiency and increase congestion Peltzman Effect*:* safety regulations and devices (such as seat belts) intended to reduce risk may lead to compensatory behavior, where individuals engage in riskier behavior because they feel more protected.** Moral Hazard: situations where individuals or institutions take on more risks because they do not bear the full consequences of those risks, often due to insurance or other safety nets.
