Via Don’t Trust the Rankings That Put China’s Universities on Top published by The New York Times on February 11, 2026
The gap between the rankings and reality can be explained by Goodhart’s law, which says that when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure. It’s like trying to cure a fever by icing the thermometer: You’ve cooled the instrument, but the patient is still burning up.

Conservatives are right that fathers matter; liberals are right that easy access to assault weapons amplifies catastrophe. Both truths stand. But legislation alone will not heal a culture where despair metastasizes faster than hope. What’s needed is more mentors, not more metal detectors. Communities must learn to listen before they punish. Schools must treat warning signs as pleas, not paperwork.
