    Noah Smith Retweeted Patrick Collison

    Agree with this. Instead of redistributing respect, as I once thought we needed to do, we really just need to make more of it.https://twitter.com/patrickc/status/1052379958587224064 …

    Noah Smith added,

    Patrick CollisonVerified account @patrickc
    I used to wonder whether recognition from others is relative (such that we can only reallocate it) or absolute (we can make more!). Am now convinced it’s the latter, and that there’s a broad-based deficit in the world — a kind of Vitamin D deficiency for validation.

        What if we gave a participation trophy to an entire generation?

        Don't we basically do that to every generation?

        Don’t believe so. Just think your plan might be inflationary to certain respect markets.

        Not really. Would the Nobel Prize in Medicine lose value if there were 40 given out a year?

        You might care if you accidentally make certain types of respect perfunctory and valueless. Like saying thank you to a cashier. In good faith though, I agree we should in general be more respectful.
