This is true. If we were to implement policies to give each other more validation we would be maybe up to about 5% happier. But that pales in comparison if we deal with the real problem: how our reward circuitry makes people feel empty and useless such a large part of the time.https://twitter.com/patrickc/status/1052379958587224064 …

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.
