Mike, thanks for writing this. I think I am certainly addicted to social validation and it's something I'm trying to move away from. I feel my brain tuning to being over responsive to these signals and unable to think. Trying to find ways to reshape how I engage.
social validation is a drug, and many of the most powerful people alive are addicts. this is not ideal! also: the misinformation we love, voting for truth, and slowing down the runaway train.https://www.piratewires.com/p/dopamine-thirst-trap …

It's not some acute crisis, but it's a subtle shift. Don't want to look up one day and feel like I wasted my life because of it.

I like this post's frame of the problem. I think it's also worth investigating some social equivalent to cryptocurrency's Proof of Work. To update our shared reality, solve a bunch of useless puzzles first. (yes, I realize I may have just reinvented academia)
