My intention is not to criticise Greta, but the army of fools who seem to think she’s worthy of admiration. There are innumerable people more successful in addressing the issues Greta is vocal about, and more deserving of praise.
Sure Greta might be doing more than others her age, but we generally don’t praise people on that basis.
Sure we do. We even have a word for it… well, words, really. Positive reinforcement.
… but not for the innumerable other people doing more than Greta?
Why not? Praise is not a finite resource. One person getting praise doesn’t mean another is gonna get less. Sure, those doctors you’re talking about are getting less praise than her, but they’re also attracting less attention and fewer donations. Everyone has their role to play and getting bogged down on who’s doing more and who’s doing better only detracts from the work.
Sure. Ok mate. Please, by all means continue providing Greta all the positive reinforcement you like.
