Some thoughts about how possibly how deluded we become of praise. My experience with world of warcraft. I was a Shaman. They were way over-powered at one point. I use to kill three warriors at the same time. It felt good. I praised myself doing so. But any person that was competent would do the same with a Shaman.
I play volley ball. I react and act on instinct. I do a good play, and I am praised for it in perception of myself.
As a kid, I got into a fight because someone insulted me, after I missed on a free-throw.
I was super good at soccer. The kids in school admired and praised me for it. And is even possible to rationalize the very basis of praise?
What is the basis to any of this praise? What of it was rationally thought out and justified?
If primate to humans evolving praised what they praised and evolution favored those who were praised more, as naturally they would get children, what of it is objective.
It's all praise that simply works. We praise, but is it praiseworthy simply because we praise it? And would we praise it, if we didn't believe it's praiseworthy? Paradoxical.
