Level 50 Award, Expanded Cheer Skills
Red Drummer
A noteworthy achievement for having reached level 50 might be...the level 50 player receives an expansion of cheer capacities!?
I sincerely enjoy giving praise and approval to other Rec Room players. It’s a mutually rewarding experience to generate positive emotions.
It’s nice to build each other up with praise. Thank you to the designers of this existing cheer method 🙏
Please consider this expansion of the same system:
Players would be able to praise people for additional social virtues, such as:
Compassion
Generosity & Benevolence
Kindness
Friendship
Personal Industry
Courage
Goodness
Honesty
Self Esteem
Prudence (cautiousness)
The expanded list of social virtue cheers could be found in their watch menu.
The expansion would enable more praise and “acts of approval” towards others who demonstrate socially positive virtues.
**This list of social virtues above is available in David Hume’s “On the Principles of Human Morals.”
Thank you for reading and considering

Alternatively, the level 50 could modify and specify a # of additional cheers? The level 50 could then send cheers out that represent that player’s values—which the player finds being demonstrated by others. 🤷🏻♂️ (In a more flexible sense of virtues, than Hume’s, more Nietzschean)

Update: Nietzsche, more than a hundred years later, would criticize all of this and say that the usefulness/utility of virtues is not the best way to value or rank virtues. Just because the virtue is valued by others, doesn’t determine that it should be of first rank for you!
Nietzsche further quipped: “People are best punished for their virtues.” Meaning, IMO, that other people’s set of useful virtues may actually be an unjustified burden to bare! Nietzsche prefers that the individual determines/ranks their own unique values.

Noam Chomsky, when asked if he could meet one person from history, replied, “David Hume.”

Maybe one for admiration as well?

correction: Hume also refers to these qualities or traits, as natural virtues.
Hume refers to “artificial virtues” as those that rely upon social conditioning, such as modesty or chastity. Artificial virtues are forms of social control, which vary from culture to culture.
Here’s a comprehensive list of Hume’s natural virtues:
Compassion
Generosity
Friendship
Personal Loyalty
Gratitude
Charity
Prudence
Temperance
Frugality
Industry
Courage
Ambition
Clemency
Equity
Beneficence
Pride
Self Assertiveness
Wit & Humor
Perseverance
Patience
Parental Devotion
Good Sense
Good Nature
Articulateness
Decorum
Sensitivity to Poetry
& the elusive quality that makes a person lovely or valuable.
