Alertism

The common practise of identifying a problem without even attempting to suggest a solution.

This can range from tangible problems (e.g. a broken cupboard door that is simply flagged to housemates via WhatsApp) to more intangible problems (e.g. a therapist merely pointing out toxic behaviours without offering suggestions for how to change those behaviours and/or what aspirational healthy behaviours could look like).

Those that practice this often feel that through identifying a problem they have done their bit or done enough. In reality, without the follow-through, the problem remains but we just see it more clearly.
The difference between The Great Hack and The Social Dilemma is that the latter actually offered a solution - the former was just one great big exercise in alertism.
