    (I have thought of 2 examples one  – good the other – bad)

     

    :good: GOOD – A – relation to idk winning at a game, yes it is fair as it shows a point to not given up to be the best.

     

    :negative: BAD – B – relation to a business, i think there needs to be rules, like if some millionaire or billionaire, makes there business better by not copying others, as that is plagiarism, but I mean doing something similar to some person trying to make a business, then i don’t think that competition is fair, as it means the person trying to start a business, will be crushed by the big company/s.

    You do need competition, but this American propaganda whitewashes it. Was this a tract by the Ayn Rand Appreciation Society for High Schools?

    There was a philosopher called Robert Nozick (Anarchy, State and Utopia) who used to peddle this type of bullshit. I remember on episode of The Sopranos which demolished his arguments in a few sentences.

    Cooperation, not competition, has to be the basis of a decent society. This doesn’t mean suppressing competition, but the above is aimed at suppressing cooperation.

    I didn’t actually read it in full, but yes what you type makes perfect sense and has steered me in the right direction. I have never looked at it that way, in terms of cooperation and competition opposing each other, which just goes to show I need to and yes you can learn on this site after all.

    OK, we’ve concluded that Dixie didn’t write the opening post herself (can someone provide a link to the source?). There’s no need for that fact to lead to an argument. Let’s keep this on topic.

    The only competition any one should be concerned about is with one’s self. Most are concerned with being better than any one else. Change the perception, you’ll change the world.

    Personally, im not a competitive person. When i worked in credit control and it was ” the person who brings in the most cash today wins a bottle of wine”, i never used to try.
    Some people are very naturally driven and competitive, but it just leaves me cold.
