    Since as humans we essentially rule the earth, it makes a lot of sense for us to adapt to a new reality that shouldn’t need fear.

    But that’s assuming we wouldn’t just spend all our time competing with each other in a negative sum game.

      Isn’t competition in the US just another way of fearing being a less than person? I’ve known healthy competitors that just compete with themselves, but it’s rare.

        Not sure what you mean, but yes hyper competitiveness leads to less value for human life.

        My point was that it’s a negative sum game, we are all competing with each other in an unhealthy manner, in which we are all poorer collectively as a result.

        And it’s not even helping evolution since merit isn’t correlated to financial success.

          I’m saying that competitiveness usually also comes from fear.

          My point was that it’s a negative sum game, we are all competing with each other in an unhealthy manner, in which we are all poorer collectively as a result.

          100% agree
