I don’t care much for competition.
I grew up bullied by jocks. I never really liked team sports.
I was a smart kid, but I didn’t like how the other smart kids competed with each other for grades.
When I was learning mandolin, bluegrass musicians welcomed me with open arms. There was no competition among players like I observed in the rock and roll world.
Competing always felt bad and not competing felt good.
When I studied Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, I learned about competition in an evolutionary sense.
It turns out, most organisms avoid competition at all costs. Competition only really occurs when resources become limiting and things get tight.
Mostly, organisms will choose to not compete if they can.
Cooperation is actually a more successful strategy.
Yet, competition reigns in our capitalistic world of winners and losers.
Here’s a link to an episode I dedicated to competition.
This week I compare competition with cooperation and suggest a pathway to the future of human kind.
