  • Competition, Suffering
     OP - May 10, 2015, 03:54 PM
    The idea here is that the systems we are a part of force us to compete and thus perpetuate suffering. Socialization only works in tempering the competitiveness of non-jerks, thus these attempts will not work in reducing suffering via competition, as jerks always rise to dominate a system regardless of socialization. Thus as dominant strategies cannot help but be competitive, ergo we are forced to compete and perpetuate suffering.

    Yeah, this argument needs polishing, but I figured I'd throw it out there anyway.

    Is this intended as an argument against God?

    Its more of an argument against humans being unable to escape from competition and hence perpetuating suffering.

    Or, if you look at it this way:

    *innovation as in progress.

    But I get what you're saying. Do you feel a spiritual void?
