Cooperation seems to me to be a far superior mode than competition when the goal is advancing human potential, knowledge, and prosperity. While competition has it's place it seems that as a society we've emphasized competition to the exclusion of everything else. All I'm saying is some balance is necessary. Hello,

Life is neither a highway nor a sport. Cooperation seems to me to be a far superior mode than competition when the goal is advancing human potential, knowledge, and prosperity. While competition has it’s place it seems that as a society we’ve emphasized competition to the exclusion of everything else. All I’m saying is some balance is necessary.

Competition must be fair, or it's nothing more than anarchy. I really like your 4 competition enticements, but I tend to think that 1, 3, and 4, would be pretty meaningless without #2, unless, of course, we're talking about a non-profit organization. I've worked for employers who rewarded monetarily for helping them improve the bottom line, and that was a far sight better than the ones who give you a certificate of some type while only the executives' pockets get padded. (While they're certainly within their <em>rights</em> to do so, it's certainly not motivational.) Thanks for another thought-provoking read, John. Enjoyed the first part of Episode 3 last night and looking forward to finishing this evening.
