Why is competition in almost everything?
>You want to get a girlfriend? You got to be more attractive than other males.
>You want to get into a good school and get a good job? You got to be smarter than other students and workers.
>You want to be rich? You got to make more money than other people.

Yes, competition is in nature too but to what degree is competition totally dictatorial of our lives? 90%? 100%? How can anyone possibly imagine having a peaceful world when living in this inherently unfair existence where your success in life only depends on the failures of others and not everyone has a chance to ever make it to the top?

men tried to solve this, women wouldn't let them. It works for a couple of generations and then it reverts to what we have now. Women can not tolerate male co-operation, it's literally hardwired into their instincts to act against it.

You're loading some pretty big assumptions here. It seems like you have constructed or bought into a belief system that only concedes a life worth living as one where you have a highly prestigious career, have more money than most people and have a girlfriend, aka "succesful". These are made up metrics. The real issue here is not how unfair it is to participate in the contest to attain all of this, but that you believed it is a meaningful endeavor in the first place.

"But what could be more meaningful than that?" you might ask. But only yourself can answer that. Meaning is a human construct and as such it can only come from within, not the world. Therefore you must ask "what do I want?" and to the answer ask "why?" over and over. Leave no stone unturned, give yourself no quarter, no easy outs and you'll see how your beliefs crumble. Let this personality be destroyed and whatever remains after, that must be your authentic desire.

Anyone who knows themselves would not lose sleep for even a blink thinking about success measured by the world.

Being in the game is the point.

That is the nature of life. Sadly, these past 25 years, the competition for everything has gotten ten times worse; thanks to globalism, the internet, and fuck apps. Life was unironically better during the Cold War.

Congrats, OP - you woke up
Like you said, competition is inherent in nature and whether you wanna play the game or not, it's not up to you

You were born, you're a player now
Either you win or you lose - nothing else matters
But the funny part is that, at the end of the day, you're the one who sets your own victory/losing condition

Pretty much, that's why I get my fill of cooperation from videogames. Unless you consider people going together against bots another type of competition

lmao so you've just admitted you're below average in so many areas that you can't even compete against asians and browns and blacks en masse.

It's more about not being willing to work like a slave for pennies, as (some of) the browns do, which undercuts Westerners severely.
Also, the sell-out elites outsourced any work or industry of any real value to Red Chinese slaves anyway. Those jobs are never coming back.

It is 100% competition. That's why psychopaths thrive here, they play the rules well and find loopholes when appropriate.

Human society has always been Darwinist and socialism was the only attempt to stop that
