    Default Do you agree with my thought?

    Do you agree with my thought: Competition and rivalry resulted in more achievements than cooperation and friendship?

    All of the great technological and civilization-related achievements came trough war and competition between great powers

    Because the possibility to not keep up to date with your enemies and try to become stronger in all kind of aspects could quickly end up with you being invaded.

    I think the conflicts and multiple ethnicities made the European race so superior in combat and lead to us colonize most of this planet.

    Therefor globalism or Pan-Europeanism are totally counter productive.

    It's the way of history and life after all. That would be naive to say that it hasn't had an impact on improvement.

    I think it is always a improvement in any aspect.

    For example the main reason why the free market crushed the socialist planned economy.

    I think if we get rid of corporatism and fully embrace the Austrian school of economy like in the first years after WW2 we would see a boost in technological advances and spread of wealth again

    Or another example

    The prestige of who will be the first on the moon or in space between the Soviet Union and the United states boosted the achievements incredibly, they wouldnt achieve anything like that without the competition.

    Yes I think it's self evident that competition drive innovation.

    Why people keep pushing for the exact opposite these days?

    inclusivism, equality, cooperation etc are all phrases regularly spread

    Here in germany they made the whole school system inclusive instead of exclusive or killing the free market and competiton by subsidies

    The competition of thoughts and ideas also is under attack by PC culture

    I would say its quite natural and instinctual to human nature. As you said very succinctly, it is rivalry and competition that drives innovation, technological prowess and undisputed power that brings prosperity to one's country. That inevitably crushes and silences one's enemies when it comes to countries deadlocking against one another for supremacy. Its human nature to be territorial and have in-group favoritism when it come's to one's interests, culture and its people.

    As they say, "The winners make history."
    “The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”

    - H.P. Lovecraft

    It's basically because of political correctness. Yes.

    I agree. Competition leads to progress.
