Practically all evils that we face today can in some way be attributed to the principle
of "making others fail in order to win".
Alfie Kohn describes the principle of competition as
"I can only win, if you loose", mentioning examples like golf or bowling.
He describes the more extreme form of this as
"I can only win, if I make you loose", mentioning examples like tennis and war.
At least in that description I do agree with Alfie Kohn, that competition is aggression.

2012-11-01 Culture in Decline series by Peter Joseph
Another video, I recently stumbled upon, that you readers of this blog may find interesting as well.
Now, I see Peter Joseph making the Sign of the horns in the preview picture of the second video.
Besides the idea, that that may be a random coincidence and what I got to read in the Wikipedia
article pointed to about that, calmed me down, ;-)
I'm convinced, there are many points worth considering, that he brings up.
