Episode 310: Why are People So Competitive?
Scenario 1:
Kalākaua noticed his neighbor working on a project every evening for 5 years. He finally asked what she was working on so consistently all these years. She told him she is building a time machine. Kalākaua responded that he thinks his will be finished in 1 year from now. Do you think this will force his neighbor to finish her project faster or will she try and collaborate with him?
Scenario 2:
Lé is a proponent of “by any means necessary.” He tells his colleagues that without countries competing for domination, we would not have things like GPS or the internet. Do you think he is out of his mind or has an interesting point?
Scenario 3:
Supakarn wants her child to do well on an entry exam to a prestigious school that her niece attends. She is thinking of making an endowment to the school before the test date. Do you think Supakarn is too competitive?
