An economic system based more on competition than collaboration will not only fail to solve humanity’s greatest challenges over the next 100 years. It actually created most of them & if allowed to will perpetuate them. We need a fundamental disruption of our economic status quo.

It's an inevitable duality. The World has also seen poverty continue to drop dramatically before covid. Collaboration and competition aren't mutually exclusive. Utopia is derived from the Latin for "nowhere". And every "great plan" is a tradeoff at some point.

Stalin had arable land and people to farm it If you were correct, then Russians would have (at least) been fed. Russia only had breadlines and starvation.

such a disruption is impossible without overthrowing capitalism. no amount of regulation will solve the crises perpetuated by capitalism in time to save humanity.

What Marianne Williamson Gets Wrong About Competition | Patrick Carroll

Marianne Williamson recently called for more collaboration and less competition in our economic system. But the opposite of collaboration isn’t competition. It’s coercion.

Competition breeds competence. Only competition and competence will solve our challenges......

Competition is what creates efficiency, and efficient production is what creates wealth. Collaboration is what bureaucracies do, and they suck at everything. This is exactly the thinking that creates bread lines and scarcity. Maybe get off Twitter and read a book.
