A mathematician from West Virginia named, John Nash, developed the theory related to competitive game theory. His theory applied to negotiation says that the optimum solution is to always seek the global optimum. This is a cooperative approach. This is a fundamental shift from our nature that we ingrain into our children, competition. We train our children to compete often against their nature. This competition creates a desire to win. Winning is praised by our culture. Winning implies someone is losing. So we promote dominating others, which goes against God's way, love. Love is a giving concept where competition encourages taking. So we work against God.
What if there were a world where all that competitive energy were focused on pure creation? Competition is a function of dominating or destruction. If we could focus our competitive energy on collaborative efforts working for the collective good, think of the productivity gain. We by nature have a urge to create and destroy. If we can focus our competitive (destructive) energies on cooperating in ways that channel our efforts to the collective good, we would see an immediate increase in our productivity. Long term the gains are huge.
