COMPETITION!


COMPETITION

Competition occurs when there is scarcity. For example. There is only one banana and there are 3 monkeys, 3 monkeys fight for that one banana Or it occurs out of greed, Let's take the same example. There is only one banana and 3 monkeys. But this time, one monkey already has one banana but still, he is fighting for that one banana. Because he is greedy. Here I want to emphasize that greed is not negative (nor positive). But now, the question arises at this time ie 20th-century humans have infinite resources than any other generation before, but there is still competition in the world. Why?

 First of all, is competition bad? I don't know. But I know one thing for sure, that competition arises out of scarcity. Sense of lack. Greed is a form of lack. According to me having the mindset of all sum-game. looking at life, and its resources as abandoned and exuberant, Is far better than the mindset of competition.

 Some people may argue that competition helps to improve, but I have a question for them. To improve what? Isn't getting out of competition the biggest improvement?


Competition is actually a zero-sum game. Let's consider competition which is one of the hot topics of this time which is competitive exams. These competitions exist Because there are very few seats and everyone wants to be a doctor, or IIT pass-out (not an engineer). Now, For the time being, imagine that there are seats available for every student writing exams. Let's just open the gates. Now what happens is everyone will become a doctor or IITans and will be no other professions like business, vendor, shopkeeper, Carpenter, driver, etc. This will create a very unstable society and create a lot of Chaos. So the problem is in the mindset. Every job/occupation in our society is not equally respected. 

Do you think you don't need cleaners? Do you really think that?

We need them.

Then why it's not a well-deserving job to do? Then why can't one leave a financially rich life being cleaner or a watchman? Why don't these job gets the status that they actually have?

Competition is a result of a sense of scarcity in this abundant world. Life is not a dimension of scarcity rather its a dimension of abundance.


(Disclaimer: These thoughts are based on my present understanding and THIS IS FROM A STANDPOINT. My understanding may change. don't take it too seriously)

Gyroplane, A fascinating plane that can become your Taxi.

The aviation industry is full of fascinating and interesting machines with unique designs, capabilities, and mechanisms. Among these Gyroplane or Autogyro holds a unique place as it bothers some features of fixed-wing planes and some features of helicopters and becomes a perfect blend for a low-speed aircraft with high fuel efficiency and better stability and control. using very interesting phenomena like auto rotation to spin its top rotor and produce lift. So in this blog, we will be discussing what is autogyro? how does an autogyro work? and the future of autogyro. What is AutoGyro or Gyroplane? A gyroplane or autogyro (from the Greek word meaning ('self turning'), is a heavier-than-air aircraft that uses a rotor usually to the rare of the fuselage called pusher configuration to produce thrust. Autogyro uses an engine to power its rare rotor, which creates the forward motion of the airplane by pushing the air backward. To produce lift it uses another rotor, which, unlike a h...

You can never be satisfied if you are not satisfied NOW.

You can never be satisfied if you are not satisfied NOW. One reason for this is that there is no future, no past, no present just NOW, And every feeling, emotion, and dissatisfaction is just the changes in NOW. So if you're not satisfied now, you can never be satisfied ever again. Another reason is that our life will not change as drastically as we think in our imagination, even after we achieve whatever we want, or whatever we think will change our life. There will be changes, but they seem tiny and small over a period of time. So, learning to be completely satisfied with now and not relying on your hopes for the changes in now is the most important skill. And understand this, that there might be a kind of FOMO (fear of missing out) we will always have, and it's not an unrealistic one. Like, if we choose to do business, we are automatically negating all the other possible career options, And it can be applied to any other aspect of life, like marriage. If you get married to on...

Atom To Cell.

In this blog, we will discuss about the difference between the atom and the cell. Why atom is not the fundamental unit of life? and a journey of an atom to a cell. Firstly, what is the difference between an atom and a cell?  Atom is the fundamental unit of the entire matter, whereas cell is the fundamental unit of living matter. which means every cell is made up of atoms, whereas every atom is not a cell. Size of atom vs the size of cell The size of the atom ranges between 10 to the power minus 14 meters i.e. picometer (pm) to 10 to the power of minus 10 meters i.e. Armstrong. To visualize it, magnify an apple to that of the size of Earth, And now the size of the original apple is probably the size of an atom of this giant apple (from the book: six easy pieces). Whereas the size of the cell ranges between 10 to the power of minus 6 meters i.e. micrometers to 10 to the power of minus 2 meters i.e. centimeters. The overall conclusion about the size of atoms and cells is that an atom ...
