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)

Strong Nuclear Force - Force Of Nature.

What is a Strong Force?  Strong force is one of the four fundamental forces of the universe. Other forces are gravitational force, weak force, and electromagnetic force. Also, as the name suggests, it is the strongest of all four forces, 100 times stronger than electromagnetic force, million times stronger than weak nuclear force, and 100 trillion trillion trillion times stronger than gravity. The strong force acts at a very, very small distance only, it has a very short range. The strong force is responsible for keeping the nucleons (protons and neutrons) together inside the nucleus of an atom. Credit: Science facts The strong force is responsible for The strong force is responsible for holding proton-proton and proton-neutron together in the nucleus. The nucleus is a dense region of the atom around which the electrons form an electron cloud. Since protons are positively charged, they repel each other. But this repulsion is neutralized, and protons are held together with this stro...

The Electrifying Life of Michael Faraday: From Apprentice to Scientific Giant.

In the annals of scientific history, few names shine as brightly as Michael Faraday. A man of humble beginnings, Faraday's life journey is a testament to the power of curiosity, determination, and unquenchable passion for science. His groundbreaking work in the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry revolutionized the world, earning him a place as one of the most influential experimentalists of the 19th century. Join us as we embark on a journey through the electrifying life of Michael Faraday. Early Life and Struggles Michael Faraday was born on September 22, 1791, in Newington Butts, Surrey, England. He was the third of four children born to a blacksmith and his wife. Faraday's family lived in poverty, and his early education was minimal. He left school at the age of 13 to work as an errand boy, and his prospects for a bright future seemed dim. However, his relentless thirst for knowledge would soon set him on a remarkable path. The Turning Point Faraday's life t...

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...
