rather then having that compatition stem from war, wouldn't you rather have it stem from a need to prove who's best to for the sake of being best ?
you do know what the internet started out as ... right ?
and who needs stuff like satellites or jet engines. 
its not justifying.
its stating facts.
compatition breeds evolution, be it natural or technological.
i say, why wait for the reason for that compatition to be WAR.
why not have it simply be an inherent need to prove who's best. |
Competition is one way to breed evolution, but at the same time, it tries hard to push for it, force it out in people to a point where it's not natural for them to be so productive.
Being able to accept differences or varying pov's is another way to evolve as human beings. We've created many, many things thanks to competition, but even with that, all the things humans have created over time wouldn't have come to be without the cooperation of a group of people. It's not just one person who creates computers, machines, etc. There's a whole process involved in the creation of anything, and some people are better at a certain process than others.
It's when people work together that they truly excel at what they do, and it is when people don't push themselves so hard through competition that they can be more productive over longer time periods. Always trying to push beyond the limit of what people are capable of have negative effects on society as a whole as well, and that's part of the reasons why wars take place.
