You know me. Always looking for a challenge.

I completely agree about the zero game thing. The zero game fallacy has been debunked over and over again. Nonetheless, what i mean in my statement is that, at least momentarily and on specific domains one will have to fail and another will succeed. This is best illustrated with the fact that today 2/3 of the world do not have shelter, food and water on a daily basis but due to recent developments capitalism, they are better of compared to 100 years ago. Even though they are used extensively from western development, within their societies they prosper competing on their "level". The loser is this case is algorithmically defined from our level but this does not apply in their own level.

As far as company cultures go, most of them operate on that rule. It is not the exception. Its all good in theory with seminars and all but in practise is extremely hard to apply due to the high volatility of human nature

When i said " we enjoy hurting others" i meant that in a given situation where our values are threatened ( e.g children) we will enjoy the act of defensive killing of those who threaten them due to the transference of our emotion into something as pure as defending children. This is exactly how all atrocities take place. They are acts of presumed benevolent defence but in the neutral eye they appear horrific.
