1. Competition implies some kind of fair game. Theirs no game where kindergartner&#x27;s play against NFL players(what&#x27;s the point). As wealth inequality gets more and more out of hand, more and more people will just give up. Why play a game you can never win?<p>2. Addiction is a real problem. Also, addiction effects people differently so what that your brain chemistry allows you to not be addicted. A lot of people aren&#x27;t that lucky.<p>3. We don&#x27;t come out rational humans. That takes years of education&#x2F;guidance at best, it never happens at worst case.<p>As we argue about size of government and how much the poor and unskilled workers deserve of the pie, giant corporations and super high net worth individuals are running away with the game.<p>And what happens to humanity when the peasants aren&#x27;t needed anymore for the armies to keep the super rich&#x27;s wealth secure?
