As y'all know, I bristle at divisive stereotyping. Striking me as particularly cogent in this thread I probably shouldn't have read was fresnelly's "the proof is in the pudding." Quite aside from some of the connotations of that phrase, I don't think our pudding's done yet. I think competition is a lot less useful to the species than cooperation, & that as long as we draw lines & play games that don't acknowledge that winners need losers as much as vice versa that nobody will prosper as much as they could.

...sorry for being so one-noted. It IS NOT how my parents attempted to raise me.
