Thread Name: BS: The need to win
Subject: RE: BS: The need to win
When you define a game as having a zero-sum, in which one gains in proportion to another's losing, you are already losing.
Winning is very healthy, but it does not actually involve making others wrong or conquering.
The obsession to be right and to make others wrong is the big hurdle that has to be overcome before winning across the boards can actually happen.
