It's fantasy thinking based on the fallacious worldview that life isn't a competition.

  Life isn't a competition.

    Of course it is. That's why it's guided by natural selection and territorial acquisition.

      If you're a gazelle, or a lion, maybe. If you're human, you've benefited from millennia of cooperative work invested by your predecessors and peers.

      That's an ideology, not a fact. There is lots of evidence of cooperation, symbiosis, and eusocial behavior, all of which differ from pure competition and complicate things. Nature can be very competitive, but a lot of the time it's also lazy and harmonious and prefers slack over maxing out efficiency.

  Sexual selection is a competition. Life is more than that for some, but certainly not all humans.
