You just argued that running (100m, marathon, etc) is not competitive, that weightlifting is not competitive, that bowling is not competitive, that target shooting is not competitive. Just achievements.
That's fine, you can humpty-dumpty words all you like, but everyone else thinks that those things can be competitive.
However, note that literally the entire point of the author of the blog post is that he doesn't want to be competitive and does not see his own behaviour as competitive, but rather as collaborating on achievement, so it's super weird that you're snarking on him.
- Dylan16807 5y agoIf you controlled any of those sports with deterministic multiple choice actions then they wouldn't be competitive.
- thissuchness 5y agoIs trying to beat the highest depth of stockfish in chess not competitive? It is a sequence of deterministic, open-information multiple-choice actions.
- Dylan16807 5y agoChess is absolutely competitive! It's not that deterministic, multiple choice games can't be competitive, it's that they need different things from your average solo sport to make them competitive.

Just achievements. Absolutely not. You misread my argument (whether intentionally or unintentionally). > That's fine, you can humpty-dumpty words all you like, but everyone else thinks that those things can be competitive. You can humpty-dumpty words all you like, but "everyone" is just you.
