i don't know why you were downvoted. I mentioned basically the same in another comment, you can't just turn off competition between humans. Competition is a fundamental component of all known life. You can opt out but then complaining that the rest of humanity has not chose to opt out isn't really fair.

I think the argument is that "grinders" are doing themselves a disservice? I.e. a competitive strategy would be to make your competitors burn out and cheer the chrunch culture while you yourself slack off.

  The competitive strategy idea does work - except for there is a singular you/me and endless competition (humans looking to advance themselves)

Because without cooperation you don’t get the internet, you don’t get compilers, you don’t get HTML on top of C. And humans are strongly biased towards cooperation. Saying everything eats each other is flat wrong about people. Better to understand cooperation and competition as two ends on a continuum of “how to allocate people to solve problems”.
