I should read the OP, for as a quick comment, for me it comes down to cooperation versus competition. And for cooperation to succeed, there needs to be effective communication and a shared understanding (albeit not necessarily or even desirably "perfect" and without diverging opinions). P.S. I was interrupted by a phone call. The other point I wanted to make, building off of the above, is that humans have created more and more complex results through cooperation than competition alone. I view cooperation as an essential part of modern society and progress.
