In my experience, young children know that empathy and competing are incompatible with each other.

It's us adults, in our ignorance, who make them do it anyway & condition them to become blind to the hypocrisy.

2 #Quotes I liked by @messaroundmarx

#Quote 1
"The most difficult question for a social #transformation will probably be how we change from competing lone warriors to cooperating individuals who are turned towards each other in the knowledge that our own well-being depends on the well-being of our fellow humans."

#Quote 2
"The problem is: Even if a majority realized it, most people couldn't imagine a viable alternative. #Capitalist categories are so deeply internalized in our minds that a non-authoritarian alternative is not conceivable for most of us!"

I love to explore plot-driven RPGs immersing myself in their stories. Or challenge myself to built something in sandboxes like Minecraft or Scrap Mechanic ...or just drive around virtual cities of open-world racing games, customizing cars to really feel like they're mine.

I'm nowhere near enjoying #microtransactions or #GrindingSkills and I don't understand why today's world is so focused in #competing with itself and #monetizing everything, including user-generated content. [2/2]

In the paper Krüger & Wirth (2011) we elucidate various biologically interesting phenomena based on the #mite #Sarraceniopus #nipponensis (#Histiostomatidae) that is bound to life within the pitchers of carnivorus #Sarracenia plants (#Ericales).
we have also dealt intensively with the #lifecycle and details of the #prematingbehavior. The attached #SEM photo shows two #males apparently #competing for the #mateguarding privilege with a #female #tritonymph.
