Competition is a good thing when it's ultimately collaborative. If a hunter-gatherer competes with other hunters for the kill, they drive each other to succeed while feeding their tribe all the same. I have competitions with my coworkers to design garden beds, and the result is four thoughtful designs instead of one design by committee. We all work hard toward implementing the winner's design because we all agree with their value system.
