Now that I read this, I’m not sure if Im a big fan of competition either. I practice it sometimes, but the times I made it a habit, it became too stressful to maintain.

After briefly reading @Eternity’s post, I think I don’t know a lot about competition. I think I’ll make mistakes understanding some points when responding. Also, I don’t know if I fully agree with my own position from the other thread:

If you’re competing against someone in like [chess.com](http://chess.com) then i dont think there’s something inherently wrong there. Like, even if you lose, I think you dont actually lose something of value. Here, I’m recalling Ayn Rand’s quote about rational men interacting with each other. I dont remember but something about there being no loss between them.

Also, I don’t know what rationality methods to use and how to make them helpful. Like, when should I use a grammar tree? Do I want to use a grammar tree to analyze something? A part of me thinks I’ll only get a small amount of info to use for the debate.

I think I still want to respond to a few parts and maybe express a disagreement. Maybe I can show an error of mine or say something that helps with the topic.
