> [@Eternity](#): > > Sure! i think there may be some merits to competition (especially in the economic sense ig) but overall I’m not a fan. Maybe this is a case where criticizing is easier but we’ll see. I dont think I stated my position so I should just write it. I think competition is good cuz you can use it to practice and get better at problem solving. I don’t think there’s anything wrong when competing in like a chess match. 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. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.criticalfallibilism.com/t/request-a-debate/1946)._
