“Huh, I wonder why everyone is so unhappy and unstable. Hey, why is everything run so inefficiently, doesn’t anyone know how to work together anymore? Why is everything falling apart? Oh well, just human nature I guess.”

    Realized that yesterday. If I am being rational under capitalism, then that means every last person is “my competition”. In CS, you still felt a slight aura of needing to beat the other guy because there are only a small amount of jobs to go around, and their downfall is only to your benefit because that means you’re the more desirable candidate to them.
