"the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one"

"the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one"

- Mr. Spock from the movie Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

We need to agree on some definitions before we can discuss what's going on in the world, much less what to do about it.

What we have now is "the desires of the few or the one outweigh the needs of the many."

Can we even agree that "the needs of the many outweigh the desires of the few or the one?"

If so, can even fair (sociopath-less) competition ever result in the "the needs of the many outweighing the desires of the one or the few?"

I hope so, but don't know, because we've always had to deal with the sociopaths.

So we don't really know if we need to compete and/or cooperate synergistically.

To paraphrase Shakespeare, to compete and/or not compete, "that is the question?"
