Maybe. I have spent a lot of time in collectivist cultures and I greatly prefer that. I am more of a collaborator rather than a competitor. I don't really understand why we need competition to make things happen (we can work together as a team). Nostr is a great example of this where different developers are working together to make this protocol amazing. I don't feel like I personally need competition to learn and improve. Maybe it's nice to look out at the world and see areas I can do better, but to me, that is simply a worldview 🤷‍♀️

My thought is that competition is a very Western way of thinking a lot of the time. It's often a good means of directing attention to things that maybe don't matter as much as we are indoctrinated to believe? I am always open to being wrong and there can sometimes be more than one way to achieve things tok 💛😊
