Competitive, Western Behaviour
[quote]Like a tug-of-war between two teams, highly competitive
individuals strongly yearn for success and they make every
effort to beat their rivals. Given this motivation, how do such
competitors allocate resources? In particular, do competitive
individuals care for opponents' interests, or do they only
strive to maximize their own gains? Additionally, are
competitive individuals more likely to endorse manipulation as a
means to surpass others? These questions motivated this study.
We aim to expand the understanding of competitiveness.
Specifically, we examine how competitive individuals perform in
hypothetical resource allocation games and the relationships
between competitiveness and Machiavellianism.
As an individual difference, competitiveness was first studied
in sports (Triplett, 1898) and its construct has been gradually
expanded. Hyper-competitiveness (i.e. competing to win; CW)
constitutes a neurotic need to win at any cost to maintain a
sense of self-worth and power (Horney, 1937). Hyper-competitive
individuals exhibit a strong desire to compete; and winning
strengthens their self-esteem and feeling of superiority over
others. They regard rivals as enemies and might use unfair
strategies to win (Orosz et al., 2018). Studies have
investigated how competitiveness relates to the Big Five
personality traits. For instance, CW is positively related to
neuroticism but negatively related to agreeableness (Fletcher &
Nusbaum, 2008; Ross et al., 2003). Additionally, CW is
positively associated with dominance (Ryckman et al., 1996) and
aggressive driving behavior (Houston et al., 2003). Thus, CW is
regarded as unhealthy competitiveness (Ryckman et al., 2009).
In contrast to the more extreme CW, a broader type of
competitiveness – general competitiveness (i.e. competing to
surpass; CS) was introduced later. CS indicates a desire to win
in interpersonal situations but does not stress a neurotic need
(Spence & Helmreich, 1978) like CW does. CS is a potentially
adaptive characteristic in varied occupations. Some studies have
investigated the relationships between CS and other personality
traits. For example, it is found that CS is positively related
to neuroticism (e.g., anxiety and anger facets) and extraversion
(e.g., assertiveness and excitement-seeking facets) but
negatively related to agreeableness (Fletcher & Nusbaum, 2008).
...
Research consistently indicates that CW and Machiavellianism are
positively related in Western culture (e.g., Houston, Queen, et
al., 2015; Mudrack et al., 2012).[/quote]

Western Capitalist and Liberalist Economic Systems make a
Rightist Darwinian Way of Life Continuing
[quote]While the law [of competition] may be sometimes hard for
the individual, it is best for the race, because it insures the
survival of the fittest in every department. We accept and
welcome, therefore, as conditions to which we must accommodate
ourselves, great inequality of environment, the concentration of
business, industrial and commercial, in the hands of the few,
and the law of competition between these, as being not only
beneficial, but essential for the future progress of the
race[/quote]

[quote]To aid the bad in multiplying is, in effect, the same as
maliciously providing for our descendants a multitude of
enemies. Institutions which 'foster good-for-nothings' commit an
unquestionable injury because they put a stop to that natural
process of elimination by which society continually purifies
itself.[/quote]

Western Moral Rightism : Eugenics
[quote][s]Christianity[/s] Judeo-Christianity and Eugenics:
Eugenics (from Greek εὖ (eû, “well”) +
γένος (génos, “born”)) is the
improvement of the human population via artificial selective
pressure; through methods such as: selective breeding,
sterilisation, genetic screening and segregation. While we speak
of artificial means, eugenics is a naturally occurring process
(albeit significantly slower) that has refined and improved the
human population since our creation.
The philosophy of artificial eugenics was first developed by
Francis Galton (Charles Darwin's cousin) and inspired by his
cousin's theory of evolution. Eugenics works on the basic
principle of increasing reproduction of ‘desirables’ and
decreasing reproduction of ‘undesirables.’
While there are moral and biblically sound methods of eugenic
artificial selective pressure, such as those prior listed, there
are extremely immoral methods that contradict scripture, such as
murder, through euthanasia, culling and abortion.
Murder, especially that of children (abortion), is wicked,
depraved and under no circumstances is a biblically acceptable
method of eugenics [Genesis 9:6, Job 24:14]; however
preventative methods that stop the initial creation of
undesirable offspring without any harm, is acceptable.
Eugenics was widely and openly practiced in the Western World in
the early 20th century with major support from Christians who
biblically justified it on the following principles:
—Honouring God’s Image— (Eugenics forbidden to alter our
morphology and anatomy. [Genesis 1:27])
—Prevention of Suffering— (Responsibility to prevent suffering
brought on by poor genetic health and disorders, which are all
the product of mutations after our creation. [Acts 10:38; Luke
9:2])
—Stewardship of Creation— (Safeguarding God’s creation [Genesis
1] includes maintaining the ecological balance of the natural
world, which includes population improvement, which is already
employed for flora and fauna for increased usefulness and
condition hardening.)
—Healthfulness— (Responsibility to maintain the health of our
bodies, including genetic health.)
—God's Laws of Nature— (In nature the fitter better perpetuate
their genes among their population which makes the population
fitter.)
—Be Fruitful and Multiply— (The reckless breeding of the unfit
is not fruitful, God created Adam as a thoroughbred which shined
over the world like a light among the darkness as the pinnacle
of His creation. [Genesis 1:28; 9:1,7])
Why should eugenics be employed for mankind?
Increased intelligence, ancestral purification, improved
athletic ability, removal of genetic disorders, improved natural
health, increased quality of life, increased life expectancy,
decreased artificial health needs, decreased dietary and water
requirements, improved immune system, increased resiliency to
diseases, increased resiliency to climate and extreme
temperatures, as well many other benefits.[/quote]

Western Eugenic Culture Rise Again
[quote]After the Second World War, a kind of insanity took over
that is only now beginning to fade. The title of the Times
article I started with is a question: Should we optimize human
life? Of course we should. That’s what education, health care,
culture, and technology are all about. You could argue that if
we have the means to improve our species, we have a duty to
improve it.
What has held us back for decades is the fear that if we start
taking human genetics seriously again, we can no longer pretend
there aren’t genetic differences between races. We’ve even gone
through a period when we’re supposed to pretend that race has
nothing to do with genes or biology — that it’s a “social
construct.”

When’s the last time professors and journalists tried to make us
believe anything so colossally stupid?
And even now, we’re supposed to worry that only rich white
people can afford embryo selection, so our intolerable racial
gaps will get even more intolerable. The Times article calls
this prospect “dystopian.”

Even so, after decades of deliberate ignorance, I see signs of
light.[/quote]
