On: The True Rate of Unemployment

[hnfong]

I disagree that it is human nature. At least not generally speaking.

There are people who are innately competitive. And there are people who don't care.

I'd argue that a lot of people are apparently competitive because of social pressures. You'll have to discount the effects of modern society on people's minds before you could make a claim on what human nature actually is like.

Modern society only exists because pre-modern people were so competitive. While a minority might not care, the majority of people in every society constantly compete for status. Always have, always will.
