Re: Meaning of Competitive?

This has become a very competetive converstion.
I almost made the same point earlier. I find it ironic that people want to argue over explicit definitions instead of being willing to discuss how one explicit definition can actually be helpful or instrumental to the learning process. Instead people jump on and call everyone losers who acknowledge what they're doing as appropriate competition . How ironic, indeed.

Tarik, Just because it violates your personal understanding doesn't make it wrong.
Certainly not. What makes it wrong is that it violates the current consensus of theory and observation in today's comprehension of nature.

Please look into Master Fukuoka's texts 'Mu Farming" or 'The One Straw Revolution' before you attempt a discussion about what I should know about nature and how it works. After that, we can talk. Until then, keep scarfing the meat.
Working more efficiently with natures own processes (which include competition) does not change how nature works.
