[www.keralites.net] The most meaningless word--competition

 

The most meaningless word—competition

We consist of 10000 trillion cells. They are helped by bacteria of various varieties whose number it appears is ten times the number of our cells. The bacteria have their own DNAs.Right in every cell there are the mitichondriums, independent organisms that extract the electrons from our cells to provide the electric power that fuels our life. The mitochondrion has its own DNA.A gigantic system of cooperation, coordination, symbiosis, synthesis, and auto-poesis happens among the trillions of DNA timetables of the organisms in us with our own DNA.

If these organisms and our cells compete and fight, we die. For them competition is not possible. Each contributes its micro role.

Darwin's dictum, the survival of the fittest is not only misinterpreted, but actually the misinterpretation is implemented, leading to what is called the social Darwinism or the triumph of the rogues. In ecology there is no competition. There are only complements—things that complete.

The worst effect of this concept of competition is in Economics, where a huge super structure of unreality has been built as equilibrium analysis, monopoly, duopoly, oligopoly, poly-poly..., my God, the tentacles of the unreality have been made real—the reality of basic unreality. They have created the economic man, a mechanized phantom who has no emotions! Can economics be cut from human psychology? How are the functioning economies different from the actions we see in mass psychology?

The very concept of competition has created the stampede of greed, leaving no place to the basic human character—altruism.

Is it not high time to remove egoistic selfishness as the fundamental base of economics? Instead of equilibrium analysis can we not have cooperation, coordination, team spirit etc analyses—say the social synergy analysis? After all, competition ultimately means, the act of depriving the others and cornering for you everything.

According to James Lovelock, our Earth is a living organism. Living organisms need health. After all when a person dies, 1, 00,000 trillion bacteria in him also die, a mass extinction. Now what is the system of life of the organism---Earth? Frankly we do not know. But within us, lives sprout because we are living. Those life forms actually help us in living. A dead body also creates the putrefying bacteria. Now what are we doing, the work of making the living earth live or doing the putrefying work? Where is economics taking mother earth?
