Hmm...did I come here and read because you said NTodd had said something about patriarchy you couldn't answer?
that would be patriarchism I guess. bad xan, bad bad xan.
Competition always exists because life is about scarcity. There is never Enough, starting with food.
I always thought the most revolutionary bit of technology on Star Trek wasn't the warp drive or tricorder or even transporters, but the humble replicator. (admittedly a spinoff of transporter technology or at least closely related.) Give everybody enough food, and assurance that they will always have Enough with no limit whatever and...what would life be like?
Competition would no doubt continue with other goals but the object would be gratification of the ego, not the belly. And the consequences of losing would be something other than death.

Is this part of the patriarchy, then?
Yes, we blog because we can.
Actually, we blog because we MUST. We have an imperative to communicate.
