Surely
the intention to win plays a role in nature. We see two male bulls
fight for dominance, we see both males and females compete for mating
choices.
To
what extant does the desire to win play in human nature and indeed
human social/administrative evolution?
Winning appears to be a shared strategic goal of all participants/points
of view in the game of life. We can all agree and see that we
all want to win, and no matter the ideology which inflicts
anyone, no matter how sophisticated or crude, the individual's desire
to win and attain is mutually shared amongst all of us from entrepreneur
to gangster, to banker to political crook.
There
appears to be three basic winning 'scripts' that encompass the perception
and strategy in full.
1.)I
want to win - you will lose.
2.)I
will lose so that you can win.
3.)We
can both win/attain this together.
'Winning'
can be academically observed as an historically functioning desire
and uber design in human nature/society, as Princeton Scholar, Science
and Philosophy Journalist and bloggingheads.tv
founder Robert Wright points out in his book; Non
Zero, the Logic of Human Destiny. link
Natural
selection, evolutionary psychology and intelligent strategy can
be potentially understood as two polarized and coupled distinctions
of 'winning' that we seem to seek/desire as players in the game
of life.
Both
are grounded in our direct experience as human beings engaged in
the human hiSTORY.
One
can be chosen by chance or fate to win, as if one can win the lottery,
or be born beautiful into a wealthy and famous lifestyle like Paris
Hilton.
The
other can be determined by ourselves as individuals. Michael
Phelps is now the biggest Olympic winner in history.
Both
Paris Hilton and Michael Phelps, in a material/superficial but easy
to understand sense, can both be said to be 'winning' yet
the road to their win is completely distinguished by what I refer
to as the
‘Chosen One’ and the
‘Victorious One’ strategy.
Obviously,
The ‘Chosen One’ winning experience
is the type of satisfaction that we have when we are deemed appropriate
for a certain game, function, prize, or task. Fate or chance chooses/picks
us!
We
love being the chosen. We want to be chosen. Many are called
but few are chosen. We all hear about the ‘elite’
and certainly want to get in at those parties.
The
next distinction, ‘The Victorious One’,
is clearly the type of winning we seek when we have obstacles to
over come on our road to success.
We win only when we overcome those obstacles and achieve
our ideals.
Intention.
The
victorious WILL.
Attainment.
Accomplishment.
The
realization of ideals worked and fought for.
No
one chose this path for us, we created it for ourselves. Friggin'
Rocky Balboa.
Consider;
Human fighting may be the game of winning to be the victorious one,
and mating may be the game of winning the chosen one.
These
distinctive qualities of game and strategy may quietly organize,
and most certainly influence, all of human civilization.
The
Secret Chief of human society may be nothing more than The Mating
Game.
Getting
back to the most foundational basics for survival. We literally
viral market our DNA into the future via the mating game.
As
we can see, no mating would equal no people, therefore, this strategy
is clearly the most effective of all, there always seems to be more
and more of us.
The
sexual and mating game of life divides, adds, and multiplies the
herd and then organizes, distinguishes between male and female,
and all the possible roles and adaptions from there.
Consider
that this successful strategy utlized by nature is an organizing
principle that has exalted into an ‘all sides win’ synergy
that has evolved into perfect and precise application and function
in human being's social order as Romantic Games
between intelligent and humorous adults seeking thrill, survival,
and adaptation in the game of life.
Step
one in the game; two partners have ‘chosen’ each other.
This
process may be different for distinct cultures, but the main process
I am referring to here has existed in every culture. A man and a
women desire each other and then mate, sometimes like rabbits.
We don’t have to be aware that nature is using this very 'administrative'
process to move the species forward for a woman to get pregnant
when she mates with a man. Indeed, according to our anthropologists,
there was a time in human history when man and woman did not know
that sex equaled baby. Some of us still don't.
Just
because our genes want to make little duplications does not mean
we experience a laboratory reality when we kiss on the first encounter
or spoon up for an early morning snog. What we experience is quit
different and more direct to our individual and cellular needs.
To
wit; Human Being wants to mate for the winning experience it brings,
not necessarily the little package that comes with it.
One
could immediately argue that this is the first observable win win
non zero sum game between our 'genes' and our sentience or experience
in being.
What
happens that we can observe at the moment of conception?
The
sperm's strategy is ALL FOR ONE. The egg's strategy is ONE FOR ALL.
At
the moment of male ejaculation,
the entire gaming principles of nature begins orchestration in perfect
and beautiful concert, the millions of sperm cells joyously released
into the womb of the wanting female.
Talk
about mission impossible. The sperm cells must take on the most
perilous of journeys, they must fight upstream, bend through twists
and turns, avoiding chemical attacks, killer cells, dodge the ‘fighting’
sperm cells that band in packs and vicious gangs. If anyone has
ever seen any footage of this process, they can see that it is a
wonder how any woman could get pregnant at all.
The
small collection of ‘victorious sperm’, out of the 4
million, have won the journey to the inner secret chamber. Our little
Indiana Joneses have just barely made it through the Temple of Doom.
They
finally collect around the beautiful and luscious egg invoking relative
to us as the most incredible desire imaginable beholden on a single
object. Talk about the search for the Holy Grail, the egg is something
indeed that many where called for but few were chosen.
The
luscious vibrating egg collects her victorious ones around
her. All the fighting, conflict and struggle of sperm VS sperm on
the road to her riches, all the fighting to deliver to the female
the best set of genes, the *best idea* for the future species, are
rendered irrelevant at the whims of the egg.
The
egg tends to choose one single solitary sperm out of the frantic
crowd that surrounds her luscious walls like the outside line at
Studio 54 in 1976.
It
is the female egg’s 'wisdom' that chooses in this process.
Women’s natural right of choice. Feminine 'wisdom'
choosing the best course of evolution, the best idea for future
species. And she gets to choose from a refined selection of the
best ideas that the male collects and fights to bring to her.
We can see in nature how males fight to deliver to the female the
best, most effective functioning genetic idea.
King
against King, two ideas 'fighting' to refine the truth, the
individual and the society is a foundation of nature that she seduces
us all into playing, before we were even born we were playing it.
Conflict
and winning keeps the species moving forward. Nature may have designed
human being to want to win, and want to win big.
Humanity has now discovered nature's principles of synergy, the
non zero sum win win road of evolutionary success, and our individual
intention and experience of winning has everything to do with it.
We
all want to win or attain something, right? Michael Phelps may want
to win and win big and even the solitary, humble, and non ego event
driven monk wants to attain peace and transcendence.
We
can define win however we want but we all have intention and a will
to attain that intention.
Let's
embrace the win win game to survival and success as a rational strategy.
In
society or the societal conflict of idea, we expect to have our
idea about winning challenged by our opponents so our idea of winning
is the most expansive and rational, honest one for any and all,
individually and collectively.
Winning is nature’s seduction, and win/win is humanity’s
rational and logical complement, the only successful way we can
administer ourselves effectively and efficiently.
Win/win
is nature’s synergy, and nature seems to want us to play it,
she may be leaving clues for us everywhere.
Win/win
is the only effective way that we can survive as a species, create
opportunity, solve problems, and mate and partner up.
It
is easy to see that the game performed between the sexes is based
on win/win experience of sexual and sensual pleasure,
and all sexuality is best expressed when both partners are
giving and receiving the coveted and desired shared experience
of mysterious erotic experience that administers all life.
Win/win
is the funniest, sexiest, most effective, rational, inspired, holiest,
strongest, most opportune way to live life.
Human
Being's success as a reproductive species is our proof!
Can
humanity discover this natural administrative synergy on non zero
sum and zero sum and apply it to create Win Win Foreign Policy
instead of the failing and misery producing 'War on Terrorism'?
The
war on terrorism will consistently increase terrorist acts around
the world like mating will consistently increase babies. The world
body is engaged in a simple conflict of idea with political forces,
and instead of focusing on the ideas in conflict, they are increasing
the problem, spreading the false and misleading win/lose meme of
physical warfare as a solution to the complexity of human being
social administration.
For
the first time in history, we can structure all dialogue into a
framework so that BOTH sides can win in any and all ideological
conflicts. We can quantify the conflict of idea and harness the
essence of war into the outcome of peace.
OS
0 1 2 renders the old world Machiavellian win lose strategies harmless
and ineffective. There is nothing stronger than win/win. All
sides contribute strength, all sides receive the collective strength
in return.
In
the game of life, the female always wants the best idea, and the
male fights to give it to her.
Win. World. Peace. Globe.Win.
