–‘snide’– I know. I know. But then, those who are capable don’t fear competition, but cherish it, and those who aren’t capable, admonish it. It’s purely logical to disapprove, shame, ridicule, gossip, and rally when on is inferior and fearful of competition. In fact, Good competition is rare. If you disapprove, shame, ridicule, gossip and rally against superiority that’s admission of inferiority. And, yes it is quite simply to judge superiority vs inferiority, as greater time, calories, content, symmetry, and precision – just as fine art is distinguishable from petty – by the time, calories, content, symmetry, discipline, innovation, and precision therein – just as all man’s thoughts, displays, words, deeds and achievements are distinguishable and their differences in quality decidable by the time, calories, content, symmetry, discipline, innovation, and precision therein. Just as we, as organic creatures are measurable by the time, calories, content, symmetry, discipline, innovation, and precision therein – in genes, body, behavior, and knowledge. And therein lies the difference between criticism of the lack of time, lack of calories, lack of content, lack of symmetry, discipline, innovation, and precision therein – and criticism of the judgement of others on the relative presence or lack of time, calories, content, symmetry, discipline, innovation, and precision. Either one can build himself or herself – or not. Either one can build a craft, skill, or art himself or herself – or not. Either one can build works, tha produce returns – or not. Either one can build a family that produces generations but imposes no costs now or future on others, between himself, and herself – or not. Either one can build a company that produces positive returns – or not. Either one can build a polity that produces positive returns without the need for immigration – or not. Either one can build a nation that produces positive returns without the need for parasitism and conquest – or not. These are facts to those who achieve them, and uncomfortable truths to those that fail, and heinous demands by those who will not try, and oppression by those who prefer parasitism.
