When there's more than one self-conscious agent existing in the same world, it's quite possible that there would be some conflict of interests, and this is the case in humans. The whole process of evolution is based on competition, survival of the fittest. No matter how much socialists etc try to change the game to a win-win one, still the competition is the essential part of the life.
Right now I'm a loser, a real nerdy loser, literally. I can imagine myself becoming a winner, but this will be at the expense of some other people losing. Would I feel happy? I don't think so.
Bottom line: I don't want to live in a world with win-lose rules. How can I deal with this? Sometimes I think about putting my sense of empathy into trash, and become an asshole winner just like many others... but idk, I feel too confused.
