You know the feeling rebutted by the "two cakes" meme? Where something's not worth doing if you're not *the bestest* at it, getting discouraged if someone else is more skilled? That's... not an innate human thing, is it. It comes from being raised in a hypercompetitive society. You can't just play, you've gotta win. You can't just make art, your art has to sell, and to sell it has to outcompete. You can't just get the girl, you've gotta make sure nobody else gets to love her.
