I'm working on a longer response, but quickly, (1) Something has always already gone awry and always will have -- that's what I mean by the weather we work in, and (2) "Competitive zero-sum game" is inaccurate, or at leas need not be accurate: the "game" can be played in such a away as to keep the "losers" in it. Difficult. Almost impossible. But that's what capitalism does to us. I'll let you have fun playing with reflexivity on that.
