anyone have a biological explanation for this win-seeking behavior?
on evolutionary terms, this individual competition doesn't exactly maximize the fitness of our species - not very altruistic.
how could we have evolved to instinctually want to win?
perhaps, it's a subconscious desire to be "special" or "unique" so that we may prove ourselves to be more fit than the rest of the population, and that our set of genes are the most valuable to homo sapiens.
that said, i win

Mais vous avez tort! Je gagne et je continuerai a gagner!
Je ne sais pas pourquoi tout le mond veut gagner... nous ne recevrons rien.
Arretez-vous, je dis, parce que je suis le meilleur
Seulment moi - je suis special...
Si vous ne parlez pas francais, vous ne pouvez pas "post" (what's the verb for this again?)
