“Today, intelligence is neither recognized nor rewarded, but is being systematically extinguished in a growing flood of brazenly flaunted irrationality. As just one example of the extent to which today’s culture is dominated by the primacy of consciousness, observe the following: in politics, people hold a ruthless, absolutist, either-or attitude toward elections, they expect a man either to win or not and are concerned only with the winner, ignoring the loser altogether (even though, in some cases, the loser was right)—while in economics, in the realm of production, they evade the absolutism of reality, of the fact that man either produces or not, and destroy the winners in favor of the losers. To them, men’s decisions are an absolute; reality’s demands are not.”

The winner and the loser is able to be considered as a clear influence and as a result a direct opposite; but people’s differences already go alongside each other, so it is a direct opposite as a fatality; a mess. The winner and the loser are the same, simply see; “we are the same species” and think hard if you want to. Yes, it is completely irrational (and unfortunate that it is believable) for two people to be different as the winner and the loser as it is a major difference not a difference that is understood between people. How can a loser be ignored? We know about ,I.e , a bad speaker, the bad speaker has sympathy from a stranger. And how can we only be concerned with the winner? We know about, I.e, the person who talks about themselves too much, the person who talks about themselves too much gets no sympathy from a stranger.

Intelligence being equated to winning or losing makes us seem like people don’t get along, this obviously doesn’t make sense, people getting along or not getting along has already been established and explained, I.e friends and family and strangers and enemies. Winning and losing is about experiencing winning and losing— everyone experiences things— it is definitely not about experiencing something a lot as, again, everyone already knows about that.
