I think BoxHiller is saying that competition should be multiple
individuals with their basic needs covered competing for access to
greater success. Singapore's competition isn't that way, though.
Success means "normal life" with basic needs met, and failure means
something worse than that, like welfare bum or similar shame.
"Normal" shouldn't be shameful, and the great successes shouldn't
achieve only a normal life. A society which works that way is not
healthy or strong, it is stressful and strained.
Did I understand you correctly, BoxHiller?
