Competition is one way of arriving at the optimal solution to a problem. Some call it the “Law of Nature”, survival of the fittest – where the final score can only be One to Zero. Unfortunately, in order to feed the winner, we must cultivate suitable losers. Evolution is slow and inefficient as a business optimization tool.
The laws of Nature provide infinitely more examples of collaboration than competition. Even if one player does not win today, their capacity to innovate remains to continuously improve the game for everyone later … if we let them.

Analysis:
This video acknowledges the value of competition as a solution optimization tool. So competition is not being called into question. However, a different problem involves preserving the knowledge, innovation, and wisdom that was created in the act of competition so that they can be developed in future or tangential problem solving environments.
Economics is the science of incentives which invariably invokes the discipline of game theory. we do have complete control over how a game is played, how players are preserved (or destroyed) and how equity is distributed. As such, we have complete control over the sustainability of the game which is ultimately in the best interest of everyone.
The conclusion is that a game which maximizes the health and welfare of the players ultimately maximizes the value of the game.
