    The word 'competition" here is the trap.

    Competition encourages you to seek every loophole and exploit to keep ahead, even if it means kneecapping yourself in the long term. It’s no different than an athelete drugging themselves up for the Olympic Gold Medal just to end up hospitalised for the rest of their lives.

    Regulations are just another barrier to be bypassed under the law of competition. Why? Because optimising fun out of the equation is the meta.
