Competition and Cooperation

Competition seems to inspire our progress, and cooperation achieves it. We have been, and still are, a highly inspired species. Our future survival would seem to depend on much more cooperation.

Cooperative endeavors have always produced miracles. Through cooperation peoples around the world built such incredible stone structures that we today have little or no idea how they did it and many of us simply can't bring ourselves to believe that they ever could have, preferring instead to suspect extraterrestrial assistance.

If aliens built the pyramids, so be it. I'll bet the ancient Egyptians never lifted a finger to try to stop them.

If ancient people could cooperate with each other, if ancient people even cooperated with extraterrestrials, then surely we modern folk, enlightened by our past, can work together not only to solve problems, but to build our own monuments...
