>Well-known zero-sum games, like poker, do not create value; the amount of money around the table is only changing hands but does not grow. In a zero-sum game, the main competitive weapon is deception or, at the very least, withholding information – ergo the proverbial poker face. In contrast, the decisive success factors for plus-sum play are honesty and openness, which creates and maintains the requisite trust between the parties.
A society exists in order to produce added value for its members through fruitful cooperation. The internal rules of the game should therefore promote value-enhancing plus-sum games and minimize futile zero-sum play. Destructive minus-sum games should be totally unacceptable. By defining these interrelations in mathematical terms, game theory becomes applicable and fundamental insights can be gained.
>The perverse logic of evil permeates all minus-sum games and predestines a parasitic, self-punishing course. Evil has no future; left to itself it comes to an inglorious end. But neither can the plus-sum game be perfected without losing its inherent creativity. Perfectionism is not of this world; dishonesty and injustice, anxiety and ill fortune can be minimized but never abolished. All bodily infirmities may be eliminated in the future, but we can never get rid of our spiritual sufferings. Setbacks, privations and sorrows are unwelcome but mandatory.
The actual content of the plus-sum remains dependent on subjective evaluation, but a clear pattern emerges if we draw on universal human virtues and shortcomings. Zero-sum games provide the exemplar of nullity; the minus-sum means negation, waste and destruction. Only the plus-sum implies the generation of value, enhancing the level of the game, encouraging commitment, altruism, ethical thrust. The plus-sum game is an enunciation of agape, divine love, which seeks not its own but suffers and endures, believes and creates all things.
>showing the ways
feels lost, yet can't find the exit.
the lost place is called zero-sum street.
within the Dao there are many ways:
zero-sum way, minus-sum way and plus-sum way.
The plus sum isn't necessary a easier way could be hard, because it said that even "All bodily infirmities may be eliminated… can never get rid of spiritual sufferings" don't understand why the spiritual sufferings?? any examples to prove?
But also said it generates value!!
So my guiding light,
please lead me,
lead me onto the plus sum way.
