00:00Competitiveness is there in our genes. We bring competitiveness to the corporate
00:06world, to the world of trade, business, governance, education from the jungle. If
00:13you go to the jungle, the place we all come from, what do you find there?
00:16Continuous competition. And if you listen to Darwin, he says evolution itself is a
00:22result of competition. Do you understand the word dialectics? At the core of
00:26dialectics is competition. You could also call it confrontation or resistance.
00:31Two things meet, they oppose each other and out of this opposition something
00:36apparently new emerges. This idea is at the core of Darwinian evolution. So it's not
00:41as if the corporates have made us competitive. We have been competitive since
00:45we were an amoeba. It is because of competition against surroundings and
00:52situations that the amoeba has finally become homo sapiens sapiens.
