Why is Letting People Win a Thing?

Courtesy of Mtashed 5:20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6Y_6g0icbg I have a question for everyone here. Why exactly, is letting others win, a positively viewed trend in our society? If you let your opponent win, you aren't teaching them anything. You aren't teaching them how to improve and learn from their experience. You aren't helping them at all; save for a brief feeling of accomplishment. Their victory, means nothing. If this trend is propagated throughout the next generations of humanity, like how this current generation is doing, we could see an increase in entitlement, narcissism and the inability to accept and learn from defeat. Today's lesson, is simple. Equality of outcome is a dangerous idea. Equality of opportunity however, is perfectly reasonable and should be embraced.

  • I'll sometimes let people win but usually not random people. They'd have to be close. But even then it's very rare that I do. I'm a competitive person and my ass is out to win. Maybe I'd let my gf win on occasion to be that guy but a lot of the time I'd smash [spoiler]Giggity[/spoiler]
