We live to compete. What I learned by winning the Duolingo diamond league
<p>It’s Sunday night, and until midnight I can’t go to sleep. My opponent, an account called Roman with a status of a French flag, is only 100 XPs (experience points) behind me and he’s not stopping. My advantage was unwavering until Roman came online, I’ve built it up steadily in the last couple of days. <strong>Now</strong> <strong>we’re frantically competing, which in Latin means striving or seeking together. There’s no time to think about what it is we are seeking.</strong></p>
<p>Spoilers: what I learned by winning the Duolingo diamond league wasn’t Spanish. It was more of a life lesson than a language one. It prompted me to explore why we humans are compelled to compete and what is the worth of winning, with the help of the usual suspects: ancient Greeks and Nietzsche.</p>
