Doing that would be interesting, but the way most people are in the first world soon there would be dog-eat-dog again, rich exploiting poor, and critically : people not taking responsibility for thier actions.
Responsibility is key. If you dont take responsibility - conciously for each little thing you do, then where is the motive to clean up your act?
When you realise that the exploitation of some poor third worlder who has to work in a userous system just to buy food is as pointless as self-harm, then you wouldnt do it. Understanding that we are all one, and whatsoever we do to others we do to ourselves is the responsibility factor that we have to get first.
Just having our problems wiped away, probably would not help that much in the long term as it would remove the catalyst that will end up with us fixing things properly.
To me constructive competition is an oxymoron. In a competetive situation, one man's gain is anothers loss - why is that a good thing?
