hahaaha I totally get what you're saying in the days of today, but we also need to recognize that this quote is a deep philosophical one rooted in Taoism.  

It's suggesting that true victory or success comes from not defeating others, but from transcending conflict as a whole. 

In Taoist thought, dualities like opponent and ally, or victory and defeat, are seen as illusions. The true sage rises above these dualities, seeing them as part of a greater whole

By not seeing others as enemies, you adopt a stance of non-resistance, which is a core principle in Taoism. This approach allows you to move through life fluidly, adapting and flowing like water, rather than rigidly opposing others

and also more than all of those, inner peace is very important for Taoism, so being in peace with yourself, and not being an enemy with yourself are super important here.

But I also get what you mean about the Less enemies that is also very true lol  thanks for reading this far 55 $DEGEN

I lack knowledge on eastern philosophy, but @thedude has sold me on Taoism.

The quote for context, "When 2 opponents meet, the one with no enemy wins” - Lao Tzu

Is there an equivalent to “the purpose of a system is what it does” for (meta)games/politics/coordination? 

I get that these are encapsulated by the idom, but looking for something that highlights the human side over the procedural/mechanistic one.

I wrote about how /AI systems seem like autonomous meaning-making entities but are actually tools which can’t make meaning on their own. Understanding this seductive mirage helps us figure out how to use AI systems now and design the future of work.

The knowledge base keeps on increasing, how can we keep up? I guess at some point generalists will have a hard time completing their learning and more people will specialist on one bit of topic. Then we have ai to assist, another piece in the equation.

Do you think guilt would exist without religion?

Do you think there’s a purpose to morality?
